I’m writing this (in my trusty leather bound notebook) from the floor in a quiet corner I found backstage at the debut show for Whitley Kros. It amazes me that people think we models live a glamorous life. Not enough seats backstage, food for 20 people to feed 50, our heads of hair being back combed to painful, PAINFUL lengths, being interviewed for tv about things you’ve never even heard of….so what ya gonna do? LIE! and so many camera’s shoved in your face while hair and make-up is in progress that you can’t relax/pick your nose/sneeze or grimace with the pain!

All that said though as I stood in nothing but my nude thong surrounded by dressers, half a dozen gay men and wondering why I have no shoes to wear, I spotted my outfits and thought “hrmmm ok I wouldn’t buy them but this could work.”

I’ll be honest Whitley Kros is not my personal style, too much spandex, too many bright colours, think “Working Girl”(1980’s) but their clothes are fun and cute with some pieces I would love to grunge out.

Who knows maybe this label will really take off, it sure was fun to be in their first show. I’m curious to see where they’ll take us next season. Lord knows Marissa Ribisi (sister of Giovanni Ribisi) and Sophia Banks put together a great show, the next one can only be better again. And of course with Beck being Marissa’s “other half” the music was GREAT!
