the Brazilians with "more African features" are probably of African descent, you know, and therefore every bit as Brazilian as those of European descent.

The models who portray the steroetypical "all American" look tend to be of European rather than indigenous American descent, too.

P.S. Dudes, I know y'all are in denial about being in your late twenties. But please get over it, or email each other privately or something, becase those of us who are older than, say, 27, get kind of annoyed. At least wait until you hit a number with a zero at the end to start whining.

Last I heard, Brazil is the most ethnically diverse country in the world, home to those of Spanish, Indigenous, African, Asian, and European descent, and a lot of them have mixed. Actually, I think Sao Paulo has the biggest ethnic Japanese population outside Japan. It's like in America, you wouldn't call someone with an Asian name less American.

There are some hardcore chemical relaxers and straightening processes from Asia. Japanese "thermal reconditioning" is supposed to permanently straighten hair. It's offered in some places in the U.S now, but it seems like it wouldnt allow your hair to grow out normally.
I hate the smell of hair chemicals. I want to bolt from the salon whenever someone is having something extreme done.

1) Is it funny or horrifying to watch a fellow model take a dive on the runway.

2) Are underage models, i.e. 15, paid fairly or are they taken advantage of (and how the hell can they work in the US, don't we have child labor laws?).

3) If models eat do they promptly throw it up?

4) Tatiana, do you find that most of your friends are inside or outside the industry (i.e. other models).

This inquiring mind wants to know. Thanks!

Hello, we're not dumb either, the reason we have these stereotypes about models is not because we actually believe them, its because we have to have some leg up on them in order to retain a modicum of self-esteem because like, we're not in the like, top 5% of anything...

You'll start to feel more confident in choices you've made, and will realize that all the things you did in your 20s that you regret (bad boyfriends, that year you felt lost and basically did nothing) are history, and that no one besides you even remembers them.

Not to brag (which is to say, I'm about to) but you know those Pantene commercials? That's my hair right after blowdrying without any product. It even holds curls! Anyway, I refused to get it colored until it got to a point where a coworker couldn't help but point out the random gray strands (I've got black hair).

I also envy your job, as it was my little girl "when I grow up..." dream- and good for you for doing it while remaining normal.

More Fashion Week insiderism!

At 20, I'm a recently retired model and I always get fielded with tons of questions. I mean, I was just a lanky girl who was in the right place at the right time. that's it! the whole model=dumb thing is sooo played out!

and the eastern bloc models, as nice as they may seen, remind me of death.
