Are we the same person? Born in Pittsburgh, moved, went to school in Philly (though I still live there and my degree is in anthropology).

My school also had AR up through 6th grade! Of course, I transferred in that final year but made it onto the plaque in the library and was so proud of myself.

Well, complete image buyout for web and catalog within the US is not that rare and sometimes not that expensive, it really depends on the client and the subject in the content (this is my experience as a professional model). With VS, I highly doubt their usage contract was less than 5 years. The worst I've seen so far…

Nope. I won't air all my dirty laundry, but I suffer from some pretty ugly mental illness and I have episodes of mania/rage where I can't even remember what I said to people because I'm so high from my mental state. Her statements remind me very much of myself when I'm riding the mental tilt-a-whirl.

In 2011 they booked Kate to do product photography, and then there was a lot of nasty commentary in the industry about her body after she walked the Beach Bunny show and one VS booker claimed they would never book her for the VS Fashion Show. The thing about product photography is that a lot of the styles are the same…

Ha, yes I suppose there are also a lot of easily impressed people on twitter. Don't get me wrong, she's gorgeous, but she has a really poor attitude coupled with the things she says.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. She has a surprisingly inflated ego for how irrelevant she is. She may be represented by IMG, but does being a reality television pseudo-celeb even impress anyone anymore?

She shot those images for VS, was paid, and VS owns those images, not her. I get that with their commentary about her why she would be angry that they're now using her images, but since VS OWNS those images, they certainly do NOT have to contact her before using them.

Ack! Yeah, I was airbrushing team logos on little kids all day in the direct sunlight, so while seeing the game was awesome, being covered in liquid makeup was not. However, I'll also be at Philly's Comic Con this weekend, so that should be interesting and maybe cool (I'm not sure what all vendors and artists will be…

I'll let you know when Geico settles with me how much some bruises, skinned knees and a broken right hand are worth, for future considerations (not that I would ever recommend being hit by a car).

I am also a redhead! No freckles, but alabaster skin. Do you have a particular brand you like?

AUGH it is of endless annoyance to me when I have to dodge cyclists on the sidewalk!

As someone who was actually struck by a car as a pedestrian, I hate seeing people try to run across the streets because being hit by a car is the least fun thing that ever happened to me. However I also think drivers in cities need to be extra prepared and careful, since they're the ones in giant hunks of metal, you…

I mean, they have to, the fakes are illegal to own, illegal to purchase. Anyway, unfortunately I can tell from the pull tab, the sides should be darker or lighter, not the same orange, and the tab itself shouldn't have any of that damage on it, since it should be made with palladium and that wouldn't happen.

Successfully managed to alienate three people in the course of one weekend. That's a new record for me. Also, I wore sunscreen (SPF 55) but still managed to get scorched working at the NCAA LAX Championships in Philly today. Ouch!

Ahh I live in Philly, where most everyone bikes, so to me hipsters biking around really isn't a symbol of gentrification (jogging strollers are), but I understand the frustration of sharing space with cyclists (both on roads and on sidewalks).

Sounds like it's just a pulled muscle, you should be able to feel if it's muscular pain or sub-muscular.

Carlotta is right that the best method is to take it into the store, but if it's fake they'll confiscate it from you because fake bags are illegal (you won't get in trouble, average people aren't expected to spot counterfeit products). I wouldn't bill myself as an expert but I know a lot about high end accessories/the…

I think it has something to do with adjusting the placement of everything down there? I don't know, occasionally I have to adjust my underwear or whatever but not in front of other people.

Speaking as an individual, you mean, since not all heterosexual men share your preferences. Beyond that, I don't wear heels to impress men, I wear them because I like going from 5'11" to 6'3" when I choose to (I don't wear anything above 4" outside of modeling, because I value my feet).
