LONDON : IN HER OWN WORD 2019
An introduction to London Andrews Part 2
The following is a recreation of a series of posts London did back at the start of 2019, telling her story in her own words.
(Part 2 of 12) Around the time that I left for college, MySpace (hahaha… remember Myspace!?) was taking off. I put up a few photos that I had taken in highschool. A photographer saw them. He said “You should be a model” - I replied “I am too fat and ugly to model” (gosh it took me years to find self-love) And he said, “No. Really. You should model..! Check out this website called Suicide Girls, I think that you would be great for it!” - I checked it out and I was instantly inspired by the dozens of beautiful women that were pretty but not mainstream pretty…. And I thought, “I want to do that. I want to model like that!” - So I started taking photos of myself, on timer, in my dorm room. Hanging up wrinkled sheets as backgrounds. Posing with a sheet over the toilet (No joke, I sent that entire covered toilet set to SG asking them to accept me as a model… hahahaha… omg…. I even glued a few fake piercings to my face and Sharpie-markered tattoos on my body.. haha) I was 19 in these photos. (at Caledonia, New York)
