cut fine mind stitch stuff
I see potential in everything. It's about opening your mind to what you can do to the garment: because they're cheap, you can cut them or stitch them, and if you stuff it up, it's fine - it's only two dollars.
climbing hospital lots
I was always in hospital as a kid: I had a tumour on my knee, lots of broken bones. I loved climbing trees.
york
New York is such a versatile city, and there's always something new to discover.
climbed horses kinds ridden shame willing
It's because I have no sense of shame that I'm always willing to give things a go: I've ridden horses naked into the sea, I've climbed rocks, all kinds of things.
models quite taken
It's quite rare that you find models taken care of backstage.
aching blank
Let's just say, if I weren't a model, I'd be a walking collage. I see my body as a blank canvas that's aching to be decorated; I find it all very fascinating.
firefly night parks
I love Prospect Park-watching fireflies at night and going to the bandshell for free music.
years two apples
Sure, we had to be skinny. I lived on Diet Coke and apples for two years. For the couture, we had to get up at 4 am to be sewn into the clothes and there was huge pressure to be thin. But I made a million dollars by the time I was 20, I bought a town house in Manhattan and put myself through Columbia. Does that make me a victim?
