    Re: #16 - People are fucking DERANGED. I could slap a whole bunch of people a whole bunch of times, but mostly I want that top. (SORRY! I CAN'T HELP IT! THE FRINGE!)

    Your writing has been a vicarious thrill and a lasting gift. Thrilling: I lived a little more fabulously through your incredible career. Lasting: I saw a lot more clearly by your illuminating mind. Thank you for your words, and good luck.

    #9 was always my favorite! Which is terrible, considering the timing, but still.

    COME BACK! I'm teasing (sort of, and naturally I mean to San Francisco).

    But just in case you do, there's a brand new sofabed at our new place with your name on it, kitten. Proud of you, too.

    Congratulations, Jenna, and thank you for sharing your view of your world with us while you were 'Tatiana'. And I look forward to reading what you write as yourself- I suspect a lot of us do, in fact :)

    This is absolutely the best piece of insight on the industry, hands down. Having just started my own modeling stint after graduating university and heading into my second show season this fall, you are able to sum into words what I sometime cannot bear to believe/experience/witness, etc. etc...

    Thank you for delving into and identifying some of the issues (of the industry as a whole) that few people ever know about.

    Congrats! Beautiful portfolio, and poignant post. Sheds a lot of light on the industry. I've been reading your writing for some time, and I think it resonates with a lot of people who are pursuing entertainment as well as fashion - similar issues. You point out a lot of things people don't really address. GREAT work. Unique vantage point, and really gets to the heart of some interesting issues.

    Congratulations Jenna! You are one of the best writers on any Gawker site, and I always hoped you would become a more regular contributor.


    But also, congratulations Anna. Giving Jenna the room to shine was an excellent decision. You have taken Jezebel in some very interesting directions recently, and I hope you continue along these lines.

    That last paragraph is absolutely brilliant and think it's advice every woman should take, whether modeling, acting, in relationships or in everyday life. Someone will always be able to find a flaw in you, and there will always be someone looking for exactly who you are.

    Jenna, you are a beautiful writer. I love the poignancy of cutting your hair as a final declaration of freedom. Having been in theater and constrained to the image of the play (aka not allowed to cut my hair!) for months I can image what it might be like to be out of control of your own image for years.
