the annals of model-dom

models get a lot of crap. it's easy to look at what they do and feel like there's nothing to it, i mean, how hard can strutting down a runway be, right? and with shows like ANTM (or the superabundance of reality model megalomania) i often find i have little empathy for the woes of these walking clothes racks. buuuut, after the fall seen around the world at prada's show this year, i started investigating, and have compiled some pretty ridiculous things these pretty pennies have had to walk the runway in. i'll tell you- i'm not sure i'd want to put myself in their shoes- literally!

mortifying!

i really didn't think her career would survive that one

my next point, how are they expected to keep it together when they can't even see?!
