(tw for beauty standards, exclusion, etc.)

I want to talk about the modeling industry and its severe need for diversity.

I'm someone who really enjoys watching runway models on YouTube, I like seeing the different clothes, walks, models, etc. I also really like fashion in general. But, for many reasons, the modeling industry is obviously really really messed up. There is a reason that's a lot worse than this one, but I dont feel comfortable talking about it, and also this fits my blog better.

Representation matters. It's important for everyone to feel seen, valued, and included. When the majority of models we see on the runways are thin, tall, able bodied, and predominantly white, it sends really harmful messages to people who don't fit into these narrow categories. It reinforces unrealistic beauty ideals and erases the beauty of diversity that exists in our world. This lack of diversity not only affects aspiring models who don't fit into the industry's limited mold but also has a significant impact on the self-esteem and body image of people who consume fashion media. It perpetuates the idea that only a certain type of person is worthy of being considered beautiful, which can be incredibly damaging to people who don't fit those standards.

I LOVE seeing disabled models, POC models, fat models, models with scars, etc.

"The industry isn't meant for *insert description here* people. It just doesn't work!" No. That is not true in the slightest! I have seen many fantastic models who are fat, disabled, etc.

We all wear clothes. And those clothes look just as good on minorities as they do on people who fit the beauty standard.

ALSO THE POSSIBILITES?? Models who use mobility aids just have double the opportunity to make a unique look. I want to see a design that incorporates the models mobility aid into it, makes it part of the art. Imagine a fashion show where designers create stunning garments that not only complement the model's mobility aid but also make it an integral part of the overall artistic vision. A beautifully designed dress that flows around a wheelchair, or a pair of stylish crutches that are adorned with intricate patterns and colors. The possibilities are endless, and the results would be truly breathtaking.

So sick of seeing “differently abled” in casting calls. I’m a disabled actor and model. Honor my lived reality instead of prioritizing your comfort.

Hi there, saw your post about disabled people in art, I'd love some refs so practice with if you don't mind sharing! My first step to tackling any new subjects is figure studies but I don't wanna go to Pinterest for something so often ill represented. Thanks in advance <3

My understanding, though I admit I am not an artist, is that the best way to learn to draw real life forms and figures once you've already got the basics is to find subjects in real life, and draw them. To this end, I would suggest finding a disabled model to sit for you, and paying them well for their time. I think it is the most disability justice oriented way to go about it, and I recommend it.

It is a common misconception that disabled people in the arts, particularly the visual and dramatic arts, are few and far between. If you are polite, earnest, and communicative about the pay, duration, accessibility of setting, purpose of the piece, etc. I do not see it being very difficult to find one. I would first find somebody who knows the ethics and means of how to go about asking and whatnot better than I do. Like don't start accosting disabled folks in the street or anything.

Alternatively, there are also quite a few disabled artists who primarily portray disabled bodies. Studying those works might be informative. I would suggest starting with the works of Riva Lehrer. Her self-portrait, 66 degrees, is maybe the most beautiful painting I've ever seen and my favorite to date. Talking to disabled artists, specifically those that also portray disabled bodies, might be enlightening.

Last but not least, there are plenty of disabled public figures who model or act professionally and thus have a large body of photography accessible online of them. I am a big fan of the model Aaron Rose Phillip. There are many Youtubers and tiktokers who are disabled and even limb different specifically and have that kind of purposeful visibility as well.

Hope that helps 🙏

So here's a good reason why representation matters...

I was feeling AWFUL at this moment, I thought I was going to faint or puke at any time. I was leaning against this table when I saw the girl in the middle photo... And she is also using forearm crutches just like me! Even though I felt terrible, I immediately perked up and was happy for the rest of my shopping experience because!! I saw someone like me!! As a Victoria's Secret model no less

Wah! When does inclusivity stop? Wah!

It stops when people who require mobility assistance no longer have to get up and school your ass.

Riva Lehrer, “Lynn Manning” (2007)

Artist’s catalogue and description available here

Lynn Manning was a martial artist, poet, and playwright who was blinded in his early 20s. A fantastic figure to explore if you haven’t already. He passed at the age of 60 in 2015.

