This was ridiculously difficult for me. The conversation would go something like this:


Me: Will you donate your face?
Them:What???
Me: {laugh} I'm just kidding. Not your real face. I just need a photograph!
Them: What do you need it for?
Me: {checks cheat sheet} It's for SF0. It's going to fuel the war machine and supply for those most in need!

Them: SF0?
Me: It's this online organization. You do cool things like tasks and it's based in San Fransisco and stuff!
Them: ... What? That's weird, I refuse.

Them: War machine? That's awful, I'm not going to support a war!
Me: Um, well, no. Not that kind of war! Not really...
Them: Whatever.

Them: Most in need?
Me: Oh I don't know, like people who need a face!
Them: Uh-huh, not me. I don't want people with my face walking around.


And then It'd go completely downhill when I told them it was for a worthy cause but couldn't properly explain what that worthy cause was. I gave up on that line of approach and took the picture first and then ask them if I could use it, without telling them what I was using it for. I got a lot more this way and they didn't really care what I was using it for. Some did ask, and I told them but to them and everyone else it didn't matter what I was using it for and this concept was wholly irrelevant- as long as I got their good side.
