Modeling Industry Confessions

The Fashion episode was such a hit that I decided to revamp and re-release another set of industry-related confessions. With casting help from DeuxMoi, we're coming out from behind the scenes and exploring life in front of the camera as a model.
I open the episode with my own Tales of Taboo about my lulz attempt at a postgrad modeling career (you'll scream at the very off-brand national campaign I booked), and a few encounters with agents and casting directors that, as the kids say, 'altered my brain chemistry'.
(10:50) Then, our anonymous contributors are or were signed in LA, London, Miami, Milan, New York, Paris, Seattle, and Texas, and represented by well-known agencies such as One Management, Genetics, Heffner, Next, Select, and Women (plus some others I’ve been asked not to name). They tell equally juicy and shocking stories about:
-what it’s like behind the scenes at Fashion Week & Miami Swim Week 
-working for controversial brands like American Apparel and Yeezy
-lesser-known but higher paying sectors of the industry, like e-comm and fit modeling
-the harsh realities of diet + exercise routines (maintaining 35 inch hips!!)
-model houses, club promoters, and international ‘yachting’ trips
-loneliness and depression brought on by working abroad
-agency debt, and what success ACTUALLY looks like
Plus, ON the record, we have agent Jane Belfry (@janebelfry) from BTWN Management breaking down the “body positivity movement” and model-turned-badass musician Dana Dentata (@danadentata) serving honest insight on everything from industry hyper-sexualization to working with icons like Ryan McGinley and Juergen Teller.
