Just viewers that are policing who is allowed to be in that space.

Yeah, who is a model.

But it's like, why do you, there's a reason you think the way that you think.

You are conditioned to believe in what a model is supposed to look like, how tall a model or how skinny a model is supposed to be.

Or I saw that lady, I forget her name, but does it matter?

She's on some podcast talking about how like, oh, well now the fashion scene is overrun by influencers.

Oh, my.

But it's like that with every industry.

First of all, if you are sitting here being like, back in my day, we had to work for it.

I feel bad for you.

There was a thing or two.

Also, the idea that any influencer, any, any influencer

wants to stay doing what they're doing and does not want to progress in their career at all.

Do you seriously think, you know what?

Like, I love what I do.

I love what I do.
