hard work
Hard work is not why I have been successful as a model.
barrier hard work
The barrier to entry, to being a model, is not hard work. You don't need a degree. You don't need to win an award. It's just about how you look.
gives modeling views work
I work hard, but my modeling career gives my views undeserved attention.
few people work
I've had a few conversations with people who are horrified: who tell me my work is demeaning, is sexist, is negative.
ted work
I haven't done the profoundly impactful work many TED speakers have.
desire highlight needed quite together work
If I ever had needed to put together a CV, it would be quite short. Like many young people, I'd highlight my desire to work hard.
good
Even if I did give a good talk, is what I have to say more important and interesting than what Colin Powell said?
fixed
Fashion is capitalism, and it will be fixed by what the market demands.
art bad build platforms
At the Big Bad Lab, we build participatory art and media platforms for causes, communities and organizations we care about.
outfit single third
When you're looking through a magazine, you'd think every single person's a different person, but every third girl is actually the same girl in a different outfit and makeup.
agent bathroom beds bringing bunk charms constantly dramatic girls grocery lived model stop took
When I first lived in a model apartment... It was two bunk beds to a room, and the bathroom was constantly in use. I was bringing in Lucky Charms cereal, and one day an agent put a stop to that. She said, 'You're making all the girls fat.' They took it off our grocery order. That was the most dramatic thing that happened.
I am insecure... because I have to think about what I look like every day.
modelling
Modelling is no better or worse than many other professions, but it is more obvious, more accessible.
few men objects valuable women
Modeling is one of the few professions where women out-earn men, and that's because we're more valuable objects and ornaments.
