I never saw this thread here before and figured I would come in and post my list of models and some brief notes on how nice they were/weren't or how they might interact with fans (or at least with me).
Alessandra Ambrosio (3x), Arlenis Sosa, Caroline Trentini, Chanel Iman (several times), Coco Rocha, Devon Aoki, Eniko Mihalik, Jessica Stam, Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn, Matt Egan, Petra Nemcova, Selita Ebanks (too many times) & Sessilee Lopez.
Of those, I'd have to say the nicest was Coco Rocha. I love her to death, she's so sweet to talk to and introduced me and my friends to both her mother and her husband, we had a nice conversation about something that had happened outside this past Met Gala that made me chuckle.
Alessandra is also very nice, the first time I met her was at the Met Gala as well, and I'm pretty sure she had a few sips she was hugging my friend and I while we asked her for pictures. Caroline was a sweetheart, Eniko was surprised I even knew who she was (in fact, I saw Behati Prinsloo in the same moment I saw Eniko, but didn't even call out for her attention) but she was very nice as well.
I had seen Jessica Stam a bunch of times before and taken pictures of people with her but never one with her on my own, she seemed a bit spaced but still pretty cool.
Jourdan is precious and super sweet, I had welcomed her back to the runway and she had this huge smile and said how great it was to be back again but how much she missed her baby. I was asking her to sign my i-D with her, Chanel, Arlenis & Sessilee on the cover and she actually tipped me off that Arlenis was on her way out so I could have the last signature I needed which was extra cool.
Selita's always nice, she's just really down to earth its super cool. Sessilee is quite a doll as well, when she saw I had my magazine she showed it off to her boyfriend and gave me a big hug, which made me laugh and I rambled to her about girls of color in the industry, very receptive and interactive.
I had literally spent all day telling my friends about Joan Smalls and when I met her she was kind of.. I guess shocked that people wanted pictures with her, but still not very responsive, her agent (at least that's who I think he was) was the one that was doing all of the talking when I congratulated her on her successful season.
Sigh, this hurts me the most to talk about. I love Chanel Iman to death but her 'nice' behavior is mostly faked at least from my point of view. For the past few years I've been like one of four fans that will be at the tents knowing that I'll have a chance to see her - she does stop and sign my magazines and take pictures but it just doesn't feel like a genuine/appreciative sort of nice. More like "let me do this so no one says bad things about me". So while yes, I do see the nice side like inside a Victoria's Secret store but outside, it seems forced. Ha, and to think I used to not believe the stories I heard about her attitude. She's still my favorite to look at though, I won't deny that.
I think that sums it up haha, I feel like I led a seminar or something.
