Quote

This is a tough and hotly competitive business, and it is particularly hard on women. Your ego is constantly on the line when your every mood, pound, and inch is scrutinized by experts every day. Part of the bargain is being exploited, misunderstood, and occasionally misled… It’s a unique business. In what other profession can you become successful because someone likes your looks, or smile or figure?
