Bottle Rocket

This goes out to all the firestarters who feel like they're losing their spark. The wild girls and boys who can make every photo look iconic. You see them in a campaign or on a catalogue and think "I want to be that chick." Unlike the glamazons from fashion's golden years, these young ones don't follow anyone's rules. They slouch, they smoke, they make ugly faces but they still look freaking awesome!

So I know that every now and then you hit a slump. Your agent isn't calling as much. Clients who used to be your biggest fans start to lose their enthusiasm for your antics. Your crazy personal life begins to wreak havoc on your career. And to make matters worse, your bank account is in the red. You're ready to give up and say f*ck this. A normal life with your family and friends back home is looking pretty good. The thing is... that's not what you really want.

Come on, kid. Life's tough, but you're tougher. You're the one others envy. They want what you have. All those billboards and tearsheets you've racked up. All the runways you've walked. You are one bad mutha-shut-yo-mouth! So man up, strap on your boots and start kickin' some ass again. Light it up!
