WWTMD? || 2019

I figured for today’s post I’d do something a little different. Usually I give you a review, update or DIY of some sort, but not today. Recently life has been kicking me while I’m down and to battle against falling into a void I’m taking it head on with a new slogan. WWTMD? or “what would the models do?”
I know there’s a crap ton of views on the modeling industry and how it affects peoples views on worth, beauty and expectations. However, these are just my opinions on the subject. Since about 2012 I have been invested in the modeling industry. Coming from Los Angeles, one of the modeling ‘hubs’, I’ve been close to it my whole life, but never personally involved. It’s been my dream to get involved and while I have no idea where to start, I take what I can when the opportunity presents itself. I am way more likely to be behind the camera than in front of it, but again with the right guidance I’d love to do so.

Being inspired by girls like Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo (who’s husbands Mom was my high school advisor & my Dad taught the band), Barbara Palvin, Caroline Lowe etc has helped me motivate to hold myself to a certain standard. Before I moved to San Jose I went to a pretentious private school right on the edge of Bel Air that my father worked at alongside the Schwarzenegger’s, Witherspoon’s and more. Going to school with a celebrity’s child raises the standard for everything, I wore make up everyday, had to have my hair done and maintained a classy & trendy sense of style just to keep up with these kids around me. I became VERY relaxed when I moved on my own, and I lost the importance of having my face on and my hair done. These days I don’t bother to brush my hair most days because the horses won’t care, and I only wear mascara if I wear anything makeup wise. I found out a few months ago about Model Squad a really fun reality television series about models and their journeys through life, shoots and friendships. It happened to cast three of my favorite models I follow into its squad and I am addicted to it. Along with that I created the slogan to reteach myself the importance of my roots and the fact that beauty/fashion is part of who I am. WWTMD? is my reminder to value what I need to keep myself happy, how to tackle problems with class and ease, give me something to look up to and creates a standard.

I’m really excited to see how this outlook changes my life, to see if I ever get involved with modeling or other unseen opportunities.
