Modelling, Girl Guilt and The Bell Jar with Lottie Aaron

1. A chat about fig trees and other things with my fellow roaming Aussie model gal pal Lotta! (TY 2 ‘The Bell Jar’ by Sylvia Plath)

Part of a lil assessment task required me to record an interview-style podcast. I roped in my fellow roaming Aussie model pal Lottie, and we sat down for a little kiki about a month ago. We chat about all things girl guilt, being lost, Fig trees, NYC and yep, modelling. Because we just love to talk about that (pause for recognising sarcasm).

Lottie (right) and I in Melbs

For context, I shared one of my favourite quotes from Sylvia Plath’s book ‘The Bell Jar‘ with Lottie recently. I knew it would hit her like it hits me. Right in the girl guilt guts.

The quote captures that paralysing feeling of indecision and anxiety about picking the right path or metaphorical fig for your life, knowing that choosing one, or none, means losing all the rest. This is particularly relevant to some of the modelling coded anxieties Lottie and I have bonded over as we’ve navigated our early 20’s together, very far away from home and in the very fickle fashion industry.

yours ggracelessy,
