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 […]
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 […]
Christmas is coming, and ‘tis the season to get gout. After a year of hot water with a lemon, ‘explosive squats’ and quinoa, the temptation to let ourselves go and indulge in gluttony, idleness and […]
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 […]
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’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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 – […]
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, […]
When I started modelling, my mum was scared for me all the time. At the time, I couldn’t see what she was worried about – it was fine! Everyone I met was cool! It was […]
Commercial castings are castings for the ads you see on TV. Why do we want adverts? Well – they can pay quite well, and if the rights to the advert are bought in multiple countries […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Steve Read is an absolutely ACE photographer. Every day his Instagram feed will be full of the ridiculously hot beautiful models – often posing in their smalls. All the pics in this blog post are […]
This is for the brave. You’re putting yourself out there, fully squaring up to the face of rejection, and that’s a very scary thing to do. The good news is: it’s utterly simple. You don’t […]
