“Also
with
being
alternaGve,
there
are
so
many
different
types
of
alternaGve
modeling,”
she
explained.
“There's
pin-‐up
and
feGsh
as
well
as
many
other
styles.
I
o:en
get
told
that
I
do
not
have
enough
tamoos
to
be
desirable
enough
to
work
with.”
In
some
cases,
she
has
been
told
that
she
would
have
to
alter
her
appearance
to
be
accepted.
“I
even
got
told
by
a
magazine
we
like
to
have
our
ladies
with
a
bit
more
ink,
so
if
you're
willing
to
get
some
more
tamoos
we
will
publish
you”.
