Not for models. SuicideGirls is a mystery to me because I thought only women ran the site.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The first time I heard of suicidegirls was when a model from there contacted me to see if I wanted to do a shoot. I can't remember what happened with that but we didn't end up doing it.
I found through my fan mail that women... really wanted a role model.
I've had some very strong female role models, so I think that's an important thing.
I've always been a strong feminist and felt that the image of models was detrimental to women. That whole thing really bothered me. I would think about quitting about once a week.
Modeling is one of the few professions where women out-earn men, and that's because we're more valuable objects and ornaments.
It would be nice if models were allowed to be a more healthy weight - for the models, and for the young women who look up to them. We were athletic and healthy, and we looked like women.
Modeling is a lonely business.
Not just in modeling, but in society, there's so much pressure about what a woman should be, and, of course, it's just so unobtainable. You can never become that thing, because it's such a projection.
I think sometimes girls look at Victoria's Secret models and think that they have to model themselves after that, but I really don't think that's the best; even though they are called 'models,' they're not the best people to model yourself after.
I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.
