hmmmm, phony people in the modeling business? who would have ever thought?!?!
seriously though, there's assholes no matter where you work, you just gotta branch out when you're not actually getting your picture taken.
I mean, if you can't find some cool people in New York, you're not gonna find them anywhere.

exactly, but you kinda have to expect phony people to be in the modeling business. Its a highly competitive and prestigious job for girls in America. Figure 10 million 18-21 year old girls fighting for 25,000 good/great paying postions. And from what I hear its not that stable of a job, they judge on performance/the way you look and then you hope for a phone call. Some girls cheat, steal, and kill just to get where you are Jeanie.
So, being sympathetic is not a common trait among models.
If you've seen "Zoolander" that basically sums it up. X-D

Awwww, Jeanie I wish I could give you a hug right now.
It seems like we all go through our cycles - up one minute, down another, then back up again. It doesn't matter where you are in life or what you're doing - you could be living out your dream job - but there are internal and external forces always tugging at you from all directions, trying to wear you out and drag you down.
Hang in there!!

Truer words were never spoken. I felt absolutely miserable for the past couple weeks regarding school and my career options. Thankfully I seem to have gotten my head back on track. Usually these things work themselves out, but you always need to be listening close to what your heart is telling you.
I'd also really love to be in the music industry in some way, shape, or form, but I know to have a stable and prosperous life, I need to get on with what I'm doing.
Just means we all need to keep grounded in our friends, family, and the things we love doing when we're not working our asses off trying to put money in the bank.

Stash, Whirly, Bosco, Darkstar are absolutely right...
Somedays u are up and some u are down but the main thing is to try and make the most of every situation and focus on the positives. Even though the people u have to mix with can be total fucktards and I can imagine that being modelling cant be very stimulating at times, you have a job where there is alot of oppurtunity to work, make good money and see the world.... And thats amazing!
In any industry you work in, there are going to be fuckers. You just gotta ingnore them and thank god that you're not like that and just laugh at them!
Chin up chicken! NY is a wicked city and i'm sure you'll meet some equally wicked people soon

Hey Jeanie, dunno if this helps but I'm feeling pretty crap this week also. This week I've sat at a desk on my own serving people who around half of them are fucking ignorant, I've had people interupting me whilst I'm talking to them, people trying to butt in when I'm serving someone else and very little appreciation. It makes you lose your faith in people. Today there's been a few problems at Leeds with trains being cancelled and running late so I've been getting blamed for stuff that's not my fault. Ultimately though, in customer service (as some others on here will know) its considered part of the job. In the end all you can do is do the job the best you can and enjoy the money when it comes round!
*thinks hard for more advice but can't think of anything else so gives Jeanie a hug instead*

You guys are so sweet.
I know i'm lucky with my job - i know most of my friend would like to change their jobs with mine....and Marsh , i'm sorry to hear that. I felt bad for moaning while most of us have the same shit as me !!
I just felt frustrated and alone but i feel so much better...also because i have so much jobs confirmed and work is going well at the moment.
*Gives ya'll a big hugg*

Thats ok.
Yesterday was quite funny in the end cos I went straight to this pub where my mates were and sat in there for a couple of hours. They had come in the car but there wasn't any room for me on the way back so I walked home (about 4 miles) and dya know what? I felt a lot better for it. I put some Exit Planet Dust onto my mp3 player the day before so I just put my earphones on and started walking!
kling....klong... :D

Going for walks is SO therapeutic. Went walking in the park and along the riverside the other day with a couple friends. Just chatting, enjoying the weather (only -10 C !!! yay!!!), photographing some graffiti, and binging on Nicorette. The most relaxed I've been at home in quite a while.

I'd love to visit New York again! It would be cool to see it now that I'm older, getting a different perspective and all. But yeah, if New York's still a great place to buy shoes then I'm all over it. ;)
Plus hanging with the Jeanie. It wouldn't get any cooler than that!
