Laverne & Shirley season 2 episode 7, titled "Dear Future Model," follows the beloved duo as they aspire to become models. The episode starts with the girls finding an ad in the paper calling for models, and they quickly jump on the opportunity to pursue their dream. Laverne and Shirley spend all night perfecting their looks and poses and head off to the photo shoot the next day.
Upon arrival at the studio, Laverne and Shirley are met with a cold welcome by the photographer, Ken (played by David L. Lander). Ken immediately begins to criticize the girls' appearances and tells them they need to lose weight and improve their clothing choices if they want any chance at modeling. This sends the girls into a frenzy of self-doubt and insecurities.
Feeling hopeless, Laverne and Shirley decide to seek advice from their boss and friend, Mr. Shotz. Mr. Shotz hilariously misinterprets their request for modeling help and mistakes it for an employee morale issue. He calls in a group of motivational speakers, who turn out to be more interested in boosting their own businesses than helping the girls.
Eventually, Laverne and Shirley realize that the only way to succeed in modeling is to be themselves and embrace their unique qualities. They return to the photo shoot with a newfound confidence and impress Ken with their authenticity. The episode ends with the girls joyfully modeling in front of the camera, proving that true beauty comes from within.
Overall, "Dear Future Model" is an uplifting and humorous episode that reinforces the importance of self-love and acceptance. It also showcases the enduring friendship between Laverne & Shirley and their unwavering determination to chase their dreams.
