I’ve always wanted to be a princess, more than I wanted to be a model. Being a model just seemed like a lot of competition so you could wear ugly clothes, never eat, & be washed up in your early twenties. Models just seemed to me to be very picky & unreasonable & have a tendency to throw office equipment at their assistants. So it’s always confused me that young girls look up to supermodels.
I’ve enjoyed watching “A Model Life” on TLC. It documents six women who are trying to make it in the business, with the help of Petra. There is only one (Angelika) who has the model high maintenance thing going on. The other five girls seem genuinely nice, a little insecure, even grateful. I guess that I don’t have to imagine a big controversy with princesses & models in a boxing ring duking it out, I think it’s possible to be both.
