Romulo Pires
- Thread starter stersita
- Start date
Take top model from Brazil, Rômulo Pires, a onetime car mechanic with a Cinderella-like story who stumbled into modelling to become the face for Gucci, Valentino and Pepe Jeans, and works the catwalks for Chanel, Dior, Christian Lacroix and Jean Paul Gaultier.
While Brazilian model Pires says he works out a little when he puts on weight, eating disorders of the kind undermining the female model industry are unheard of with male models.
"Not having pimples is the most important thing," said 25-year-old Pires.
Bad skin, confirmed agency manager Cadiou-Diehl, was the prime health concern for male models. "We call them 'the pimply ones' and advise them to drink lots of water, eat vegetables and fish, and avoid fast food."
Their other cause for concern was poor pay, in comparison to women models, she said, making this probably the world's only profession where women earned more than men.
But Pires, who started modelling at 17 after being talent-spotted by a woman whose tyre he was changing, said life was not too bad. "I'm not rich, but I can afford most things I want now."

This photo, belonging to the 2005 Allessandro Dell´Acqua campaign, was posted by Vanezinha at Bellazon long ago, but it has never been posted here yet.
Maybe my favourite one. This is so EXCELLENT I have no proper words to describe...
"Do not seek the because. There is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions".
