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.

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
