| 0:00.0 | I was so shocked when people were telling me that in order to work I had to fix my face, |
| 0:09.0 | I found it was completely insane. |
| 0:11.0 | After about a decade or so modeling, you did eventually tire of it. What happened? |
| 0:18.0 | I wasn't a supermodel, so it wasn't worse the weight and the passivity, I think. |
| 0:24.8 | So if modeling the first time around felt passive, how would you describe it the second time around when you came back? |

| 1:47.6 | But through the magic of technology, we're connected for this episode of Inside Fashion on the B.O.F. podcast. Where exactly are you sitting today? I'm sitting on my bed in PIGAL. Okay. And is that normally where you |

| 2:04.8 | it was the only safe place where I'm sure that my son and his friends would not come in, |
