Kate Moss Dressed Her Brother as a Girl
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models,
Kate Moss used to dress her brother up as girl. The 38-year-old supermodel says she's always been into fashion and as she didn't have a sister, she used to put her sibling Nick in her clothes and call him Sylvia.
"I definitely liked clothes. I used to dress my brother up in looks, as girls. His name was Sylvia. I used to dress him up and make him come to the door and knock and say, 'Is Kate coming out?' to my mum. I've got a picture of him. He had a beauty spot, fake boobs, and everything - very Liz Taylor. My brother didn't mind. He found the picture and framed it for me. 'Kate, Love always, Sylvia.'"
While Kate - who has 10-year-old daughter Lila Grace from a previous relationship and is married to Jamie Hince - enjoyed her childhood she says she always knew she wanted to get out of hometown Croydon, south London: "My brother still lives near there and he doesn't really go to pubs there, it's so rough. But it was quite fun growing up there because it is so rough. There's street stuff going on. Everyone used to hang out in parks and have fights and go to the cinema and have fights. Bit of fight culture in Croydon. I don't mind a fight. What I wanted to get out of was the whole thing of, this is it. This is what life is. I never had that feeling of, that's your lot."

Tyra Banks Was Bullied for Being Skinny
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models,
Tyra Banks was bullied at school because she was so thin.
The supermodel says she grew three inches and lost 30lbs in the space of three months when she was 11, which left her a target for bullies. The 38-year-old beauty said, "When I was 11 years old, I grew three inches and lost 30 pounds in three months. So I went from being a mean bully, cute little chubby little girl to shooting up, [weighing] 98 pounds and just looking sick and frail. I wasn't sick, but people thought there was something wrong with me. I was the brunt of every joke, every bad thing. I hated my reflection in the mirror. I would try to stuff food down my throat to gain weight."
And although Tyra has enjoyed a successful modeling career, she admits she still has some insecurities. "Even though I later gained weight and became a supermodel, that girl always lived inside of me and I know what that felt like. I start projecting images that I know make my 11-year-old self insecure," she told The Huffington Post Live.
