Baltimore. Met 2 models.
In Baltimore now for 2 weeks training. First flew to New York. On flight from NY to Baltimore, I sat next to 2 models going to a German catalog photo shoot. The model next to me said her life was not like that shown on Tyra Banks's show. It also was the smallest, most cramped plane we all had ever taken---maybe 8 rows of seats. "It isn't like on TV," she said, "or else we wouldn't be on this plane." ;p
She was my seatmate, very tall, black, and originally from Detroit. She started modelling right after college, when her friend had invited her to go to an agency. They hired her right away. Her first job was the J.C. Penney catalog.
Also, she and her friend were "plus-size models." They looked totally normal, healthy, and thin to me. I was shocked at what is considered "normal-sized."
