One week of no drinking down, and I feel good about it. I even went to a bar last night (the bar/resto where I met the guy I'm seeing) and didn't have anything to drink. Why do people think I'm lonely because I went out by myself? I know people are just being polite asking me if I'd like to join them, but I just…

Sadly, it's rare for me to meet men who are truly appreciative of my intelligence. I'm lucky in that I am really attractive (tall, thin, symmetrical face, etc) and that the guy I'm currently seeing was more attracted to me being an anthropologist than a model, but I routinely experience men who are interested until…

I didn't notice any side effects from Biotin, but I do think that plus better nutrition in general helped me grow out a crazy haircut that I got at a hair show last June. I also found that good maintenance of my hair helped (regular trims and less use of heat tools) and I've heard that scalp massage will increase…

That's why I've been unable to watch that documentary. I just can't with the "skinny models are anorexic omggggg" faux-news. EDs don't impact just one size and shape of women, and depicting that constantly is so disingenuous and really only serves to reinforce the "pro-ana" attitude that an ED WILL make you thin.

Wait, so is his nightly smoking (which doesn't bother me at all, just curious here) possibly the reason my partner "never dreams"? That's fascinating, I've never heard of that effect before.

My advice is to get a new doctor. That's what I did when the doctor I saw continuously gave me shit about how slender I am for my height.

Agreed. As a model I've seen some serious bullshit, but I've also had the opportunity to work with many amazing people who care about the wellbeing of their industry colleagues.

Personally, anything with that cut I would accessorize with a gaudy cocktail ring on one hand and a simple bracelet on the other and small dangly earrings. The metal you pick depends on your coloration and the shade of red of the dress. Also, single sole pumps with a thin heel (no stacked heels or platforms, please),…

Right? I've never had anything done, even teeth bleaching, but I don't see how services a tanning salon offers could be considered plastic surgery, "cosmetic procedures" is a better term to encompass the whole range.

I'm sure there are! Most models I know just use a night cream and a moisturizer with sunscreen (though we each have our individual routines), I can't speak for anyone else since I never see them when they wake up/go to sleep.

I think that was supposed to be the number of procedures, not cost total. Plastic surgery numbers also include procedures like botox and laser hair removal, which cost waaaaay less than boob jobs and such. This breaks it down.

I work in the fashion industry, and I feel like most of us don't even spend that much time or money on our beauty routine. The only time my hair and make up take more than 10 minutes of application and 10 minutes of styling is when I'm on set (I'm a model) or when I'm going out somewhere and want to do something fancy.

Luckily Sunday only freaks out when you actually mess with her, she's normally very loving and has never snapped until after she gives clear "okay, leave me alone now" signs.

Basically just like my dog. That's my mom taunting her, and the subsequent Bitey Face.

Right? My biracial (quarter Onondaga), white-looking, Jewish self loves cream cheese. In fact, I love to dip sour dough pretzels in it even more than I love loading up my bagels with it!

True! I think it's more just that my social circle loooooves to go out for drinks as opposed to people being assholes about it, they're usually very supportive of healthy/money saving choices.

I would probably just leave phone number and email. I live in Philly and have my address on my resume, but I'm doing that so potential employers can see that I live right in Center City and wouldn't be commuting in from, say, the Main Line.

Thank you! I think I will be very glad at the end of the month as well, and it's great practice at self control (which I sorely need!).

I'm quitting drinking for a month. I spend too much money on alcohol, I don't need it to enjoy myself, and I get extremely upset very easily when I drink which makes my issues with depression/anxiety way worse. I also think having a short term period with an end goal won't make the social pressure to drink feel so…
