MOTHER MODEL ADVICE

On wednesday this week i was introduced to Mary, the founder/scout of Mother Model Management. Not only does she have one of the best eyes in the industry, blessing the world with Karlie Kloss and Ashton Kutcher(along with many others), but she is kind, down to earth and after reading her website provides expert advice on life. Heres an excerpt that i found inspiring….

“Today we live in a SENSATIONALISED SOCIETY, one that consumes reality television shows with over the top characters, with little to no regard for other people. We also live in an INSTANT SOCIETY, people like to believe they can achieve things quickly and with little effort as possible, preferably on their own terms. The combination of these two trends are contributing to what we find a disturbing new issue for all the aspiring models out there.”

We Are Here

From land of palm-trees to the far-off land of snow,
We shall be coming with our torment and our woe,
And wherever our blood was shed in pain
Our strength and courage shall spring forth once again.

We’ll have the morning sun to set our day a-glow,
And all our yesterdays shall vanish with the foe,
And if the time is long before the sun appears
Then let this song go like a signal through the years.

This song was written with our blood and not with pen;
It’s not a song that summer birds sing overhead,
It was a people among toppling barricades,
That sang this song of ours with guns in their hands.

Never say that there is only death for you,
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue,
Because the hour we have hungered for is near;
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble,
We are here!

—— Hirsh Glick(1922-1944)
