We know it when we’re scouted, but we don’t let it really sink in til our mid-20s: our job doesn’t allow us to get older. We’re meant to stay in the employable bracket of 16-21 […]
Hello everyone! Last week I told you how to get a decent Instagram following. Quite a few people told me they were amused at me saying how our agencies are always telling us ‘get your […]
I was pretty shocked to hear that a crew of former models is taking their agencies to court. Shocked because they were suing their agencies for things that I, to be honest, put up with […]
So! Lots of us models have to get through a nightshoot at least once in our careers. Sometimes they’re scheduled, and other times (worse times) they’re when a regular shoot runs on into the wee […]
Oooh, it feels nice to be back to normality, with all the right posts going on all the right days! Today is a short and sweet post about Colladeen Visage. These are supplements I’ve been […]
I’m very proud to share with you this beautiful letter from my best friend, Aisha, to her daughter (cutest baby in the world and blessed with a lot of Aunties competing to get her to […]
There will come a time, in most models’ lives, where they will have to make out with another model. For some it’s a dream. Sexy guys kissing sexy girls, letting the chemistry flow, the sparks […]
I’m off to Amsterdam! I’m going to the MINT Trade Show at Modefabriek. It’s a fashion and lifestyle trade show and MINT has a particular emphasis on what I love – Fair Trade and sustainable fashion! I’ll […]
Dear Modeltypeface, My 13 year old cousin has been scouted. The agency won’t be doing anything with her ’til she’s 15 of course, but in the meantime she’s really, really keen. I’m happy for her […]
I’ve been meaning to write a post like this for ages – but not only has Sophie Thomas of A Model Example pipped me to the post – she’s done it better than I probably […]
Hello! I’m glad you’ve all been enjoying The Year Of Undiet, and that a lot of my words have resonated with many of you. Friends of mine who do not struggle the least a bit […]
The Week Of Undiet is aimed at freeing ourselves of the shackles of calorie counting, guilt and continuous cycles of dieting. As a past serial yo-yo dieter I can tell you – on a physical […]
So! Yesterday I told you all about how it’s time to banish diets. It’s time to stop every new year with the plan to eat in a disciplined way that ends up limiting your life. […]
Hello and welcome to New Years on Modeltypeface! Like many of you, I feel a little disorientated, out of sync and lacking a certain feeling of health and wellness that I’m used to. That’s Christmas! […]
Wow! What an exciting email to wake up to! Ford Models, the famous Ford Models, the agency that launched the original supers… Interested in little old ME?! Wow! I thought. A new lease of life […]
It’s a weird time of year, isn’t it. The board games and gluttony are over (mostly), we’re just starting to actually wind down…But it’s also a time of year to get a bit figety – […]
Sluggish? Full up? Eying the Celebrations from 11am? If, like me, you’ve slightly regressed to the state of a baby over the festive period, then let me wake you up with THIS FACE! Maria Carla, […]
I had another brilliant day shooting with Caroline Albertelli and Emily Vickers-Willis. I really feel confident that Caroline’s gonna do well as a photographer – she’s gaining in confidence and starting to push herself and experiment with […]
Last week I showed you my shoot with Caroline Albertelli, a model and photographer. I was mightily impressed with the outcome of her first ever proper shoot, and so were our friends Tamsin and Lily […]
Hello everyone! I had a really bad skin week last week – an attack of hives all over my face! I felt so self-conscious and physically uncomfortable. I think it was caused by me not […]
It was with sadness that I saw a group had been started on Facebook about an agency I am MORE than familiar with. The group discusses how this agency owes thousands of pounds to their […]
So! I thought I’d give you all some tips on Copenhagen, as I want you all to go! It really was one of the best city breaks I’ve ever enjoyed. I can’t say I had […]
Dear Modeltypeface, I need to lose two inches from my hips. I find I’ll have a really good week, but then I’ll let go at the weekend and I’ll lose my discipline. My hips are […]
Look at this! My model mate Caroline Albertelli‘s wedding to Greg Taafe has been featured on Rock My Wedding! I know lots of Bookings Models girls who went and they were all buzzing from how […]
I am wishing I still had this coat!!! I’m going with Theo, his Mum and Uncle to see an Abram Games exhibition othere – Abram is Theo’s Grandpa – a very talented poster designer who […]
Hello all! It’s a fact – you’ve got to have an Instagram to book work these days. No matter how incredible your bone structure, the client will always go for the model with a greater […]
Lily Osborne is my #ModelCrushMonday because I’ve known her since she was 14 and, while she’s now a ridiculously pneumatic, beautiful woman, she’s still got the same kind heart and aura as she did when […]
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 […]
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 […]
OK, this rather tickled me. A VERY beautiful, very sexy and VERY youthful model I know lied about her age on a form at a casting. It does rather show the ageism in my industry […]
Hello everyone! I’m back! Did you miss me? I missed you! I had a wonderful holiday in Zakynthos, though it was a bit weird in some ways. Family can often be hard, and other people’s […]
When I last saw Beatris Denis, we were at a birthday barbeque. She was measuring out plain turkey breasts and weighing salad while I, on the other end of the spectrum, had positioned myself by […]
In an industry that expects a pretty face, a ‘perfect’ body and a pleasant, passive disposition, Lauren Wasser is defying expectations. Check out this incredible interview with Vice Magazine, in which Lauren describes losing a […]
This is one of my all-time favourite products. It works, it’s reliable, and it’s inexpensive. I actually got it for my boyfriend, as he gets very oily problem skin. It is something of a miracle worker […]
So here’s my latest vlog, all about getting a natural base with a great glow, which is perfect for castings. As I say in the video, it’s all about getting your YOU-NESS across – no […]
Hello! Do check out my latest vlog, which is all about how to get a conversation going, even when clients seem to be determined to completely ignore your presence (that they have requested). I do […]
Check out my interview with the lovely team at Photolink. I go up to their studio in Manchester once or twice a month to shoot e-commerce up there. Sounds like a drag? Not at all! […]
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 […]
Double chins… Jabba just needed to watch my vlogs and he’d have had a sharper jawline! …AKA the scourge of a good profile pic! They get us all, but did you know there’s a very, very […]
