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 […]
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 […]
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 – […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
