As a style blogger, I cull through hundreds of photos of models per month- and while I’m generally looking at the clothing they’re wearing, it has become sadly apparent to me that these girls have rough lives. I mean, have you seen the looks on some of their faces? Clearly, the platform stilettos are killing them, the food situation is bleak, and the travel (not to mention the parties) neverending.
I have come to believe that it’s my civic duty to make the plight of the world’s fashion models known. Perhaps together, we can start some sort of fund or food bank for these girls- or even collectively adopt them. All I know is this: SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
Take a look at the despair:
Elantra realized the warm bowl of steam she’d had for breakfast wouldn’t get her through the shoot after all.

The cozy sweater reminded Magda that she’d neglected to schedule a pet sitter for her new Shihpoo puppy before leaving town three days ago.
(Long Turtleneck, H&M)
Satchel deeply regretted being rude to the stylist.

Peony couldn’t believe her manager made her miss the Justin Bieber concert for this.

Irina suspected the extra soy latte she had yesterday was to blame for the noticeable weight gain in her calves. (Sleeveless Printed Dress with High-Low Skirt, Ideeli)
It occurred to Jourdan that she wouldn’t make it to La Perla before closing time.

For the life of her, Goethe couldn’t remember the lyrics to that Katy Perry song.

“For some reason, you remind me of Jodi Arias,” the photographer said, before snapping the picture.
(Fine-Knit T-Shirt, Zara)
Credenza just found out about Coco Rocha’s party last night.
(Marni Virgin Wool Pointed Collar Jacket, Gilt)
Cilantro abruptly remembered where she’d left her Balenciaga moto jacket– at the hotel in Dubai.
(Sweatshirt Dress, H&M)
I ask you– How can you look at these photos and not DO SOMETHING?

Wiping away tears over their plight. We really have underestimated the modeling world.
I do so love it when you pull out the comedic side of your writing. I heard once that they try to make the models look blank so it shows off the clothes, but some of these people look downright miserable, not to mention in need of a cheeseburger!
The snark is back! Love this!!
Love the names you chose for each model! Cilantro was my favorite.
Cilantro! LOL
Ha! So hilarious. I love the bowl of steam for breakfast one. I would be sad about that too!
WHY? Why did you stop? There are millions more photos awaiting your talent!
No Elantra with her steam bowl breakfast was the best! Hahaha
You crack me up…the names that you come up with!
