UK "supermodel" swaps modeling for "social activism"
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-35889917

How is this girl a supermodel? Her face looks really hideous, like I want to turn away immediately and not look at her. WNB.

Quote:Today she says she has mostly left the modelling work behind her, and instead divides her working life between her acting projects and her time running a social enterprise called Impossible.

Impossible is a website through which people can arrange to do a job for someone else for free. Part of the so-called gift or sharing economy, users can both request for something to be done, such as find someone to walk their dog, or offer a service, such as guitar lessons.

Quote:A steely Ms Cole, who also actively campaigns to promote the social enterprise model, and the need for all companies to improve their social and environmental impact, says she has no time for such critics.
"I wouldn't even bother giving them [the critics] my opinion," she says.

Emotional hamsterism at its worst. I hope she goes broke doing this venture, but she will probably be bailed out by beta bucks.

Quote:Although users who share their services do not have to pay Impossible any money, they have the option to pay a monthly subscription, which Ms Cole says is "a voluntary payment, so almost like a donation".
To encourage users to do this, subscribers get an Impossible email address, and free magazines.

Front page of the BBC unbelievable.

Dug into it a little deeper:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/03/25/...yers_cash/

Quote:It’s not unusual for wealthy celebrities, particularly in the fashion world, to support good causes or have whimsical hobbies. What makes Impossible.com highly unusual is that it received support from the taxpayer. And nobody seems quite sure why.

Lily Cole had a net worth of £7m when she applied for public funding for the website two years ago. The millionaire model received more funding than other applicants to the fund, while hundreds of applicants received nothing. Impossible.com went live in November, in a blaze of publicity. Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales declared his public support. Freud Communications took on the PR. Last week the site "launched" in the USA, with yet more publicity. It boasts a slick iPhone app.

However, four months on, the Impossible.com is a desolate and melancholy place. Few postings get any response at all. Even following very heavy media promotion, the site has failed to make an impact on social media either. It currently boasts just over 3,000 Twitter followers and 1,300 Facebook Likes. From the original grant of £200,000 that’s £66 per follower, or £150 per Like.

Wise use of 200,000 pounds in taxpayer money.

Fashion runway models aren't usually that hot. They're ideally a close hanger that won't over shadow the work of the designer. Remember most fashion designers are gay dudes and they're not hiring models because they want to bang them.

RE: UK "supermodel" swaps modeling for "social activism"
I was briefly dating a model who was also an "activist" and "campaigner" for various things there was a 100% chance she actually couldn't have given a fuck about in real life (given her actual character and personality) and was only using as a virtue signalling tool. All these types are the same. In this instance it looks more convincing to the layman because it's retroactive: "Oh I don't do *that* anymore, I'm all about *this* now", but they're all the same.

The article says she started modeling when she is 13 and is now 28. She is much too old to model now. She is hitting the wall. Face is getting fat so I am sure the rest of her is as well.

Whatever money she may have made is probably gone. This venture gets her name and face back in the public. Maybe somebody will pay a billion dollars for a company that encourages people to work for free?Undecided

The sad thing is she will probably make coin off of this.Dodgy

At 28 she made a smart career pivot. The looks department is fast fading, but virtue signaling is great pay and attention whoring if you can land it.

She looks like an alien, and she is aging horribly. She has an old woman's face already. I can only guess that this 'news piece' by the BBC is promotional filler out of desperation. Next.

When I saw the threat title, my first thought was "must be hitting the wall".

Then I looked at the photo and her age; and was stunned. 28? Looks like she hit the wall five or more years ago.

If she isn't married by now she is going to have a hard time finding anyone now.

Hahahahaha. No wonder she "swapped"; she's old for a model and she's not a top model. She's a dime a dozen. wNB more importantly. Also she looks like one of those lord of rings trolls.

I've banged much worse. If she could be pleasant and suck dick, I'd be all for it, at least for the notch.

Can users see who needs tasks to be done? It must be swamped with "do free shit for me" with very little "I will do free shit for you" unless it's white knights trying to take the long way to the bang.

She looks like that tall, awkward, gangly girl you laughed at when you were young, and still do.
And a potbelly too, my god. What a spectacle. Is this the UK average? Serious question.
