Are Hand Models The New Super Model?

With Apple churning out one hand-held gadget after another, plus e-readers and other cell phone companies, hand models have now got it made. Before all this technology, hand models use to be mainly women promoting nail polish. But I've been noticing these beautiful hands particularly in the new iPad commercials and wondering who these faceless models are... and how much do they get paid? I've read that a :30 second spot can take up to 12 hours. So you may think you have beautiful hands and this would be the perfect line of work for you, but hand modeling is still considered "work." You need to still create a modeling portfolio, take really good care of your hands constantly, and deal with rejection. And watch out for those hand job jokes!

My favorite hand modeling reference is of course the Seinfeld episode where George becomes a hand model. Check out the video.
