Back in the Day…

From Wild Things by Douglas Perrett. Take a look at some of the first polaroids of a make-up free Rosie, Candice, Miranda et al, when they were just starting out in the modelling world. Can you imagine that these wide-eyed young girls would go on to become some of the world’s most bankable models?

Certainly the casting directors clearly had no idea- their comments below indicate how nonplused they were, although some of their first impressions are positive.

On Miranda: “She would always do her castings with her blonde friend, another Aussie who would always get the job. 

On Rosie: “Upbeat character, she seemed to have her eye on the big picture.”

On Candice: Didn’t like her; Found her very Barbie-like.”

On Liu Wen: “Professional, in and out. Class act.”

On Arizona: “Didn’t get at first; Her hair, her face.”

On Chanel: “Realized how young these kids are. She needed a hug that day.”

On Abbey-Lee: “They kept sending her over to hang out. I wasn’t sure why, neither was she.”
