Ode to NYFW: Supermodel Beauty Secrets

I'm the short one.  
It's NewYorkFashionWeek!  I still get excited in Atlanta.  

As a former model agent in NY, I learned a thing or two from the most beautiful women in the world.  

In early 2000, I learned about juicing.  It was during the Atkins Diet craze which never made common sense to me.  Eat this hulking piece of meat covered in cheese, slathered in mayo, but don't touch the lettuce or tomato.  Carolyn Murphy was doing it so that meant everyone else in the fashion industry was too. She was hot then.  Still is.  Doubt she's still doing Atkins though.  

There was a model, I cant remember her name, but she and her mom were really into juicing and the NY Times did an article that featured them.  They were neurotic about it though which really turned me off.  They said you can't mix carrot with apple and this with that or it won't work.  Well, again, that just didn't make sense for my life.  I choked down carrot juices when I could find them and felt good about it.  I began to experiment with my own juices at home and came up with some decent options that were way more appealing than just carrot juice.  

During this time, I learned from the successful models that worked everyday, looked beautiful each of those and planned to for the next 20-40 years, a few secrets.  What did they do?

Sleep

Exercise

Eat Healthy 

Supplements.  Turmeric.  Zinc.  Collagen Boosters.  Chlorophyll.  Omega 7.  Plant Phytonutrient Supplements. Resveratrol.  

This was 8 years ago.  Today, I am sure they are taking the natural form of these as they are now readily available and so much more potent and easily absorbed in their true forms.

My last day at Next in 2005, Miranda Kerr was being brought over from our New Faces to meet the head of my board, Maria Cognata, who would take her to Victoria Secret stardom.  

Miranda stopped by GMA in February 2013 to talk about her favorite organic green juice which contained kale, cucumber, E3Live, lemon, celery, and aloe.  She said that the drink is very alkalizing and energizing and makes her feel good. 

I'll have what she's having.
