A professional fashion model is offering to wear a t-shirt promoting any brand for a day. Tanaya Henry, a 21-year old whose modeling credentials include L’Oreal, Microsoft, VH1, and Sephora, says she’ll not only wear a branded t-shirt, she’ll also “do a professional photo shoot wearing your t-shirt, write a blog post about how kick-ass your company is, and I’ll even talk about your company to all of my model friends.”
She also promises to post pictures of her wearing the t-shirt to her Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter accounts. (via Brandchannel | Fashion Model Pitches Brands On T-Shirts)

Click yes to say no. I can never tell if things like this are a clever ploy to trick the the user into subscribing or simply a terrible UI design choice.
