When I post a selfie and someone comments, 'Oh, sure, go ahead and reclaim your sexuality, I got my rocks off,' that's not my problem.

I started modeling when I was - not older, but not 12. I have a mom who's a feminist, she's an English professor, an intellectual. She really gave me the equipment to understand that you can celebrate yourself without putting yourself down or needing to apologize for the way you look. I think that attitude is really crucial for a model.

A selfie is a sort of interesting way to reclaim the gaze, right? You're looking at yourself and taking a photo while looking at everyone.

I basically had the same body when I was 14 and that was weird. But I think I had really good parents. I got really lucky.

Being part of a patriarchal society, it kind of helped me figure out what I was all about.

I was born in London and lived there until I was five. We traveled a lot. But really San Diego is my hometown. It's where I went to high school.

I'm a young woman who lives in a world of social media; I'll post boring things too!
