YOU WANT 'EM, THEY GOT 'EM
CONVINCING a dwarf to pose in a nude fashion layout is no small feat. Just ask the staff at hipster glossy Another Magazine, which launched a frenzied search last week to find an immodest male midget to star in a shoot with a batch of scantily clad Click agency mod els, lensed by photographer Alexi Hay. At the 11th hour, Craig Lechner's Impossible Casting delivered Little Jimmy, an emcee at the Coney Island Circus Side show, who just happens to hire himself out for bache lorette parties as a mini- male stripper. (He also ap peared as an Oompa Loompa in the 1971 classic, "Willy Wonka and the Choco late Factory.") "He's in his 60s, but he's a stud," Lechner told us. "He looks great." Ironi cally, Impossible Casting was also recently tapped to find a giant for a fashion spread in an upcoming issue of Italian Vogue. The agency came up with former wrestler Radu, a 7-foot-plus Russian who is making his big screen debut this fall as a villain in the new "Pink Panther" movie, which stars Steve Martin.
