Hi everyone! As always, thank you for taking moments out of your day to read works from Waterloo Road. I truly enjoy your comments and interactions with the works of art that I mold carefully to share with you all! I shared earlier this year about wanting to explore writing about the world of fashion and modeling a bit on this platform. I’m a firm believer in putting words to an experience. Words to worlds unseen. This unique experience of being a model is layered with many emotions, both tantalizing and haunting, yet lately, I have felt called to write about beauty and fashion in a way that picks apart carefully crafted illusions of perfection and aspiration to reveal something a bit closer to reality. This is a poem to kick off this new exploration. Thank you for reading. x
