I’m calling it, being a model is not all it’s cracked up to be.
Yes, you have undeniable genetic gifts. And yes, clothes probably hang from you with ease like you are a human hills hoist.
But being professionally good looking would be a bloody nightmare.

That time the fashion world was so out of ideas the models just had to wear each other…
The designer behind the human fanny-pack, Rick Owens, was praised for yet another avant-garde runway show for this human rights’ violation.
He, by the way, was responsible for that time penises were hailed as the accessory of . (You can see the NSFW pics here.)
In explaining his latest fleshy must have, Owens said it was a tribute to female strength, “women supporting women”.
I’m all for women supporting women, but also those poor women.
Imagine carrying your work colleague around on an empty stomach! Ouch.
In conclusion, fashion: I get it, but also I don’t get it even slightly.
WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE MODELS??!
