This is a friend of mine Sophie. She is a model that works in London. What makes Sophie really cool in my mind is she has made a professional career of being a model and makeup artist and she has not let anything stand in her way of doing such including Cerebral palsy. She is one of the most informative models I have gotten to speak with. I had asked for advice when it came to photographer/model relationship while working together such as etiquette and things of that nature. She was most helpful and happy to answer my questions. We have also spoken on multiple occasions on problems dealing with people in the business when it came to her issues. She is an amazing woman and one tough individual to say the least.

Looks like a beautiful young lady, what a shame she felt the need to pierce the F out of her face. That one always escapes me.

Yeah I know what you mean, The type of modeling she does in the in the Goth field. Heavy metal bands and other things as such. You think the piercings are a trip you should she when she has color dreads to go with um.

Very pretty indeed. Wish I had a buddy like that.

Those her natural color eyes or lenses?

Very pretty lady. Like Paul I'm not big on excessive piercings.

The one that always turns me off no matter what is a ring through the septum. Having grown up in the country, I've put many hog rings in pig snouts to keep them from digging up the farm. Every time I see someone with a septum ring I think about the hogs running around the pen wallowing in mud and pig $hit.

Yep those are her natural eyes. About the only thing she wears that I know is fake is she does the colored dreads and makes her own.

I personally am not a big fan of piercings myself like you I am a country boy and that just don't float with me but. I think the bigger thing that gets me about Sophie is number one how sweet she is. She is one of the most down to earth models I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with. Number two to become a professional model having cerebral palsy. Could you imagine the hurdles in having to deal with people in a world or career where its all about the "Perfect Body". I know when she first started she was told "Do Not follow this dream of yours" You will not make it" You cant do it" You will fail because others will shoot you down" and this is just putting it very very mildly on how and the things she has been told.

Now, here it is today she is highly sought after as a professional model and as a makeup artist. Piercings or not I take my hat off to this young lady. She could have a piercing that shot through her butt hole and came out her forehead I wouldn't care one bit. She has taken time out of her day to help me in my photography venture before my stoke and partial blindness kicked me in the sack. I have spoken with other photography professionals like Scott Kelby, Trey Ratclif, Jared Polin, and there is an arrogance about them that I do not like not to mention the models OMG 10 fold I mean.

With Sophie never have I experienced arrogance from her. She has taken time to help me when ever I had asked for it even during breaks on her photo shoots. I think that is why in my mind other than my wife, She is one of the most beautiful women on this planet. 😰
