Turns out her modeling agency gave her an ultimatum “give up that tech stuff or we’ll drop you as a model”.

I find this sort of narrow minded thinking fascinating.  What are they thinking over there?

Anyway this reminds me of when I was an Opera singer at Oberlin (a small college outside of Cleveland.)  They absolutely insisted that I give up electroinic music and computers to stay focused on singing and Opera.

“You need third year Mozart counterpoint” they said.

Needless to say I told them where to put it and I haven’t looked back since. I was actually a card carrying union member at the time, but my career would have waited like - til I was 30 to take off.

By that time we were VC funded and I was famous already.
