Although Dirty Sexy Things has already been revealing the pressures, challenges and struggles of the modelling industry, there are some amazing perks on offer.
For Charlotte it’s all about the pampering and travelling: “You get to do a lot of travelling and meet loads of different types of people. You also get pampered a lot, and who doesn’t like being pampered?” But does she get to keep the clothes? “In modelling, you either get paid in clothes or paid in money and I’d rather take the money. I’ve blagged a lot of jewellery on shoots as the designer will sometimes let you keep it if you promise to wear it at an event – but I never have. You do get the underwear they give you at shoots free though!”
As a model, ‘Commercial blonde bombshell’ Ariella appreciates being part of a creative vision: “For me it’s just so nice to become this live work of art. There is a team of maybe fifteen people; hair stylists, make up artists, assistants, lighting, the director, stylists for clothes, for the shoes and they’re all creating for the whole day and you’re in the centre and it’s your responsibility to carry that off and to me that’s the satisfaction. That’s the perk!”
As well as the financial rewards, Jessye B finds that modelling builds her character: “The money is great. I’m travelling to new places and I’m doing things most people my age wouldn’t get to experience. It builds character being a model. I recognise that I have a blessed life.”
And finally, the exotically named Ocean who has been dubbed the ‘kooky girl’ says: “Freedom is the biggest perk as you’re not stuck in the office and every day is different. You also get to do a lot of travelling and meet a lot of interesting people.”
