ALTER EGO
We once explored the psychotic symptoms of being a
fashionista within our featured title Obsessive Compulsive Fashionista. This time we address the many versions
of oneself. It is evident that a truly passionate model must
convey an adorable aura which may or may not be present within that person’s normal personality traits. So, the
passion for lights, camera, and attention draws you into the
moment, almost becoming the moment itself. It allows you
to transform into the role of the characters set fourth. Yes!
The truly passionate model has an alter ego because she/he
owns the moment.

Isn’t it ironic that our inner self drives us to fake moments
like these and other’s in life. However, it really doesn’t
matter if you fake it. The most important thing is how good
you are at faking it. For example, I myself have to access
who the people are I am working with on a daily basis
and in doing so, I am able to adapt according to any given
environment. Some might say I am a chameleon. Therefore,
I must adapt to a wide spectrum of not only people, but also
countries and language barriers. Yet, a picture is worth a
thousand worlds and on many different subjects people can
be reached, understood and judged according to pictures
they post. A picture is the universal language. A model faces
many challenges, particularly when posting things on the
internet that are far from who they may actually be offline. With a large percentage of these models either being
mothers now or having future plans to become a parent, the
things you post now may not necessarily reflect where you
are 3 to 5 years from now. Posting on social media is something that should be taken more seriously, consider branding
yourself in the most authentic and positive light with your
overall goal in mind. Posting only your work from modeling
will not solve the problem, but it will chop down the number
of people who assume you are someone you are not.
