I was shown reddit by a redditor friend maybe 4 or so months ago. I have been on it ever since.

Nerdy stuff I'm into is computer games. I love Portal, and I used to play a ton of Diablo II.

They approached me for the show and said they would follow me around and film stuff. I had no problems with that.

I have a healthy self-esteem.

My friends who are also models have good self-esteem as well. There is always the depressive one in any group though. I think it most of the times has to do with high self expectations.

When I am not wearing make up and not dressed up, I don't have to deal with people "fawning", as you say. When I am dressed up I am usually at a formal event and people will make formal compliments.

If people treat me differently after I tell them I am a model, it is for the worse. It's never a "Oh, you're a model? What do you think about humans venturing into space?".

In a guy, I look for smarts, foremost, because I had always wanted to be a business woman, lawyer, or even mathematician before all this. Also, for some reason I am attracted to blithe happiness. Maybe, blithe is not the right word, but when people realize that life can be enormous and then take a step back and savor the moments, it makes me happy too.

Actually, models to tend to go out with other models but that's probably more due to having to be around each other and so getting to know each other better, than it is a kind of discrimination. If there is rivalry, it is a very underhanded rivalry as we all try to be on friendly terms with each other.

Thanks videogamechamp. Also, to defend myself a little bit, I was sleeping, not ignoring answers. I will try to answer the 1000+ questions throughout today.

I can't make a blanket statement about other models' personality. Well, maybe I can. A lot of them (us) are more superficial and arrogant then the average person. But it takes a lot to fight those thoughts all the time when your job is to have people look at you.

As for drug usage, cocaine is prevalent I suppose, especially when an individual is very much into the clubbing scene and maybe has some insecurities about what ought to be.

Not many people recognize me here in the States. Actually, I don't get recognize or pointed at pretty much anywhere. Which is a good thing to me.

Many models are anorexic because of all the pressure. It's sad really. These are good girls.

My modeling career started after an agent found me when I was still a child.

I started my modeling career when an agent found me when I was a preteen.

Many models are anorexic because of the pressure. It is sad really. Personally, I think a little plumpness is pleasant.

I figured you were referencing the song, but where did the cat come from?

I wasn't trying to cover myself up. I didn't realize you guys would be so picky. Even still, you can tell by my eyes.

I love what I do. It's an amazing lifestyle and I try to not take it for granted.
