Ricki Hall picks up the energy of a room, swirls it around, makes it bounce of the walls and infuses everyone in there with enthusiasm. It’s true. I met him years ago, maybe 5, when […]
So. We heard today. We didn’t get it 🙁 Even though I know it’s all part of modelling, and I’ve been doing it for 14 years…It’s pretty crushing to not get a job you set […]
I was very chuffed to get another message on my Facebook page the other day, asking for some modelling advice. I’m always here to help! This is what it said: “Hi Rebecca! I’ve been following […]
OK, so, don’t judge me on the following post. Firstly, if you haven’t seen it, check out the previous post on ‘How to Self-Tape for a Commercial Casting‘, in which my lovely boyfriend, Theo, stood […]
So! As I’m away, I had to self-tape my own commercial casting for a VERY big job, as I’m not here for the actual casting (completely typical!) I’ve never done this before, but having done […]
Many models have a unique and questionable ability to experience many cultural varieties of catcalling. My most hated location was Milan, where I felt that it was acceptable and open. Men, old and young, would […]
Ooooooooooh! I’m so excited! Today I get my birthday present from my boyfriend! I seriously have no idea what it is! He’s booked me out for 5 days so I’m guessing it’s a trip somewhere. It […]
1) Don’t ever, ever book a holiday. 2) Book a holiday, then stay home because you booked a really amazing job that you simply can’t get excited about because you should be on holiday. 3) […]
So! I’ve been rather looking forward to May 19th. May 19th is when I get my birthday present from my boyfriend. He wanted to do a complete surprise, but of course with my job he […]
I have a confession. I don’t wear deodorant. This is often met with a shocked and slightly disgusted face. The fact is – I’m not much of a sweater, as it were. I totally got […]
It was World Fair Trade Day on Saturday, and People Tree – for whom I am a proud ambassador – asked me to choose which of the Fair Trade criteria is most important to me. […]
Keen readers may have seen my previous post on TheYogaProduction, in which I focused on how great Yoga is for models. For the Manuka Blog, I sent Hollie a few more questions about her journey […]
Hello dear readers! I had a wonderful 3 days in Cyprus. My boyfriend’s best friend, Victor, AKA the King of Cyprus, lives in an incredible house that his father built. It’s ridiculous. It was a […]
Hello everyone! I’ve written another article for Manuka Yoga, this time on sportswear and status: why more women, year on year, are buying spandex over skinnies….Are we all Waynetta Slobs now? Click the link […]
I’m off to Cyprus for a coupla days, so there’ll be no posts. But I shall return next week, bronzed, refreshed and ready to regale you with my musings once more. Rebecca x
Dear readers, I’ve got a very exciting guest post today! It’s from previous ‘Only Human’ contributor Charlotte Carter-Allen. I would have never looked at Charlotte and thought she would face any great issues in modelling […]
It’s election day tomorrow! I truly hope you’ve all registered to vote. It really does affect us all – take us models, for example. The political party in power aren’t just relevant to us in […]
I’ve been at it again! On Saturday, I woke up for my TheYogaProduction class and, bleary eyed and with only 15 minutes to get ready, I saw a stream of texts from my excellent friend […]
I got my very first reader question! I was asked, a coupla weeks ago: “Hi Rebecca, Wanted to say I love your page and how down to earth you are! I just really wanted to […]
Here I am standing up to the advertising industry AND Against body shaming in one fell swoop. Its about the Protein World adverts…. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/protest-over-protein-worlds-beach-body-ready-advert-descends-on-hyde-park-10221028.html I’m wearing my People Tree Bardot too and star & moon […]
So! All around me a maelstrom of strong opinions has flown around me regarding bodies in the media over the last fortnight. We saw Jamelia slammed for her opinion that overweight people should feel ‘shamed’ […]
So we’ve learnt about light, smizing and using vowels to pout. For our last day, we thought we’d look at how to act in front of the camera. We’re showing three categories today – ‘edgy […]
