Ta, Robyn. I knew someone who lived in a Model Apartment. I also know that when emerging designers make it to Fashion Week, they use unpaid black models. I've seen this with my own eyes.

Wow, this is all so deplorable. I can't even...

The industry can just use AI generated "models", as long as you don't go counting fingers and toes.

You still have to go to Mars to get three tits.

Which, by the way, is awesome.

Angela Bassett in "American Horror Story: Freakshow" libel!

I hope this law gets passed and signed.

What a horrific set of conditions. I had no idea, and I am glad I read this article.

This law needs to be federal!

Thank you Robyn, including for the update on the ever-admirable Beverly Johnson.

Damn! Dickens and DeSade in the 21st Century.

Go, Model Alliance! Thank you, Robyn!

Now I’m glad I’ve never watched an episode of “America’s Next Top Model.”

Terry Richardson git drummed out of the Upper East Side, moved to Woodstock and got run out of there. Moved to Roxbury and bought the house next to the radio station. Yes, I am doxxing him. Fuck him.

The problem is that so much of what relates to beauty and women in general falls under the Rush Limbaugh mentality, as he said about then student Sandra Fluke, who was testifying for women's health care- men seem to think sex and beauty are "owed" to them and that models should be grateful that men are even paying attention to them:

So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.

I'm so glad that gelatinous oily drug-addicted shitbird is still dead

No, he's been reincarnated as a cockroach.

Oh, wait - that was his last lifetime.

I modeled socks. On the radio.

The old "I have the face for radio and the voice for silent films"? Yeah, I get that.

Raccoon of Vengeance's avatar

I have dated a model. This totally checks.

Edith Prickly's avatar

This is long overdue. And I'll remind everyone that Fuckface von Clownstick ran a modelling agency for nearly 20 years and did pretty much every sketchy thing listed above.

Wookiee Monster's avatar

And liked to “inspect” the dressing rooms when they were filled with underage teens.

mvario's avatar

Not a model, but I did have my picture on 'W' back in the 80s. 🕺

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

edit: that was mean and I didn't really think about it

what's "W"?

mvario's avatar

Fashion weekly from the same company as WWD (Women's Wear Daily). And what I wrote should be "in", not "on". I was retail associate of the week back when I worked for Tahari.

Pisto75666-Radical Left Scum's avatar

Men's magazine. It was owned by JFK Jr.

mvario's avatar

That was 'George'. 'W' is the weekly from 'WWD'. Mostly fashion biz stuff.

"that was mean and I didn't really think about it"

I can’t believe America’s Next Top Model is still on. Good for this though

OT: It's called "protecting your resume"...

Frank Talk, Action Pundit!'s avatar

Speaking of egrets, I note ours are already wearing their Spring mating plumage!

The Wanderer's avatar

I approve. The equinox was two days ago. (calculates the number of loud Hawaiian shirts he can pack)

Viole Falusche's avatar

Spring is here! Spring is here!

Life is skittles and life is beer!

I think the loveliest time of the year is the Spring!

I do! Don't you? 'Course ya do!

Richard S's avatar

I note that the common pigeon (Columba livia) is an *introduced* species in North America, and as I recall, it's one of the few bird species NOT protected by any environmental legislation.....

Viole Falusche's avatar

Passenger pigeons would no doubt be protected nowadays if they weren't mysteriously extinct. I'm told they were quite edible!
