First of the super-models


This is Gia Caranji - she maybe started off the whole supermodel thing. She started in the seeming film script way of being spotted by a fashion photographer who saw what was almost an amateur photographers casual shot. She rewrote the way models lived and worked. Drugs, partying, lesbian lifestyle - all was turned on its head. She had the world at her feet - but miskicked it.
Doubtless, some will say she was just a good looking girl who got lucky. But, when you read what happened to her, it was anything but lucky. That original exposure set her off down a path of self-harm and hurt. Whether she was manipulated or just a foolish female who could not handle success does not really matter; the two feed off each other. She was someone who had looks and understood modelling. For what my opinion is worth, I think she should be better known and remembered. As someone who failed or someone who succeeded - I care not. Just remembered.
