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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Everyone gets jealous in the fashion industry. There is always a girl who’s prettier, has a better body, a more winning smile, a better personality. There’s always a photographer getting more work, or a make up […]
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, […]
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 […]
I’ve had a big couple of days, in regards to my own body image. It’s all sprung from a very trivial seeming event: namely, #Throwback pictures on Instagram. I put up these pictures, lightly joking/fishing for […]
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. […]
As my last blog post on Kendall Jenner being bullied highlighted, models are burdened with misconceptions of bitchiness, backstabbing and hunger-induced nastiness. Apparently we all beatifically fight one another all the time Well let me […]
