It occurs to me that every “shocking expose” or article about the modeling industry I have ever read – in the past 15 years – touches on one of the following 20 themes. See if you can come up with any I haven’t hit.
1) They don’t look like that in real life.
2) No. Really. EVERYTHING IS AIRBRUSHED.
3) Models consume very few calories compared to most people.
4) Models will order cheeseburgers when out with reporters to make #3 seem not true. In spite of this, models consume very few calories compared to most people.
5) Sometimes, models have eating disorders.
6) If you are young and beautiful, a lot of people will give you drugs. FOR FREE.
7) Models often look good in clothes that will not look good on you.
8) No matter how many times Kate Moss does drugs, she will be forgiven.
9) Sometimes beautiful young models date ugly, rich old men.
10) Everyone would like to work with Karl Lagerfeld
11) Models work in conditions of extreme heat or cold.
12) Sometimes, models are put in dangerous situations.
13) Models have parents.
14) Runways are hard to walk down, and slippery!
15) My goodness, photographers really can be creepy
16) Naomi Campbell seems to make shockingly bad decisions.
17) Models really don’t get paid that very much.
18) When she was growing up, everyone thought she was uuugggllllyyyy.
19) Cindy Crawford is [insert Cindy Crawford's age right now]
20) Modeling is not as glamorous as it is made out to be.

Jennifer, are you sure about #13?? I thought they were aliens…
Re #18, not just ugly, usually also a tomboy: this goes for new movie starlets as well as models. Interestingly, I have yet to see a staright male model or actor claim he was a total girl’s blouse at school…
Cindy Crawford is 44. *Insert gasps*
Most models are pre-pubescent. Those that “develop” are forced to retire, and many others starve themselves to maintain the body they had at 12. If somebody wanted to start their modeling career at say, 20, they would likely be too old.
