Maleficent - Goth Beauty

The most important bit of advice I can give is to not let other people’s opinion get to you, or influence what you want to do with your life, which can be easier said than done and takes time. One of the most difficult things about modelling is to not compare yourself to other models or beat yourself up for not looking like the other girls you see on Instagram. The truth is, is that there is not one type of “perfect model” and everyone is different. You don’t have to look a certain way in order to be successful and in fact being unique will do you a lot of favours. Also, don’t take it too personally if you don’t have the “right look” for a specific photographer or agency, whilst some do have preferences for a certain look, there will be people out there that like yours, its just a case of finding them and figuring out what type of modelling is right for you. I’ve been turned down by several agencies for being too short, and whilst it can get me down sometimes I have to remind myself that it doesn’t make me less of a model than taller girls, and as a result I’ve focused more on building my career as a freelance model, rather than trying to pursue agency work.

Elizabeth

Hi I’m Elizabeth, I am a woman and a Latina, and also transgender, i am a triple minority. The struggles I endure in my journey make me a stronger kinder individual, with that I see everyone as equal and treat everyone the same never judge anyone by their looks. I am a fighter and will continue to fight everyday of my life to be myself. I want to help others in anyway I can, even if it’s just spreading positivity. Many people have put me down for who I am or didn’t think I had it in me, but I surprised them, I’m much stronger then they thought. One thing I have to say and hope you take after reading this is “Be kind to others and humble yourself, love yourself and remember everything is possible if you push yourself”.

What would be your advice to young girls who would like to start alt modeling career?

Just go for it!

1, Do not be fooled by these old men with money, who just want to see you naked.

2, Do not let anyone push your boundaries!

3, If you’re collaborating make it clear what you want from the shoot, how many edits you will get and always pick them.

4, Always trust your gut feeling.

Marie - live your passion fully

I even advise all women to do it, it helps to accept yourself.

I would say to these young girls to live their passion fully.

Being a model is not my job, but it's a passion that helps me today, even after 4 years of experience, to gain self-confidence. Everyone does not care about your measurements, if you have something to prove to yourself do it.

You know every woman has complexes and is never satisfied.

To all these women I want to say to them: You are beautiful.

You are strong. You can do it.

This is the advice that I would like to hear for me, it is always easier to give than to apply them.

Sid Vicious died on this day in 1979

February 2nd, 2017

To the New York City Police Department and Medical Examiner's Office, he was John Simon Ritchie, a 22-year-old Englishman under indictment for murder but now dead of a heroin overdose in a Greenwich Village apartment. To the rest of the world, he was Sid Vicious, former bassist for the notorious Sex Pistols and the living embodiment of everything punk rock stood for and against. His death, which likely came as a surprise to very few, came on this day in 1979.

In the present day, I've come a long way, I see transitioning just the same as everyone else, it's a growing process. Being the right gender means I can live life the way I've always wanted to live, like a woman, which means society also treats me differently.
