Girls of all kinds can be beautiful - from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain-skinned; the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between. It's not easy though because many people still put beauty into a confining, narrow box...Think outside of the box...Pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you.
Love every part of yourself. Even the things that frustrate you. They make you who you are!
Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself.
The runway symbolizes something in society that's very intimidating to women.
I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation....
Modeling chose me, I didn't choose modeling.
My aunt used to call me light bulb head because my head is small at the bottom and bigger at the top. But it was a term of endearment.
Beauty's easy. Modeling is not just about being pretty.
I love being able to go to a store, let's say... a store like Topshop or Zara or maybe even Macy's, depends on what department, and not have to look at the price tag.
I was always a good student. I wasn't the A-plus student, but I studied really hard, and I probably had a 3.2. I always wished that I had the capacity to get straight A's, but I didn't. I didn't beat myself up about it, but I really studied hard for my grades.
Flaws are awesome - so, flawsome! I love making up a word.
When I was not connected with someone, I didn't get asked out that often.
Don't contour with blush - that's so eighties. It was an amazing trend then, but it's not hot now. Instead, go for a neutral contour color that's one or two shades deeper than your skin tone.
'Vogue' has the power to make and break - whether it's fashion trends, designers, models, and yes, even industry practices.
