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.

@sportz.star: Your pantyhose are uncomplicated? I'd like to buy mine where you buy yours.

Silky, control-top, reinforced-toe, sheer-toe, all-day, energy sheer ... *goes away muttering*

@Andalucian Chic: well, crap. I was just about to head over to Netflix!

They aren't the most reliable source for documentaries, it seems. (there are others I have tried to get)

I had a boss like this guy once. If you got trapped by the mail cubbies with him you were a goner.

I seem to remember that Sandra Bernhardt was a Zoli model too, although I could be wrong.

Thanks for the heads up on this, I will have to rent it.

I will, always and forever, loved Unzipped. And I consider Funny Face to be a Fashion Film.

@BabyJane: @ChildBride: That whole "Ring A Dem Bells" song and dance is one of my favorite musical moments.

@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.

God Tatiana!

It's almost sad that you must be gorgeous on the outside - because you are so talentedly gorgeous on the inside. I bet few in your modeling world even know that about you.

And for all the hard things a model has to do and see, I'm glad there's one out there who's not a 13 year old uneducated Lithuanian - but is instead thoughtful, intellectual, inspired, mature.

All this stuff is just fuel for the fire, fodder for your book. Your true calling is so completely obviously writing my dear, not pouting!

That was a fantastic article, if heartbreaking. I had never heard of her before today, either.

Thank you for this. It's beautifully written, and it brings out the real pain and sickness of something that the general public prefers to see as a sort of glamourous tragedy.

Franken learned to let her agencies, or her husband, handle her affairs, to be engaging, solicitous, and on time, and to never worry about the future because the present is its own bewildering curlicue of moments.

The worst thing (bold) for a woman to do. A woman must always be in charge of her affairs even if she lets her man feel as if he is.

You're a hell of a writer, Tatiana. Keep planning that book and taking notes ("bewildering curlicue of moments" - wow!) because I for one will be first in line to read it!

Am off to read the VF article now.
