Mona Johannesson

Ok here's the rest of the interview.

How modeling has changed her view of beauty. She says that before she was a typical school girl, a bit insecure and a trend follower. Working in the fashionworld has taught her to see the beauy in "ugly" things and appreciate different aesthetics. She has developed a more refined taste, I guess. Pretty normal for anyone growing up and seeing a bit of the world. What is beauty? "Being natural". She laughs because it sounds so cliché but she really prefers a natural type of beauty and when someone's personality shines through.

She never felt the pressure to stay skinny because it hasn't been a problem for her, she's naturally thin and still eats whatever she likes without gaining weight (lol but I believe her actually). No one ever asked her to lose weight and she thinks she would've quit long ago if she had to fight to stay in shape. She says it might be different if you come from a less fortunate background and admits that eating disorders is a problem, but she's staying vry politically correct (and tbh I think she still pretty naive even though she's lived the model life), nothign new or interesting is said.

...

Two turning points in her life? One was when she fell off her horse three years ago and had to stay in bed for three or four weeks. It gave her time to really think about what she wanted to do with her life. And she feels like she's heading towards a turning point right now, she's still trying to figure out exactly what direction to take, maybe she'd even like to get a "normal" job (and keep the horses as a hobby I guess).

Mona is a planner and a listmaker. It used to freak her out when she wasn't on top of things, but modeling has taught her to take one day at the time. They'll call you the night before a job and tell you to jump on a plane, dates change all the time, etc. She still prefers to know what's happening, she'd plan six months ahead if she could lol, but being more spontaneous is probably a good thing.



THE END :flower:
 
Thanks a lot, myran! It was a very interesting interview... Despite I'd like to see her more often and everywhere it's nice to know she's enjoying her life now. She sounds so sweet (:
