LONDON : IN HER OWN WORD 2019
An introduction to London Andrews Part 6
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 6 of 12) At the age of 21, I made some very poor decisions for my modeling career. I was obsessed with exploring my sexuality on and off camera. I was partying heavily, drinking heavily, using drugs. I was disrespecting my body. While I was shooting in NYC, a magazine was sent to my house (I still do not know who sent it) - My Mom opened it. She called me crying, “Why would you have sex with someone on camera? What about our family? What did I do wrong as a mother? I am giving you an ultimatum…. stop modeling or move out!” - I know that I made some very crappy decisions, but…. I still felt that if was unfair to ask me to quit something I loved so much….. So. I moved out. I moved into my mustang convertible - I was determined to continue modeling. BUT I made a promise to myself to stop shooting content that was not kind to my body or my soul. I called my best friend in NYC and said, “I know that you are unhappy. Want to join me on a roadtrip? We might have to sleep in the car, but it will be an adventure!!” - So Matthew left everything he had. His apartment, his things, his life, his friends.. And we took off on this crazy journey across the US together. We rarely had money but we were happy. We counted pennies for gas sometimes. We camped and slept on couches and explored National Parks, swam in rivers, got lost in the deserts. We were like Thelma and Louise, except I was a naked model traveling around the US.
