Hi! My name’s Jessica Cusack and I was a model. Wow, that sounds a bit like I’m at an AA meeting…I was scouted by Select when I was just a wee babe at 14 and […]
Congrats to MTF fave Emily Vickers-Willis. After years of slogging away – including a lot of unrec e-comm (good payer, fist-gnawingly boring at times) she has not only shot with Rankin (OMG!), Very (big time!) but […]
I just wanted to share this really beautiful little letter I got from a model I’ve never met. It made my day and not only that, it made all the time and love and effort […]
Here we have my latest vlog. It was inspired by a shoot I did recently, when I had to get up stupidly early. I used to get really stressed about the lack of sleep I’d […]

I actually developed my #ModelCrushMonday on Tessa within about 5 minutes of meeting her – but since following her on social media, it’s getting stronger. Tess is down-to-earth, intelligent and wickedly funny. I was delighted to […]
Here I am, sharing airspace this time with Caroline Baxter, editor of Woman & Essentials mag, (which I have previously graced). When I came off, I wasn’t too chuffed with my appearance and I do […]
Charli Howard’s open letter to her agency has compelled many other models to come forward and share their stories, like this MTF reader. She has requested to stay anonymous, which I totally respect – I’m just […]
Let’s all take a moment to say a little prayer of thanks for dry shampoo. It’s great for… Festivals, where the luxury of hair masks and warm showers feels light years away. Period days, where […]
Big things, it feels, are happening in my industry. Recently I’ve been on the news, talking about that overused phrase, ‘skinny models’. It always feels a bit impotent – people moan about us, we close […]
Lou Schoof is my #ModelCrushMonday because I think she has a captivating face, and I’m jealous of her bob. Her face is utterly timeless and versatile. Look at that bone structure – you could photograph […]
When I first met Eva, we were at a Pixi Store Launch and I was utterly enchanted. She’s very beautiful, but Eva is also very intelligent and interesting, and we had loads of chats about […]
They’re coming thick and fast! Another question, again about child modelling. “Dear Rebecca, I’ve had an email from my child’s modelling agency mentioning a casting with a £15 fee. Please tell me I don’t have […]
There is a very incorrect assumption about models: namely that we’re all rich. It probably stems from the vast amounts that the Supers in the 90s were infamous for reaping – Linda Evangelista famously said […]
It’s not a vlog today, because no one needs to see a close up of my bum. I’m gonna tell you about Ameliorate, which is an absolutely brilliant product that truly does what it says on the […]
Jamie Bochert is my #ModelCrushMonday because she’s so COOL! Pic is by Samantha Rapp for Vice She basically radiates everything I’ve never been able to, namely ‘I could be having more fun elsewhere’ and ‘whatever, […]
Hello everyone! Meet Tom Marsh, who’s new music project, Volpi, is being aired tonight so you should all tune in! Check out their Facebook group for more – it’s all very exciting! Would you believe […]
Let me tell you about when I first encountered Charlotte Connoley. I was sat in Premier, my first agency, aged 16. By my feet was my satchel, full of school text books and a portfolio […]
Check out this new music video, directed & edited by my uber talented friend (and ex-housemate!) Gabriel Bisset-Smith, starring Georgia Black who has the most incredible and powerful voice! In fact it’s all by my […]
So! Today’s vlog is all about how to optimise your beauty regime. It’s fine to spend £50 on a moisturiser but if you only whack it on after sleeping in your make up, it’s gonna […]
Katie Piper is my #ModelCrushMonday as she is beautiful because of what has happened to her – not despite. Many of my readers are models, so just picture this. It’s a normal sort of day. You’ve got […]
Yes Readers, this is me. That lady you see in Fair Trade clothing, smiling sweetly and talking about feminism… IS A HOT WOMAN AND A WILD RIDE WHO IS INTO FAST CARS! What is funny […]
Hooray! I just love receiving reader’s questions – it makes me feel trusted and like I’m doing something right! I got this question, from a model mum: “Dear Rebecca, My daughter has a test shoot […]
