Lara Stone — The Anti Model

Quotes:
“Being sexy is something inside, and not everybody has it.”
“Every time I go to the dentist they say, ‘You really need to fix that gap of yours’. I’m like, ‘My gap is paying your dentist bills.’”
“If I had to model clothes in a time period other than the 21st century, I think I’d like to model way back when they just wore skin loincloths. That would be best suited for me — better than corsets. I’m quite claustrophobic.”
“I think men look best when they’re dressed in something that makes them feel comfortable.”
