A Models Perspective...

In the new issue of Lipstick Royalty you'l all (hopefully!) be reading on December 15th we have our fashion editor Amy interviewing an alternative model with a twist - Ulorin Vex.

I've just been reading through the interview for the first time and I was like jumping up and down with happiness when i read this passage...


"Finally, when I told her about Editor Rachel’s “Who Wants To Be Size Zero Anyway?” campaign, she wondered whether people understand that what they see in most magazines (we are proud to count ourselves out of this!) is often not actually real. “It's amazing what a difference professional hair/makeup and good lighting makes.” She told me, and to be honest, I think she’s right; more than that, even, many photo-shoots are airbrushed to make people look better than they really do. Despite the fact that she’s a model, and that she believes this, though, she still has things that she wants to change about her appearance, just like the rest of us. “I've learned to be happy with what I have, if you can't change it there's no point in stressing about it.” Very true. Very true indeed."


Hear that ladies? We have it straight from the models mouth... WHAT WE SEE IN MAGAZINES (except Lipstick Royalty of course!) IS NOT REAL.

Who wants to look like they were made out of highly polished plastic?

Who Wants To Be A Size Zero Anyway?
