Things you've done when you've had no money.Apart from the usual survival rations of beans, white bread and Doll Noodles™, we've all done things to compensate for having no money. Personally I spent 6 months barefoot to save on the cost of shoes. What pathetic things have you done when the cash ran out?

took my clothes off for moneyI got through uni by life modelling in various draughty art schools. It's easier for girls, as there is no fear of the stray erection (supposing you might get turned on by harsh strip lighting and having grannies looking startled as they accidentally catch your eye).
Downsides included having to wash charcoal dust from the most surprising places, the class with the mad woman who would wander round and dribble instead of drawing, and the deadly cold.
Upsides were free cups of tea, and reclining poses, where you are basically being paid to have a nice lie down. In the nude. In a room full of people. Hmmm. I think the money is rather better at Spearmint Rhino. At least there you then don't have to see twelve or fifteen wierdly distorted drawings of the saggy areas you are less than proud of...
