The Great BRK Model Search
Sometimes a really great idea pops into one’s head with a bright light and a “pop!”. Sometimes a really great idea beats at your door and threatens physical violence. But sometimes a really great idea is disguised as something comical and stupid.
“Hey BRK, look at this idea. Isn’t it dumb! Haha!”
“Brain… that’s genius!”
“No, it’s stupid.”
“It’s so stupid it’s genius!”
“You can NOT ask your readers to send you a picture of themselves posing like The Banshee Queen wielding a great, honkin’ longbow, preferably in proper WoW-attire with cape and hood.”
“We totally can!”
“And short-shorts.”
“Well yeah, we wouldn’t go that far.”
“Sleeveless top.”
“Um… Brain?”
“And knee-high boots.”
“Brain?”
“And sneering, but not in a totally evil manner, but more like, ‘You’re gonna die at my hands, you’re so lucky.’”
“…”
“They don’t need to own a longbow, they can just pretend.”
“…”
“Yeah, BRK. Don’t ask your readers to do that.”
We’re going to make a new teeshirt, and we need someone to pose for it. If you’re up to the challenge, send us a pic of you pretending to be Lady Windrunner. The BRK Artist will take your pic, work her magic, and we’ll make piles of money.
(Tell us specifically if you do not want your pic published on the blog so we don’t embarrass you.)
In accordance with Title IX and all other non-discriminatory laws, notice that we did not restrict this endeavor to the female readers. If Harvey from Wisconsin wants to send us his rendition of a Green Bay Packer fan portraying a huntress, who are we to deny him his shot at glory.

No Spirit Beast….
Sigh
/sad
Need Arthas Shirt, I can pose for it, I haz Frostmourne
But Sylvanas? I know the perfect girl for posing but she hates being photographed =(
Spirit Beast and knock some more of the Gorilladins out, new idea sounds a little cack.
I think this sounds like a great idea! BTW you are totally within your rights to send any male applicants packing lol ^^
You do have to be careful with the gender laws today, besides I know a guy who looks better in a dress than I do (not a hard achievement if I’m honest)
Unfortunately I don’t exactly have the elven physique, I’m tall, but that’s about where the common ground ends, but good luck on your search and I hope Mrs BRK doesn’t get curious about the influx of half-dressed women flooding your e-mail!
Not a RL pic but here’s my 2 copper.

I can see it now.
A pretty buff guy rocking out on his longbow in Sylvanas attire.
…
*shiver*
It would be pretty funny though.
./air guitar
Oh…I can see the lulz coming from a mile away…
um, WTF?!?!
if you want nakies of me all you have to do is ask.
beware, though…er, parts of me tend to randomly fall off here and there…
Hi, TJ. You’re hardly trying.
“I hope Mrs BRK doesn’t get curious about the influx of half-dressed women flooding your e-mail!”
lol. After all she’s stuck with him through this blog already, I can hardly imagine THAT being an issue. Still, pretty funny. More redhead superiority incoming.
Plus, she reads the blog.
What was that, you say? The first photo posted will BE Mrs. Brk in Sylvanus attire? Hurm.
I can be the “before” model
or is it actually after, as in “after discovering wow” model ….
Hey Geena Davis is into archery, maybe get her to pose for you. Maybe she’s into WoW you never know. ::P
“Hi, TJ. You’re hardly trying.”
I have a job you know! You ungrateful heathens! You know, without me, you’d have to wait til 5pm for any BRK posts! FIVE!
FIVE PM!
That’s POST workday!
Stick that in your pipes and smoke it!
/flounce
LOL.
Someone called it: “More redhead superiority incoming.”
I am worried about the types of pictures BRK might be getting, there could be some real interesting ones in the mix (on both sides of the ‘YAY!’ and ‘WHOA.” coin)
GL in your search BRK,
Mestos
I think TJ or Mrs. BRK should give us an example of what BRK is looking for. I’m not really sure what he’s talking about and a sample would help a lot.
I agree with Stupid mage. This sounds like a job for TJ! Plus, I believe her hair is purple…
@BRK
…. lol wut?
@ TJ
“/flounce”
ahhh mymymy
TJ we all LOVE it when you flounce
; – )
(thanks for keeping BRK on some sorta schedule)
“If Harvey from Wisconsin wants to send us his rendition of a Green Bay Packer fan portraying a huntress, who are we to deny him his shot at glory.”
The image that conjured still haunts me…. O.o

BRK : You did state ages 18+
Dont want to see you on that dateline NBC program or whatever.
@TJ
Up yours.
Well I see thid is going to be aimed more to our slim, streamline readers.
Kai,
Why shouldn’t it be? The character being modeled is slim and streamline, as are most of the characters in WoW. As are most American/Western conceptualizations of beauty. I would fit the description of “Harvey from WI”, so I’m not going to send in a pic of myself. That doesn’t lessen the awesome factor of BRK’s idea in the least. There’s nothing in the world wrong with the fact that some people can do things that other people can’t. It’s fundamental, and will always be true. I could make a reasonably good model shot of a dwarf, so if BRK ever needs that, count me in (and count the “slim, streamline” readers out). If you want a human female that looks like Jaina Proudmoore, you call Kristen Bell. If you want an Orc Warlock, well, Rosie O’Donnell is probably already in your speed-dial.
Some people can play hunters, others will be Huntards forever, mostly because the information is available depending on one’s desire/drive to seek it out. BRK provides a service that makes good hunters great, mediocre hunters better, and if the Huntards could actually read, they might learn a thing or two. Plus it’s always fun to read.
If it bothers you that this post is “aimed more to our slim, streamline readers”, then I submit to you that you are (in all probability and reasonable likelihood) capable of learning the necessary information and taking the necessary action to become a person who fits that categorization. Maybe not in time to get yourself squeezed into a leather bikini for this particular event, but that’s rather beside the point.
/textwall off
I’m still puzzling over why someone would be embarrassed to have their picture on the blog, but not on a t-shirt.
But then, I’m funny like that…
[quote]If Harvey from Wisconsin wants to send us his rendition of a Green Bay Packer fan portraying a huntress, who are we to deny him his shot at glory.[/quote]
And if you publish that picture without providing barf-bags, you just know the FDA will be knocking on your door for creating a health hazard.
Aww… I guess I’m out. Any dwarf or orc stuff needed and I might be able to pull it off though. =p (Well, Orc only without height references…5′3 is a little short no?)
Actually I may need to keep my husband away from this, he is tall and slender and could probably pull it off pretty well. Um…
well, if he decides to try, I guess you’ll find out, huh?
The hidden messages are great, TJ! Hi!
So when and wher are you posting these pictures?
Send me a bow and I’ll take some photos. =P
OMG! You’re hilarious
I think we’d much rather see your face on her body!
