When I was 18 and in college in NY I had friends in the modeling business. They thought I should model so I took photos and went to see agencies. At that time, when I was a brunette, I was told I was too ethnic looking. Boy, have things changed. I am now silver and ethnicity is no longer a thing ( even though I am not sure I look ethnic). I moved to Los Angeles and was told I should model. This time I was taken by local agencies and Major in New York. I so enjoy the collaboration with others as well as representing a vibrant , inspirational older model.
