Sooooooo
Recently I was asked by a friend of mine how I felt when guys hit on me. My answer was:
"WHAT THE HELL, GUYS HIT ON ME?!"
I don't notice it at all because I have better things to do than flatter some guys ego XDDD But this led my friend to ask me why I didn't get a boyfriend due to my job when I was 9-15.
I'll have to explain this to you guys.
From the ages of 9-15 I was a model for god knows how many magazines and fashion shows in and around London, I'm not paticularily "pretty", but (even if I do say so myself), I have killer legs and hips XD I got them from my father and am actually about....5'5/6 at the moment. I like them, but I also hate them sometimes because HEY teenage girl XD The thing is, I was told that I could do it professionally but I took the decision to stop instead. My Foster mother has never really forgiven me for that, but heeyyy, my life, my aspirations XD Instead I went straight from donning designer clothing for money, (even though I kinda have a few pieces that....never.....really....made it.....back....to the wardrobe..........), to wearing my Primark and TKMaxx clothing. I really couldn't be happier studying for my Cultural Anthropology degree and working towards one day being the curator of the Egyptology department in the British Musuem. My friend however, still thinks this is bollocks and that I should go back into modelling X_X.
I love her, really, I've known her since I was 5 and we are close, almost as close as I am to my younger siblings, but, speaking as a girl who was in all that, I don't see the appeal to "aspiring" to be a model. I wasn't allowed to sit on the sofa at home, watching Ashes To Ashes, (OMG DID YOU SEE THE FINALE LAST NIGHT?! I CRIED.....THERE IS ONLY ONE REMEDY FOR THAT, FANFICTION), and eating a cake that I made myself, I had to practice my Krav Mega, keeping my body fit and toned, and below 6 stone. I'm a healthy 6stone 9 ounces now, (that may not seem healthy to you, but our family is......cursed/blessed with a REALLY fast metabolism), while I do believe that those skills of Krav Mega and other training is actually worth it, I do not see the imperativeness behind it all. Really. Take Glee for example, love it or hate it, you have to admit, the Mercades character is GORGEOUS and confident in her body. In contrast I was 5 stone, 5'5 and really, horribly insecure. It actually gave me mental problems, (well that and the THC in the weed and pot that *cough* SOMEONE (ie the other models/people that lived below us) */cough* smoked near me all the damn time, I don't mind weed smokers, but for the love of god, tell me before you're going to light up next to me X_X), that I am never going to forget due to the fact that (a) I'm far to prideful to go to a therapist and (b) I'm getting over it my way.
I suppose my point here is, no matter what body type you are, or what age you are, or what job you had/have. It doesn't have to be a reflection on how you continue your life.
Oh, and incase you're wondering as to my reason for not dating the guy?
He didn't follow the S.I.R.E principal. XDDDDD
