My casting director friends are a little freaked out because so many girls aren’t allowed to walk this season - now that the CFDA implemented some new model rules, they’re restricted to girls 17 and up.  I know that sounds ridiculous but in the modeling world that cuts out about 40% of the girls, especially for runway shows because they don’t pay as much (if anything), so the new girls are the ones who take the jobs.

Still, I think this is a major opportunity to go back to the models who are 25 - 30 - like KAREN ELSON! and Maggie Rizer, Alek Wek, Mariacarla, and my favorite, Devon Aoki. These models are even much MORE beautiful now that they’re older and past their skinny adolescent phase, and what’s wrong with women wanting to look like adults.
Seriously, that should have happened a long time ago.  I mean, I’ve been wearing brown eyeliner to try and look more mature since I was twelve.
