Waiting for a paycheck 6 months after doing the job. Chasing money from a reluctant agency in another country. Doing e comm for £180 and seeing your face plastered on the site’s web banners. Turning […]
Double Cleansing is an official ‘Thing.’ Did you know about it? Like all beauty trends, I looked at it with a bit of a cynical hat, because of course each new trend means a new […]
When Maddie Moore walks into a room, you know about it. She’s got a huge amount of energy, but it’s all very warm, very open and very natural. It’s not in anyway attention seeking or […]
I’m sure many of you will have seen the video of someone drying out and grinding up an avocado seed. Immediately I jumped on the bandwagon. I LOVE this stuff. So I rinsed them, dried […]
Wowza! I have a supermodel on this week’s Modelling & Motherhood series! Chloe and I started as new faces together at Select, and Chloe’s career has since gone interstellar. Being tall, lean, exercise-mad and with […]
It’s Fashion Revolution Week. A time to ask: who made my clothes? Can you look at the labels of each of your clothes and imagine who made them? Do you kind of know, but don’t […]
Yes, this is the same Rebecca who rallied against Protein World’s ‘Bikini Body Ready’ posters. Yes, this is the same Rebecca who will say, “In order to get bikini body ready, put a bikini on […]
Today’s #ModelCrushMonday was my other co-model in the Littlewoods commercial I did last year, Lazara Storm. I’ve already sung the praises of Tessa, and now it’s the turn of Lazara. Those casting directors really knew […]
We’ve all met Sophie Holmes a few times here on Modeltypeface. She gave me a fab interview, talking about her journey through modelling (not always an easy ride) and how getting strong finally made her […]
Dear Rebecca, I read your post on how to avoid rejections. It is so good but I feel like I’ve heard it all before. Most times I go in for the London agencies walk-in times […]
I hope you’re grateful for my endeavors. When he goes to get ready for bed, tired after a long day, I make my faithful guinnea pig boyfriend, Theo, test out the fancy skincare aimed at […]
Today’s #ModelCrushMonday is Fifi Newbery, a recent discovery of mine! She is a lovely-seeming model with a blog called Fifi’s Looking Glass where she wears very stylish outfits that I’m not entirely sure I could rock […]
Insomnia is a curse, it really is. It can affect your life when you can’t sleep properly – when you spend your whole day dreaming of hitting those pillows, but you spend all night with […]
So I just got this comment on my article ‘How to Snog on Photoshoots‘… I wanted to address it because it made me a horrible mixture of angry, sad and worried. So firstly: NO ONE […]
Next up in my series on motherhood and modelling, I meet previous MTF interviewee Charlotte Connoley, who talks with unflinching honesty about what why it was the right time to have babies, and how she’s […]
Dear 14 Year Old Rebecca, It’s not much fun being 14 year old Rebecca. Everything makes you worry. The only relief you get is eating pudding, and Friday evenings with a stack of books and […]
Meets Stina Sanders. She’s a model who has made headlines for putting up less-than-perfect images of herself. Take a look at her Instagram and you’ll find endless beautiful pictures, mixed with the odd bout of […]
Taking good care of your hair, when you’re a model, can feel like something of a losing battle. I remember a (rather nasty) hair stylist saying to me, “Why will models spend hundreds on skincare […]
Leanne Maskell is today’s #ModelCrushMonday because she goes against pretty much every preconception of models going. Being both a model and blonde, Leanne probably comes up against a fair few cliched jokes about being dumb […]
I’ve started a wonderful new project called ‘Modelling and Motherhood’, asking all the questions an uninitiated model might worry about parenthood. What happens to your work, your body, your priorities? Last time I asked Jen […]
