   Hey Models.com, why don’t you highlight some of the amazing minority models who have debuted in NYC to great success (Sessilee, Liu, Lakshmi, Arlenis, etc.) instead of perpetuating the white androids.

   Hey A,

   We’re not done with top newcomers! But just FYI, this is
   Sessilee’s 4th year as a model, she was my model of the week
   back in 2004, I believe. Also, Lakshmi, with Givenchy and Hermes
   campaigns under her belt, hardly qualifies her as a newcomer.

   But wait till you see who we have later today and to round out
   the week. Why are we perpetuating the white androids? We are just
   reporting on who did well… You should tell all the designers
   who booked all these girls that you feel this way. And aren’t you
   practicing a little reverse racism here? Making comments about
   these girls because they are white? And why are they androids?
   Just because they don’t look like Gisele Bundchen and her curves?
   Designers need girls who are beautiful canvases on which to drape
   their clothes. Do you consider Iris an android also because she
   talks in a very mellow way? She’s German and English is probably
   not her first language, people usually speak a little slower when
   it’s not their first language. Maybe she’s just a mellow person!
   Maybe she’s tired from Fashion Week!

   Also, Imogen and Eniko, 2 of the other newcomers are far from
   android like.

   She’s already covered an interview with arlenis a few months ago.
   even then there are still 6 slots left.

   iris is unusual but still every day girl and that
   is why i adore her look.

   she takes such a great pictures.

   as i was doing a post i was reaserching about her, and she
   seemed to me that she is really down on earth.
   she is really simple and hard working, not
   justa s a model but as a person.

   at leat it seemed thatw way from the interview i have read.

   I love the sound and quality of her voice, the slight accent, but there’s something very… I can’t put my finger on it really, but I do love the kind of quiet strength and gentleness she seems to have… at least that’s just what I got from the couple of videos I’ve seen, can’t really personally judge. ;)
