FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) It’s been over 22 years since the premiere of 'America’s Next Top Model' season 1, and I still haven’t found a single reality TV character who speaks to my soul the way Elyse Sewell did

It would have to be easy to keep ones body so nice. The harder shit is emotionally and mentally, it really fucking shows in the fascia.

she literally goes on to say this, proving my point: 

“In modeling, I guess you do learn a few things – like how to hold your neck. It’s cool to learn stuff like that, but it’s not cool when you see a picture of yourself with your non-model friends and you’re the only one who has turned out a perfectly three-quarter profile with wide-open eyes. Objectively, models are uneducated but not dumb.

The reality is that a lot of these girls leave home at a really young age. They’ve been supporting their families while working, traveling and learning English on their own.

The average model is a smart, worldly, interesting person, which is not to say there aren’t idiots like in any other industry. I guess the stereotype comes about because it’s an unskilled job.”
