Picture Me: A Model's Diary (2010) Review

Sara Ziff chronicles her rise to modeling fame in Picture Me: A Model's Diary, starting at 18. Her then (current?) boyfriend Ole Schell started documenting her modeling efforts - the casting, the shows, the travel, and the parties - and five years later, it really became an extraordinary and intimate glimpse into the world of supermodels.
It is exactly Ziff's reputation as a successful model that gets other models to open up and share their experiences, about the stress and strain, about drug use and exploitation, about the pressure to be thin, and about life after modeling.
Two issues in particular really jumped out. First, these supermodels are really quite ordinary people when they are not working. Their hair is messed up, their skin is blotchy, they have good days and bad days, and they worry about their future. Second, you get a hint of a dark underbelly of the modeling world. These include the leeches that try to get photos of these models as they are changing, the alcohol and drug use associated with the parties and stress, constant smoking, the financial arrangements with their agencies, and the knowledge that, when they are replaced by younger, thinner models (as they all will be), their lack of an education means they will have to find a sugar daddy in order to maintain their way of life. In fact, you get hints throughout that things may be even worse than the film notes. What has been left out, that we can't be told until Ziff retires completely from this industry?
But how do you explain all this to a 14 or 16 year old from Russia, picked to be the next supermodel?
Tragic, enlightening, informative, and titillating... expect all of this from Picture Me: A Model's Diary, by Sara Ziff.
