I am ok with plastic surgery...you do you. But there are risks...sometimes HUGE risks. Unless the surgeon messed up beyond the standard risks, then its just something for her to live with. I don't know if I feel "sorry" for her...but I do think its unfortunate for her that she felt like she had to have this surgery (and all the previous ones she obviously had). There is a nip/tuck for self esteem...and then there is body dysmorphia.

That is totally false. The only Instagram models who get paid more than real models are the ones who have celebs and pro athletes, fake promoters and fake photographers, and sugar daddies sliding into their inbox to offer them $$$$$ for something in return. That's actually kinda the whole point of being an Instagram model...

Just google the many stories online about how many rappers, pro ball players, married male celebs, etc. have gotten caught up with so-called Instagram models in the past few years. Trust me, these "Instagram models" aren't hooking up with all these rich and famous guys for free.

Yes, it is the evolution of high end escort/prostitution services.

Thank you for prefacing your post with the truth, so we'd know not to pay attention to the rest of it.

the three most highly ranked supers on social—Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevigne, and Gigi Hadid, in descending order—“are currently valued between $125,000 and $300,000 for a single post across their portfolio.

The next tier—very familiar faces like Karlie Kloss, Behati Prinsloo, and Miranda Kerr—can command between $25,000 to $50,000 for a single post across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, according to Spadafora.

If she were younger (say late teens, early 20s), I may have sympathetic thoughts regarding her situation. But at 32, nope, she should've been smart enough to know better.

Posts their "self-important" thoughts on C-D fishing for rep points and responses but aren't important enough to have anyone really care.

Love it! Seriously. LOL I would hug you for this. lol

Those are models despite being on Instagram.

The poster was referring to "Instagram models" those who only popularity and income revenue derives from it. They may become famous in other ways due to Instagram, but their popularity and income started on it. Gigi is a model who uses Instagram, not an "Instagram model."

Exactly. He's posting links about already established SUPER models and mainstream female celebrities who get paid on the side by advertisers and companies to have social media accounts. Big and obvious difference (which is why I didn't even respond to him).

Sometimes you just have to let people who think they know everything, think they know everything...if you know what I mean.
