477.86 - 479.282 Unknown Speaker 1

Yes. How long did you live in Paris for?

Chapter 3: How did Lexi handle drama with Jesse?

561.669 - 572.635 Nick Viall

Honestly, it's like they feed you to the wolves. Yes. So you had an agency in Miami and then they were like, we want you to sign with someone in Paris. Like, go see this agency. Or were they like, you have a job there. Like, go.

0

572.655 - 595.264 Lexi Wood

I had an agency in Toronto. And then agents from all over the world would fly in and do like a casting with all the models that were in the agency. And then they would just sign you one by one if they liked you. So when I was younger, they signed me pretty much immediately in like Paris, New York, Germany, Miami, L.A., Yeah. That's funny. It was so fun.

595.284 - 595.825 Unknown Speaker 1

596.045 - 603.133 Lexi Wood

Well, I started at 11. I'm 27 now. Yeah. And then I started kind of doing like the traveling and moving out when I was 17. So 10 years ago.

0

604.165 - 621.15 Unknown Speaker 1

In the modeling industry, is there like certain like aspirations or goals of like, you know, I mean, you have, you know, the title supermodel. I don't know. I don't know if there's like this official stamp. I don't know who decides that. I don't know if it's like a label, but like, yeah, when you got into it, like what were, what were you hoping to get out of it?

621.21 - 628.472 Unknown Speaker 1

Obviously, you know, paychecks obviously can be nice and things like that. But what were your like biggest dreams when you got into modeling?

628.652 - 650.427 Lexi Wood

Well, it's funny because the paychecks, they are nice. But when I was like 18, I lived off $50 a week. And I literally in my model apartment, I slept in the kitchen with another model on like day beds. So it's the paychecks can be nice. But also you have to put in like a lot of hard work and you're living with strangers. And so it can also be kind of rough.

650.868 - 659.713 Lexi Wood

But my dreams were like Victoria's Secret Angel, Marc Jacobs campaigns, Sports Illustrated. And yeah.

659.894 - 661.934 Unknown Speaker 1

What's the job that you're most proud of booking?
