    i sort of sit on the outside and think most models are 'better than me' for being prettier, skinnier, etc but i wonder if there is an whole other divide within the modeling community of higher paid/lower paid models. now there's your reality show - rich model, poor model. of course, both classes would have the same meal budget of $10/week.

    @miss_swiss: Erm, $10.00 a week? Really?


    A. That'll buy you maybe one container of sliced fruit at Whole Foods.


    B. Way to generalize/judge the entire modeling industry.

    ...dropping $100 on cabs to take you to and from a job that's gonna pay $200 (after your agency's cut, when you get paid in three months, if other expenses your agency assesses in the meantime don't eat it up entirely)...


    Egads! I assumed that photographs = bank! and that all models used $100 dollar bills to roll cigarettes that are then lit with $20 dollar bills. I knew that it could be tough to be a model, but man! That sounds terrifying.

    @lilbobbytables: Modeling and stripping are share one interesting characteristic: the ability to make money greatly varies and the overhead for working is directly passed onto the models/dancers in fees.

    Urban Outfitters is so shameless. I'm not sure why but it annoys me much more when they rip off fashion designers than when those at Forever 21 do it. Maybe because the product is still so expensive?

    @Shannon: That, and people shopping at Forever 21 seem to have a pretty even-toned view of themselves: young, hoping-to-be-trendy, not-rich. On the other side, give a hipster a croptop from Urban Outfitters and they act like they invented 90s fashion.

    @AmyGee: I don't know if that particular compaign donation is true, but the people who own Urban Outfitters (and all its sister stores) are very conservative and donated extensively to McCain. Some people act shocked by this, but most owners of large conglomerates are. It's just capitalism in action.

    Right, Robin Givhan, because what we need right now are more people distracting politicians/those involved in politics with shallow attacks on their appearances. (*cough* Laura Ingraham *cough cough*)

    As the economy dries up before our eyes, and little children don't have health insurance, and the earth is melting, it's comforting to know Ms. Wintour is sticking up for what's truly important.

    I knew Lauren Conrad was in trouble when her stuff kept showing up on hautelook.com. Honestly, it's pretty boring and overpriced for the quality of the work (which is generally unforgivable), but as "basics," I thought some of her dresses were kinda cute. Also, she picked out some sweet prints. So, RIP LC's clothing line.

    @megscissorhands: I think they would've sold well at a lower price point, like the juniors section at Macy's. The teens that watch The Hills would've been lining up at the door.

    Dear sweet Lord: if this show is anything like Models, Inc., I will be watching it back to back with all my Tivo'ed episodes of Drag Race. Accchhh...Pleasure overload!! Also...Am I misremembering, or did Models Inc. end after a story arc involving the agency being turned into Hookers Inc.? All I know is my best friend and I acted this out with our Barbies, who toted around Pez dispensers full of "uppers."
