Book by Balet, Marc

Great on the coffee table... a sexy spoof. -- New York Newsday, 12/19/99

Schaulust "so war ihre Schule noch nie" lautet die Titel-Unterzeile des Bildbands "The Class of Click". Wie wahr! sexy Cheerleaders necken knackige High-School-Boys, und in Wirklichkeit handelt es sich um Profimodelle der Agentur "Click". Im bestgelaunten Agentur-Jahrbuch aller Zeiten inszeniert der Fotograf Roger Moenks den High-School Enthuellungsfetischismus im Hochglanzformat.(GQ Magazine (Germany) Nov,1999) -- GQ Magazine (Germany) Nov,1999

The Class of Click dishes up some fat-free desserts! Model agency books are boring. It's a fact. Page after page of pictures of pretty girls and boys from their best catalog work, which you've already seen slide out of the Sunday paper. Breathtaking stats are hard to imagine when the model is wearing a patterned sweater and pleated chinos. That's why Click presicent Frances Grill decided to revamp the genre for 2000. German born photographer Roger Moenks shot the bodies of Click in the manner of a high -school yearbook, though completely unlike any we've ever seen. The school play is called Guns and Buns, the class chatterboxes are bound and gagged and best dressed couple is naked. The Class of Click is perfect for any model-worshipping voyeur... -- HX Magazine Dec, 1999

The photos veer between cruelty, goofiness and naked desire, which is pretty much the usual emotional equation of adolescence, the time when the horny rule. And with models as the top tier of coolness, this would be the highschool from hell, where everyone-from the prom queen to the shop-class jerk-off is better looking than you. -- Oceandrive Magazine Dec, 1999

There are high-school movies and high-school magazines, so why not a high-school modeling portfolio? The average working model is far too fabulous-and far too busy jetting around the globe to fashion shows and photo shoots to ever set foot in a classroom.....In the meantime, there's the vicarious pleasure of the Class of Click from photographer Roger Moenks. This model-agency portfolio disguised as a high-school yearbook imagines campus life in a fantasy world where, as Paul Rudnick writes in the foreword, "everyone is Best Looking and Best Dressed, busy with five periods of gym-no lunch" and "extracurricular activities usually involve the Concorde." -- Detour Magazine Dec/Jan 2000

Think going back to high-scool is, like, your worst nightmare? Well, just imagine if you could trade in those acned, braces-wearing classmates for sexy, scantily-clad models. Here's today's lesson plan: home ec-learn to lick whipped cream off of a nubile babe wearing a thongpanty and apron; shop class-master the art of the blowtorch under the tutelage of a hot, sculpted hunk. Sound fun?...... -- pdn-photo district news Magazine Nov, 1999
