“I can hear the heels hitting the floor,” another person criticized.
‘Stop hiring average looking nepo babies who can’t walk! “We need hungry unknown girls from developing countries who are AWESOME by nature,” said another fashion fan.
Someone else chimed in: “This is unfair to girls who don’t have famous parents.” This girl is not a model.
