[olga_nick]

E model mgmt closed.. yes..
but Irina is not with MC2. that's a rumour.

also. check out sephora.com for some work she did for them a little while ago. it's just randomly all over the site.
for example,
1. on the right side pop-up when the front apge first loads
2. split

honey, that's not a runour. Irina is now with MC2. i have the access to MC2 girl portfolios... indeed. she is with them.

 

[olga_nick]

Okay, If you have access to portfolios, great, I won't argue your point. However, the fact remains Irina is not with them. They must be just using her name for their own purposes, which is not very nice, to say the least. Just shows how much of an agency they are. Hopefully this issue will resolve soon.
Irina is not with any modelling agency in New York at this time.

jackee is almost right. Irina is attending University of Toronto, but a small correction, she is studying full time.

 

[Gazillion]

^ i'm not an insider so i only believe what i see. but thanks for clearing that up. that certainly makes me dislike MC2 even more.

Why on earth would MC2 put her book up if she didn't sign with them? Unless there's some mistake, and that does happen every now and then... But I seriously doubt they're "using her name for their own purposes". What would they say to clients who want to book her? And it's not like she's some supermodel...

I don't know... ask them.

Aili asked:

Hi, I was wondering how hard is it to be a model, and do you sometimes get tired of it? What are the downsides to the business and how do you play it off against the advantages Thanks in advance Aili​

Irina replied:

It takes alot to be a model, more than I ever imagined when first getting into it although it is still not very dificult to do. As long as you are organized and energized about going to castings, about keeping up your looks and maintaining in good physical shape it will help you to feel optimistic about modeling. THe only challange I find in this industry is having to deal with so much emotionally, that being both the rejection and the admiration. Another difficulty is trying to always meet new people, to meet the right people, make sure you are known and seen by everyone.

There are so many more advantages that play against the downsides. Some of the few is the pampering, the attentiion, the treatment that we get as models, both in the studio and outside. The traveling is another MAJOR plus. How many teenagers out there get a chance to travel the world, experience different cultures, exlpore the variety of traditions and just live a life that's out of ordinary? Basically, I do it as a hobby therefore do not feel like I have to ever work. p.s. nu kak , dostatochno?

I got this from modelhommes, there was no source. X.X It's from the john vavatos ss07 show, though. If it gets taken down, sorry.