In 2022, I had an estimated 129 medical appointments. Many times I had 5 appts a week, 3 in a day even.

Here is some of the necessary care I fought for all year but still can’t access:

❌ Surgery to address upper cervical instability and 2 bulging discs in my neck ❌ Physical therapy to address my thoracic pain (it took 13 months to get an MRI) and being unable to sit up for long, as well as for my right arm nerve abnormality. Every referral for PT was over an hour away. I can't sit up to drive that long anymore. They can send the disabled shuttle to pick me up, but that's actually even longer sitting up so it's not helpful. ❌ IV ketamine to manage my depression, C-PTSD, autoimmune disorders, and chronic pain (ended up going with at-home ketamine thanks to GFM donations, but IV would be better distribution for inflammation/pain) ❌An updated sleep study since it’s been nearly 10 years since my type 2 narcolepsy diagnosis and some of my other symptoms such as frequent painful myoclonus and choking in my sleep are now making it even harder to get consistent shut-eye ❌Disability benefits and Medicare as I’m now officially considered a “complex” case and have been dropped by doctors who didn't feel they could help me ❌Endometriosis excision surgery + getting my blood-filled ovarian cyst (red thing in photo) dealt with. After several months of going to multiple specialists to rule out other things, including cancer (being monitored for lymphoma/leukemia now), I was sent to a gynecological oncologist surgeon who does the complete wrong outdated terrible no good surgery. She wanted to just do a full hysterectomy and ablation of endo lesions. ❌An updated 1 year colonoscopy after my disastrous 2021 ulcerative colitis/endometriosis flare up that landed me in the hospital. My mesorectal lymph nodes are a little enlarged and there’s a mysterious lesion in my colon, which is why they sent me to a cancer doctor for bloodwork and PET scan—but I strongly believe it’s just endometriosis invading my bowels, which is why I need the endo surgery so bad as well. I'm at the point where my colon will completely go on strike and the pain from the constipation is ER-level (especially when my period from hell comes). It's also just dangerous. I've never had this problem so intensely before, so I'm being even more careful with food and supplements. ❌Pelvic floor physical therapy to help with debilitating pelvic pain caused by endometriosis and other things ❌ A pain management doctor who can prescribe me Tramadol, which helps keep me out of the ER every month, and that has minimal side effects. Something I’ve taken safely for 6 years with no complications. Instead, they'll only Rx Suboxone, which makes it hard to function and has side effects that can cause colitis or narcolepsy complications. I have to take 1/8 of a dose and I still pay for it later.

I had so many arguments with doctors to correct them when they brought up the wrong treatment, wrong surgery, etc. Not only did some of them already know it was bullshit, but others wouldn’t even try to have an open enough mind to keep learning past medical school.

This year was a lot of disappointment and frustration. I feel so worn down. This kind of medical trauma erodes hope and optimism. When intuition about our own bodies and the hours we put into research means nothing to medical professionals or insurance, it feels like we're at the end of the road. I wouldn’t wish the necessity for this kind of resilience on anyone. I wouldn’t have been able to withstand this year without the ketamine therapy or support from friends and followers. I cannot express what it means to have that, especially when I'm still pretty isolated day-to-day. To manage things on my own, I paid out of pocket for acupuncture, cryotherapy, red light therapy, ketamine, many new supplements, all kinds of new massage/trigger point/gua sha/acupressure tools. I went hard on a self-care/pain mgmt routine that I’m proud of, but I’m still very much disabled by persistent, impenetrable chronic pain/fatigue. I was thankfully able to get some prescriptions that help with flare ups, such as Xanax and Toradol. This is one of my many blessings in 2022. My fight is far from over but I want to go into 2023 with softness.

No more pushing through 16 appts per month while also forcing myself to constantly record and edit new content. I want to recline my floor chair and rest my back while I focus on editing older stuff. I have no idea how long it will take to get through my backlog of projects but I’m going to be putting certain things on hiatus so I can just take it slow.

Your support helps me afford my supplements and medication to keep managing my symptoms even when I'm not able to work that much.
