Scoliosis and Modelling

Scoliosis. It's a spine thing that some days I think of resolving with a firm stomp to the back and maybe a gentle stomp to the neck. Which, I'm not sure how'd that make it straight but it seems like a good idea.

On a less stompy note, there's actually quite a successful model with scoliosis. Her name is Martha Hunt.

Thanks to pants that cover the hips, that hand at the waist and the slight lean with the shoulders, you don't even notice!

"I was informed that the surgery involved attaching hooks, wires, screws and two titanium rods to the curved parts of my spine. Then small pieces of bone would be put over my spine so that they would grow together with the spinal bone, fusing it into proper position.  I was told my spine would not end up being completely straight and we couldn't fix the rotation of the spine.  That would involve covering the entire spine with metal rods, and ultimately I would have no mobility in my back whatsoever."

It's pretty terrifying knowing Martha has all these metal hooks in her back to be honest. Thank a god for corsets- I mean braces.

Gosh darn it! Her hips are more normal than mine!

Victoria's Secret has announced their next show location -- Shanghai?

Last year Victoria's Secret held a fairly . . . alright show.

I'm just happy I found out who Grace Elizabeth is.

Since they plan their shows quite early, they sent Alessandra, Ming, Liu and Josephine over to open the first store in Shanghai with their fancy pink scissors.

I mean, just look at those scissors.

Then it was announced that they were holding the 2017 show in Shanghai.

It does explain a fair bit though.

I find this quite interesting. Obviously Liu and Ming are going to be walking (they're VS's tokens after all) and I honestly can't wait for, well, China's reaction.

Maybe they'll have four Chinese models walking (breaking VS records woot woot*).

*I have no idea if this 'record' has been broken before in, like, 2004 or something. I don't fact-check these posts sadly.
