‘Can’t take the risk’: Woman has her date cut up her steak and feed it to her at a restaurant, and her reason is wild

A content creator from Los Angeles recently showed her followers an unusual part of her job. Kiitywan is a hand model, and she can’t use knives when eating at restaurants because it’s too risky for her career. In a viral TikTok video, Kiitywan sits at a dinner table with her hands crossed in her lap while her boyfriend cuts her food and feeds her every bite. 

The video shows her smiling and dressed up for a nice meal, but she keeps her hands far away from any sharp utensils. According to Bro Bible, she wrote over the footage: “POV: you’re a hand model, so you can’t use a knife.” This might seem like a joke, but it actually makes sense when you look at how much money hand models can earn. 

One mistake with a knife could cost thousands of dollars in lost work. Kiitywan has shared videos from her professional shoots, including one at a billboard photoshoot where she wore large colored diamond rings. Kiitywan showed her followers how much she earns from hand modeling jobs. She gets paid $1,600 for an eight-hour shoot and $1,250 for a four-hour session. She says this type of modeling can pay just as much as traditional modeling work.

Hand modeling pays well enough to justify extreme caution

Top hand models confirm that this level of protection is necessary for the job. Professional hand models like Ashly Covington and Brooke Coleman explain how much effort goes into taking care of their hands. They say moisturizer and cuticle care are extremely important for keeping their hands in perfect condition.

Brooke Coleman revealed she wears special protection when working in her kitchen. She uses “glovens” when dealing with hot items and puts on “no cry” gloves when using knives. A small bruise or cut might not matter to most people, but for a hand model, it means losing thousands of dollars right away. Her careful approach to dining out mirrors concerns people have about restaurant practices when it comes to making safe choices.

The video got over 12 million views and attracted many comments from viewers. Some people made jokes about the famous Seinfeld episode where George Costanza becomes a hand model and immediately hurts himself. In that episode, he tells Jerry that his “knuckles are all out of proportion” and hairy.

However, not everyone believed the extreme measures were needed. One commenter wrote: “I’m a pianist I use my hands like a normal person. It’s not healthy to live in fear.” Some people also pointed out that Kiitywan plays beach volleyball, which is hard on the hands, so she might be exaggerating a bit for the video. 

While her dining situation is unique, it’s not as challenging as what some families experience at restaurants when they make the wrong choice. Still, the basic truth remains that when your hands earn you thousands of dollars per day, you’ll protect them from even tiny risks.
