Thats one of the harsh realities I learned early on about the modeling industry: ultimately, your body doesnt really belong to you. It belongs to the client. Since theyre paying, they figure they can do pretty much whatever they want to you. They can curl your hair, straighten it, dye it, cut it even shave it. Ive seen hair extensions being pulled out by the roots and smoke billowing out of flat irons while the hair inside gets singed and fried. Ive watched models squeeze their feet into shoes so small their feet literally bled, and Ive seen false eyelashes torn off so quickly that the natural lashes came off with them. Modeling may look glamorous on the outside, but believe me, beauty can be an ugly business.
