"Gotham Games called me, and I could not be more thrilled. I've been waiting to be in a video game forever, so when they called there was no hesitation"
About this Quote
The key move is in the power dynamics. "Gotham Games called me" frames her as chosen, not hustling. In a media ecosystem that punished women in glamour industries for seeming too eager, being "called" is reputational armor. It lets her appear ambitious without appearing grasping. Then the line pivots to craving: "I've been waiting... forever". That exaggeration does two jobs at once. It tells fans this isn’t a cynical cash-in, and it retrofits video games as a mainstream aspiration rather than a niche detour.
"No hesitation" is the clincher: instantaneous consent as authenticity. But it also hints at the era's new gatekeepers. Games, not magazines, not TV, are the platform with momentum. Margolis is reading the room: interactivity is the next level of visibility, a way to be consumed endlessly, replayed, owned. Beneath the bubbly tone is a crisp understanding of branding in the digital age: the body becomes an asset, and the avatar is the newest billboard.
