I happened on Daul Kim’s blog a few weeks ago and updated my Gawker status accordingly. This is quite possibly the first time I’ve ever been ahead of the curve on things fashionably now.
I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like Elyse Sewell. She always seems so snooty, like she thinks she's better then everyone else. That post about her bulimic roommate isn't helping.
Girl's not at all concerned about the well being of the person she lives with just annoyed because it's affecting her.
I know we don't always respond it situations in the "correct" way, but just because you think something doesn't mean you have to post it on the internet. I'm sure her roommate felt great when she read what Elyse thought about her.
On a more positive note: I've seen Coco Rocha's blog before and it's great.
@Laura Enriquez: I think she is a great writer and model, but I don't warm to her either. Her infamous ANTM rant isn't awesome to me, just nasty and mean. I know several of her competitors were assholes, but in my eyes that speech made her one as well.
Also, not to quibble, but I think "the most successful contestant to ever survive the Tyra Banks modeling school" is Mollie Sue.
Elyse Sewell's blog is wonderful- she's an excellent writer, terribly funny, and the pictures add a lot to the day-to-day travails of a working model in Asia, often with rueful humor. I remembered her from ANTM- ("you...bitches!") and started reading her blog when I read Michael Chabon was a huge fan of it. Who knew?
I do wish there more frequent updates, but she really puts a lot of care into each post, so I understand- she's busy with the ladyposes in any case..
@Baroness: I love her and am glad to be reminded of her blog. I laughed when she lost because her other alternative was medical school. And instead she's a working model. Love it!!!
Too often women are made to feel that beauty and brains are exclusive of one another. And that beauty for women is more important. Elyse proves that you can have both and brains seem right up there on the scale of important.
@stoprobbers: One thing she wrote about recently is that when she was in mainland China she had a terrible time updating since you couldn't post to livejournal.
@Tart of Darkness: I know, but then she said she was back in Hong Kong and dammit, Elyse, I'm travelling through Asia vicariously through you pleeeease give me my fix!

And I've read Elyse's blog many times... she's such a great writer. It's like getting emails from a friend on vacation.
