So you're telling me that modelling is a business?
and that people don't just fall out of bed looking REALLY, REALLY GOOD?

No fucking way!

Find it hard to have any sympathy for someone who's made a career out of posting vacuous crap to the internet, but good on her for getting out of it, I suppose.

Jeez using her white privilege to feed ego by luring in the countless white knight beta males.

The misandry is stupid

Babymechsays...

Well... not to be an edgy cynical teenager about this, but she's doing this while launching a new lifestyle site where she'll be telling her followers (and the new ones gained from this) about living every day as the essential you through vegan beauty and body positivism.

Don't get me wrong - I definitely think that that's better than her previous message... I just have a strong suspicion that her new message will still to a large extent also consist of vacuous crap on the internet.

I don't quite get the problem here, and I can't suffer through videos like this. Collect money, retire before you're 20, then do what you REALLY want to do for the next 80 years? Is that what she's doing I guess?

Babymechsays...

Well... collect money based off of feeding and preying on the insecurities and need for acceptance of children, by pretending that a coldly and carefully manufactured commercial image is actually a carefree and natural existence. I can understand if she thinks that (unwittingly) preying on children isn't something she can shrug off and say "that's done; now I'll do whatever I want."
