Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. DJ has slight wear and soiling. inscribed on title page. [8], 390, [2] p. As co-ed Emily pursues her fantasy of "Vogue" covers and cosmetic campaigns, her priorities change until the seamier side of the fashion industry--drugs, plastic surgery, eating disorders--becomes all too familiar territory, forcing her to make a choice between model and student. The 1980s: the age of Cindy, Naomi, and Claudia, the era of stirrups and spandex. Against this backdrop Midwestern teen Emily Woods plunges into the glamorous but grueling world of modeling. But Emily is more than just a small-town beauty with stars in her eyes: She's been accepted to Columbia University, and she's not about to let couture and klieg lights get in the way of an Ivy League education. Right. Emily tries to juggle it all but keeps dropping the ball: cramming new bikini poses instead of for finals; gaining the freshman fifteen and busting designer seams; spending more time with Clairol than Cicero. As Emily pursues her chic fantasy of Vogue covers and prestigious cosmetic campaigns, her priorities start to shift. In the ultra-competitive quest for supermodel fame and fortune, strutting off the runway to study Shakespeare might mean letting another pretty face snag her stilettos, and Emily's thisclose to getting a leg up on her dreams. Before long, the seamier side of the fashion industry cocaine and cads, collagen and implants, fad diets and eating disorders becomes close up and personal, making for one model student who's hardly exemplary and ultimately forcing a choice between style and substance. Dazzling, dramatic, and as real as it gets, Model Student shines a spotlight behind the scenes and reminds us why you can't judge a book by its cover girl. From an on-line posting "Robin Hazelwood was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A competitive swimmer for much of her childhood, Robin set state records and won regional championships, ultimately qualifying for the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Trials in the 100m Breaststroke. Robin started modeling her sophomore year of high school, first locally, then regionally. In the fall of 1988, Robin gained representation with a New York agency, the same period she entered the freshman class of Yale University. After graduation (BA, English, 1992), Robin modeled in Paris, Milan, Sydney and, most frequently, New York, where she was represented by Ice, Women, IMG, Next and Karin s. Clients Robin has worked for include: Bergdorf Goodman, Vera Wang, Glamour, Oil of Olay, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Self, Allure, Wella, Brooks Brothers, New York Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Liz Claiborne, Country Road, Australian Vogue, Redbook, McCall s, Bally s Fitness and L Oreal. In 1998, after more than fourteen years in the business, Robin quit modeling to attend the full time program at New York University s Stern School of Business. Upon completion of her MBA (Finance, 1999), Robin spent three years at LinkShare, an online marketing company, rising to the Senior Director of Marketing before leaving to pursue writing. In 2005, Robin sold the North American rights of Model Student to Crown Publishing. Model Student is now available wherever books are sold."
