Tower Heist Mr. Hightower's Mistress. I lived in Melbourne, Florida, and started modeling in Miami when I was I went in for an open call and the agency wanted to sign me, and then I was working a lot, traveling a lot, and had really regular clients.
At the beginning there wasn't social media or anyone to have an opinion on who a client hired. I either got the job or I didn't, so I never really saw myself as not being the 'normal' kind of fashion model.
My parents made it clear to me I couldn't just float around and travel, I had to make a career out of it, so I had a very clear path. I had really great clients, and was constantly working. Then when Sports Illustrated put me on the map, news articles were talking about my body, which, at a young age, was really quite shocking. I was only 18 at the time.
It was a particularly low moment and I thought to myself, Why am I doing this? Then I opened some letters from fans my agency sent to me. I still get chills talking about it. All these women were thanking me and telling me about body image issues and eating disorders and how excited they were to see someone they could relate to in a magazine. Going through such mental struggles myself with all the criticism coming at me, and I felt like I could help other people.
I understood what other people were going through; I wanted to help women get through that. I talk about it all the time with friends and family, but I felt really alone going through that. Now, with social media, everyone is creating this brand for themselves and opening themselves up and I feel like I can relate to all these young women going through it: the pressures, the criticism.
Did your equestrian background prepare you for the ruthlessness of the industry? It helped me in the sense of ignoring little comments to my face, but when I saw critique in articles or blogs, generally online, it was harder. Critics are the loudest voices, always, even though they're usually not the majority.
When did that chatter start? Was it off the back of Sports Illustrated? It gave a model the opportunity to brand themselves before social media. I did Guess and Victoria's Secret at the same time, but because my name wasn't there no one really knew I did that. Sports Illustrated putting my name on the cover helped people understand who I was.
