  • Absolutely Captivating!!

    This podcast enthralled me from the very beginning. The stories were insane and it was really cool to get an inside look into the modeling world at the time of its peak. I remember growing up in the 80s and 90s when every girl wanted to be an actress or a model. This was a wild ride and definitely worth listening to.
