I love everything about fashion. I even love the fittings and watching it evolve from a pattern to a muslin to the final product.
I'm so glad this worked out for me, I do think I know how to be a good model.
We have this expression, Christy and I. We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day.
I don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day.
I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.
On days when I do not work, I am working on my image. I have to hit the gym. I have beauty appointments. I have to work toward my next job and maintaining my image, just like an athlete.
I never get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.
Hair is just one way of expressing ourselves. We express ourselves through how we dress or through tattoos or body art or piercings or cosmetic surgery ...
I was one of the first print models to go on the runway because I wanted to do runway. When I started doing the shows, I was the only print girl there.
Fashion faux pas should be celebrated. I enjoy them because it means we're not all clones.
God help anyone who disobeys my recycling system. I have all the separated bins. I'm very adamant about it because I try to be a good citizen of the world, I really do. I even use eco-friendly cleaning products, but sometimes you just have to break open the disinfectant. Some jobs require it.
I have turned down so many major advertising bids because I think either the time isn't right or I'm not.
I don't get cast for every job and I understand that.
Designers and photographers still want to work with me and I'm grateful for that. I don't know how long I'll carry on - as long as they'll have me.
