Don’t worry boys, I’m not being a ‘misandrist’ leaving you out – feel free to join in with us as we discuss our PERIODS. Oh. Bye then…. It’s not just about periods, but I did […]
Here we are again, looking at the model poses that baffle me…Even as I find myself doing them. And today, we have… Look 3: P*ssing in the Street! I diligently developed these bright white ankle […]
I don’t know about other markets, but modelling in London in January is rather slow. There are jobs and castings, definitely – but it’s rarely the most satisfying satisfying month of work. Plus – can I be honest […]
I see why we do it. Making insane diet/fitness resolutions that 98% of us will embark on with good intentions….And give up by January 11th. Dry January, long, miserable runs in the winter darkness, shivering over a […]
As I said yesterday, us models experience moments of chronic embarrassment too. In fact I’d venture to say that it’s worse for us, as our shameful episodes generally caught on camera. One of Bookings Models’ most […]
Something that seems to have resonated with a lot of my readers is my embarrassing stories. A lot of the embarrassment stems from vaginally-related narrative, though there are other body parts always willing to show […]
You always want what you don’t have, and I would LOVE to have curly hair! I love the way it announces the wearer’s entrance when arriving in a room, the fact that it’s an instant […]
So today was interesting. I had a casting for a Diesel Jeans job with iD Magazine. I won’t deny that this came as somewhat of a surprise, as such edgy editorial clients seem to skim […]
Just in case you missed it, you can see Part I of Louise’s wonderful interview with Modeltypeface on the previous post – she doesn’t mince her words! With no further ado, here’s Part II! R: Though […]
I’ve known the beautiful Louise Adkins for 11 years now. We were New Faces at Select together, but that’s where I felt any similarities ended. Picturing Louise in the Select offices all those years ago, I […]
Every model has great boots: FACT. I learnt, very early on, that every model needs: – A ginormous bag housing your book, a hairbrush, heels and a trillion Pret receipts. – A pair of skinny jeans […]
I’ll be honest with you. When Coco Rocha said that she’d answer a few questions for Modeltypeface, I ran around in circles for 5 minutes, called my boyfriend and spoke in excited, monosyllabic utterances and […]
Every New Face needs a model to look up to – it helps gives us inspiration to set out the sort of career path we want to follow, and motivation to keep us wanting to […]
So, the Victoria Secret Angels have rolled into London and are wafting about, bearing their peace signs, pouts and pertness. This is just like my own girl’s school photo This is wonderful timing, as it’s just […]
Believe me – I take problem skin really seriously. Having had acne three times in my life so far (at 16, 19 and 21), I realise what it’s like to walk around feeling ashamed of […]
Having spent a long weekend eating and drinking around Paris with my boyfriend, I feel properly in need of a detox. When I drink wine every day and eat too much bread, croissants, dairy and meat, I […]
Yesterday, I did my first ever full-on lingerie shoot. I have obviously worn swimwear and the odd underwear set on jobs, but a lingerie client has never booked me to represent their brand. This has […]
To give you an idea of why one might need to think about maintaining a relationship in modelling, let me give you a couple of examples of what my boyfriend, Theo, has had to deal […]
I remember a really arsey hair stylist getting annoyed at me a couple of years ago. “What do you use on your hair? It’s not in great condition.” (FYI I thought my hair felt lovely!) […]
My mate Rudie. I met her three years ago, and I knew, from the second she walked in the room, that she’d be a success. She’s absolutely beautiful (obviously!) but there was something more – […]
So, my next ‘Model Dictionary’ entry is… NIPPLE HASSLES! This is the general hassle, boomf and pain that arises whilst possessing a pair of nipples in the fashion industry. Common problems include: – Sheer agony […]
When I started modelling, the only exercise I did was walking to bus stops. I was, by now, in sixth form, so the weekly hour of humiliation and torture that others like to call PE […]
I’m not remotely embarrassed to say this: Emily is one of those girls that I can’t help sometimes feeling a bit jealous of. Whenever I see her, she has an enormous grin on her face, […]
How is this even worthy of a post? I hear you ask. What possible need for help could a person have to send a simple email?… Well…. Agencies get hundreds of emails every week from […]
The most important criteria required become a successful model (apart from the right look, obvs) is persistence. You’re going to have to laugh in the face of rejection – even though you want to cry. […]
Hello reader, So far my posts have been fairly witty (I’d like to think), informative and supportive. Well today I’m ANGRY. I just read this rather mean article: http://theblot.com/an-open-letter-to-kendall-jenner-about-her-model-bullying-7725835 Which desperately attempts to justify bullying […]
There are many ways us models become models. A great deal of us were lucky and got in the easiest way: we got scouted. Where was I found? Well, like most other English models, scouted outside Topshop in […]
