TIPS FOR UNDERWEAR MODELS

Have you read about the Californian turned Czech dweller turned part-time New Yorker / fashionista jetsetter? Rachel Michaela has a great rants about “Underwear Models Behaving Badly”:

“If you’re a model, please do not tell the makeup artist, hair stylist or wardrobe stylist how to do their job. Would you tell the photographer how to light the shot?

On the shoot for Maxim today, one of the girls was an immature child. She was 20 or 21-years old but that didn’t stop her from throwing fits. She flat out refused to wear any of the underwear or bras that I brought.

Bad model trick #1: Trying to make something look bad so she won’t have to wear it. This girl said that she didn’t like “big underwear.” I had only thongs, no problem. She put each one on in succession, pulling them down so far that they were baggy across her crotch and looked like we were shooting porn, and she cried, “Uuuuugh…deez big!”

Bad model trick #2: Adjusting makeup/hair/clothing, the way that she thinks it looks best, after the crew finishes prepping you. I don’t care if you’re 15 or 50, if you’re working with a professional crew then acting like this is unprofessional.

And when I ask you to stop fidgeting with the chicken cutlets that we’re using to hype up your A-cups, stop fidgeting with them!“
