    I'm not imagining myself particularly moved by the story of a wealthy privileged woman ending up wealthy and privileged. But maybe the film will provide an interesting look into other women's lives.

    I don't understand why an intelligent girl from a well to do family in NYC would go into modeling. She has so many other options. Modeling seems like a job that would only be attractive to girls who wanted to live in the big city or had no other skills to make lots of money.


    On a side note: There is a picture of the photog Kelly from RHoNYC was married to in the clip. Their age difference is much greater than the Count and the Discountess. Ew.

    @PersonOfInterest: Yes, that would be Gilles Bensimon. He was Elle magazine's creative director/main photographer for eons. Before he married Kelly, he was married to Elle Macpherson. Bensimon was a kingmaker of the 80s/90s supes.

    Wrong. Many models are actually girls/boys who just happened to be at the right place at the right time and were spotted by modeling scouts. It seems like many of the big-name models kind of "fell" into modeling and watched their careers snowball. Modeling is not as easy/mindless as it seems, it actually requires a lot of dedication and stamina and it can be really lonely at times as well.

    @Understater: eh, you're getting your picture taken. you're walking around in painful shoes. the flash on the camera doesn't sap the soul. Not that that is in complete disagreement with your statement, I agree it's probably not AS easy/mindless as it seems.


    I agree with PersonOfInterest's comment. to go into this field with all the opportunities afforded to you, strikes me as silly. All the models I know do it as a side hustle along with artsy shit that barely pays the bills. And they're apparently lucky to even find paying jobs.

    What an incredible idea- I hope that this movie can highlight some of the issues found in the industry ("not-rape," for example?) in a healthy way that can normalize this overhyped, oversexualized, and slightly terrifying industry.

    All I can think is that a title for model drama movie could Blue Steel Magnolias. Lots of tears, accents and people getting their hair done.

    I wish I could go to work with my hair up like that...


    Why can't jeans be normal work attire? What is wrong with a pony tail 5 days a week?


    I've seen more bad khakis here than bad jeans. :(


    Damn you Apollonia, and your cute, cute kerchief.


    Now I'm bitter and I've already had my "I'm Bitter Twix" Where's my "Back Off Bucko M&Ms"?

    I did ONE modeling/television spot while living in Asia-never again! The shoot went 6 hours over, was soooo boring you have no idea. I cannot imaging doing it for a living (although, I wasn't exactly getting wined and dined with jewelery,clubs, etc so it could at least have its perks in that respect...)

    @Blueberrypie: Har. I did some bikini/beach clothing modeling for a few surf shops here back in my twenties, and the most I got for it was a bikini and some flip-flops.


    I guess it was supposed to be for the fun of it, and god I wish I had photos. My fat ass could use some encouragement right about now.

    It's amazing to see how many people and how much time it could take to sell something as uncomplicated as panty-hose.

    @Macloserboy: Yep, namely Domiva. And the fashion editor and photographer are meant to to be Vreeland and Avedon - although I am sure you know that ;-)


    You should read "Diana Vreeland," it's a good book. That woman had mad style.
