An Open Letter to All Models 'Bullying' Kendall Jenner

Hey everyone!

I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and saw a sponsored-type post about a struggling models letter to Kendall Jenner, and after reading it, I was left simply frustrated. (Here's the full letter --> An Open Letter To Kendall Jenner About Her Model 'Bullying') Overall, the letter wrote to express to Kendall the daily and total life struggle of an every day model working for a spot on the big runway, and how hard life can be for them. She points out how frustrating it can be to other models who have done so much to get a call and then get pushed aside for someone like Kendall, who (presumably) just walks in to whatever she wants and simply gets it because of her families fame and fortunes.

Here's my outlook on it all:

In many, many, many interviews Kendall has pointed out that modeling is her passion and her dream and something completely separate and singular from her sisters and the show, and that she wants her own light aside in the fashion industry. Not only did she say that, but she mentioned her struggle to be as successful has she has lately and how hard she has had to work for her spot on the runway.

Here are just a couple of interviews where Kendall expresses her journey to catwalk fame: ABC - Kendall Jenner Opens Up About Modeling, teenVogue - KJ in All of Her Up-and-Coming Mega Model Glory

This rant can be understandable, especially from my point of view because on a, most likely weekly basis, I get a bit annoyed with the 17-year-olds driving around in brand new Audi's and Mercedes' with no work to be done, while I'm working twelve hours a day to pay for my 2000 Lexus and a community college degree. Yeah, it sucks having to make your way to the top with no support and seeing other people walk into amazing opportunities with no understanding of appreciation and hard work because of their lucky birth rights, but that's life and life isn't fair. There's nothing you or anyone can do to change the individual life that each of us lead and no way to change our born fortunes. And neither I, nor any other opinionated less fortunate individual have the right to comment on the fortunate lives and presume that they don't understand the worth and don't apprecaite the things they are handed. We don't know them personally, do we?

But lets ask one thing - If writer Arisce Wanzer, wants Kendall to be so understanding of a per-say 'regular' models trek to success, and wants Kendall to see from their point of view, then maybe she should take a look from Kendall's, and try to be understanding of her life.

It isn't her fault she was born into fame and money and if she wasn't she is still beautiful and fit to be a model and would be a successful one, regardless of her fortunes. So I don't agree with this at all and I think it's completely ignorant.

What do you think?

VMA Style You DON'T Want to Miss

The VMA's are always a night that tends to be filled with celebrity drama -- I mean, what award show doesn't have some drama? But these celebrity red carpet looks are the type you definitely don't want to miss; from the major NO-NO's to the ultra rad looks that will never be forgotten, and some sexy attire that has hit the trend meter, check them out here:

Lets start off with Riff Raff & Katy Perry. This is a look the pair will certainly be remembered for throughout style history, as was Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's infamous look from the 2001 American Music Awards. They pulled off the look quite well, and even got Britney's approval.



This next look is one that I definitely feel could have been pulled off a bit better with someone who has a little more height. Kim Kardashian in this short, beaded dress looks too much like an oompah oomph (no offense Kim!). The dress itself is gorgeous, but she was showing too much cleavage and almost drowned in the largeness of the sleeves. She is already a very short, small woman as it is and this dress didn't help, especially paired with the high ankle heels, which resulted in her legs looking even shorter.



Jennifer Lopez looked absolutely stunning in her revealing Charbel Zoe gown. Looking younger than ever, she is in amazing shape and has no worry showing off a bit of skin!


Kendall Jenner looking amazing, as usual, in this Alon Livne mesh top and high waisted pant. Fabulous style is her second nature!


I was very impressed in Nick Jonas's unique suit, and of course had to add him into this post simply because of his fabulous Rhode Islander girlfriend, Olivia Culpo. Who couldn't love her!?
 

Ariana Grande channelled her inner sexy side in this tiny, leather Moschino dress (well, she is tiny) and her signature thigh high boots. She still looks adorable! (Don't forget to check out her new album My Everything, which just came out last night! Get it here --> http://smarturl.it/ArianaMyEvrythnDlxDA …   It's just as amazing as her xo)


Sarah Hyland looked unbelievably STUNNING in this Kaufmanfranco dress. This was absolutely my favorite look of the night.


To be honest, I didn't know Charli XCX was wearing a onesie or an outfit for a build-a-bear. Not impressed with this look at all, and don't expect many of you with fashion taste to love this look either.


Another look that had me gasping "No - no really, WHY" is Amber Rose. This is just way too revealing in the worst ways. She looks like a stripper, ready for the best performance of her life.


Solange Knowles looking gorgeous in H&M. From hair-to-toe, she rocks this look amazingly.



Both Jourdan Dunn and Victoria Justice (and the little bow ties on her heels- so cute!), wearing crop top pieces and long skirts, looked stunning in their ensembles. 

Although the entire night did seem like the Beyonce Music Awards, I give the woman some credit on her Press gown. She looked amazing (as usual).



A few moments of the night that can't be forgotten:
Nicki Minaj humping the floor with dancers to her new song, "Anaconda." If you haven't seen it yet, youtube it. It won't be hard to find.


Another moment created by the infamous Nicki Minaj was during her performance with Usher, as he knelt down and bumped his head against her butt during their performance.

And lets not forget about her wardrobe malfunction during her performance with Ariana Grande and Jessie J, where the zipper to the front of her dress broke and she had to hold it together the entire time.
Another memorable moment was made by Miley Cyrus. The crazy artist had her award accepted by a homeless artists by the name of Jesse, who made a speech about the numerous homeless teens and young people in LA who are aspiring artists, and encourage viewers to donate to giving them better lives.
