另一个29岁模特琳娜马鲁兰达上个月自杀，同样让人心碎的是最漂亮的海报女孩爱米诺也可能香消玉勋。

　　Most other people who work in the fashion industry (and there are exceptions, of course) treat these girls not only as if they have no brain, but as if they have no feelings。They look like aliens. But the truth

　　大多数时尚业的人都认为模特们不仅没大脑更没有感情——她们看起来像是火星人，可实际上她们只是凡人而已。

琳娜马鲁兰达

　　Because these young women look perfect, we think their lives must be perfect, too. But having seen many of these women close to, I would not want to be them. I can't tell you how many models I've seen arrive on set bruised from being beaten up by their boyfriends. They have everything, and nothing. Many models have learned to inject drugs between their toes, the only place that won't infuriate the stylist.

　　As well as being burdened by beauty, models are often hopelessly naive and under-educated: they embark on careers while still children.

　　因为这些年轻女孩看起来很完美，我们就认定她们的生活也应该是完美的。但是和她们近距离接触后，却不想成为她们。已经说不清有多少个模特被男友打的遍体鳞伤，她们什么都是，又什么都不是。

　　模特们学会在不影响走秀的脚趾间注射毒品。她们承受着由美丽给她们带来的负担，极其天真又缺少教育，她们懂得专注于自己事业，但她们还只是群孩子。

　　I had a letter from a father the other day. He told me his daughter is 13 and is always being approached by scouts from the big agencies. 'Should I let her model? She would be able to see the world, be independent, wear nice clothes, it could be a nice hobby until she decides what she wants to do.'

　　I told this father what I tell all parents: make sure she gets an education first, tell her to wait until she is 18 and then do your level best to talk her out of it.

　　有一天我接到位父亲的来信，他说13的女儿被星探公司发现，是否应该让她成为模特呢，她想去闯世界，想独立，想有漂亮衣服穿。尽管自己决定想做什么是个好习惯，但我奉劝这位父亲，就像我劝告所有父母的一样：务必首先要让孩子受到良好的教育，告诉她要等到18岁，然后尽其所能的使其远离这个行业。
