Campside Media.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Thanks for coming back. Everyone to Model Wars Episode nine,
a production of iHeart Podcasts and Campside Media. I'm Vanessa Grigoriatis.
So this episode we're talking to some of the women
that we interviewed for this podcast, like Susie Sugarman. She
was a model booker for a long time and she's
(00:46):
got a terrific personality. You'll hear her talk about kamoral
Lee Simmons, who is the model who is married to
Russell Simmons. She'll also talk about Carla Brunei, the model
who was later married to Nicholas Sarkozy, president of France.
So Susie specialized in booking models for catalogs, which were
(01:07):
big business back in the day, obviously back when catalogs
still came in the mail and that's how we bought
close instead of on the internet. So listen in to
my interview with Susie. What were some of the catalogs
you were working with and like how much were the
models getting waited?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Just to give you an example of how I created
this and this is why you know, Paul will tell
you like that I was one of the best catalog
bookers in the industry. I would go home to my
doorman building, and every floor I think it had twenty
something floors. I literally would go to the garbage of
every single floor where they had like the recycling bin,
(01:48):
and I collected every catalog that ever existed, and I
would lug the catalogs to work every day, and I
started pounding the phones to every single catalog and saying, like,
who does your ca how can I you know? Where
do I go?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
And what were some of them, like Delia's or.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
We're talking like so many department stores, like Macy's had
stores in like the Midwest. They had it in the
you know, San Francisco, they had it in Atlanta, they
had it in Florida. You know, it wasn't just a
New York market. And like nord Strums and mem and
Marcus and J. C. Penny and then there was Riches,
(02:28):
which was a big department store, and god, there was
so many more stores back in those days. They paid
very like a lot of them paid super well in
the nineties. I mean, girls were like, on average, like
a low rate would be you know, fifteen hundred to
two thousand a day, and then certain girls you could
(02:50):
get up to like maybe thirty five hundred, you know,
or higher it depending on if they were like a star.
Back in those days, there was no computers, right, and
there was no like cell phones, so it was a
very different time. But I'm telling I tell young people now,
it worked so much better than it works now because
(03:12):
nobody relied on like a text, No one relied on
a you know, on an email. We didn't have that.
So the models actually had to get rolls of quarters
and go to every corner and call in every hour
on the hour to the agency to make sure that
they are not missing.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
A casting and so like who in the time you
were in with it, you know, who were the top ones.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Girls found out about Paul because he literally was known
to have like polaroids of girls and submit them to magazines.
Like he's literally had a girl in a polaroid and
then put on the cover of a magazine.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And were you ever like intimidated by them? Like these
beautiful tall you know, blah blah bla, Like you go
to a nightclub to get all.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
That because all like the club owners loved me, Like everybody,
like you know, knew who I was and they knew
I was coming with the girls.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well, but what's the point of having the models at
the party like this is? I think what people don't
quite understand. It's basically just to make the room look.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Like what's the twofold answer. Back in the nineties, we
needed to bond with our models, and the way you
bonded with your models were like going to dinner, going
out this way. They felt close to their booker and
they weren't looking to like jump to another agency. For
(04:39):
the promoters, of course, if you have models in a
place like, you're going to get the spenders to come
and you know, drop a lot of money buying bottles
or I mean, it's the oldest you know story in
the book, right. I don't remember sneaking anybody in myself,
but I know that back then people didn't even look
(05:00):
twice if like younger girls were coming in you know.
Of course that stopped over the years, but yeah, I
mean I've been to like clubs where I see one
of my seventeen year olds, you know, like asking me
if I wanted to like have champagne at her table.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I was like, what what made it kind of different
than those other agencies like Click and for How would
you describe it as different?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
We were like a real boutique agency, and like Paul
and Omar were magic, like they were these two young guys.
Models actually came into the agency and that's what made
it Models such a wonderful agency because we welcomed our
models to come in because sometimes a lot of girls
didn't have places to go in between castings. So like
(05:47):
there were certain agencies that like didn't want their models
to come in. There was certain agencies that are like, no,
we don't bother us. But we were like a big
family and we welcomed the girls and they would come
in and they would bring us coffee and they would
bring us cookies, and we really became like a family.
And that was really due to Paul Fisher because he
(06:08):
really encouraged like us to have the relationships with the
girls and the girls to have the relationship with us.
Paul had represented Naomi in La, We had Kimura, Carla Bruni.
I'm trying to remember like some of the girls that
were just you know, Oh, we had Jade who married
(06:32):
Matt Lower. Her real name was Annette, but her model
name is Jade. Everybody was concentrating on the stars quote
unquote stars, but you have all these models that need
to work every day, they need to pay their bills.
I've never been intimidated. I love the girls. They were
like my sisters. I'm still close with, like pretty much
(06:55):
every girl I've ever represented in all these years, especially
a lot of the girls from Models Days are still
like my family. I consider them family. I mean, you know,
you get what you give.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Right now, we're going to talk to someone you've met
in earlier episodes. Kara Young. She's the model who was
(07:31):
super hot in the nineties and she lived in this
amazing loft in Soho with a guy named Sante Drazzio.
He was a very well known fashion photographer. They were
good friends with Paul and Caara was modeling for everyone.
Here's Kara tell us where you grew up and when
(07:55):
you started being a model.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I was born in San Francisco, California. My parents are
from the South. My mom was from North Carolina and
my father is from Texas and he was.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
In the military and they met.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Her mother lived out there, so they moved up there.
So I grew up in San Francisco until I was
Before I was ten, I moved to the East Bay
and I started There was a contest called Look of
the Year that a lot of girls started modeling from.
But I didn't place at all. I was just one
of the random contestants. And this girl that I worked
(08:34):
in the shoe store with her mother said, oh, you
guys should enter this contest. You should be models, and
da da da da, and she entered us in this contest.
And then I actually started modeling from that. So, like
four years ago, this girl contacted me on Instagram and
she says, you're not the car young that worked in
(08:56):
San Valley mall though, right, I go, yeah, I am,
I said, I remember you. Your mom, you know, helped
us start modelish so worked out a bit better for
you than it did myself. But yeah, So I started
in San Francisco, and then I moved to Los Angeles
when I was a teenager with a boyfriend. And then
(09:16):
I moved to New York. I went to Paris and
Milan in New York, all of those places I decided
to go to for six months. But I'm still in
New York, you know, thirty years later.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I mean San Francisco, I assume was pretty small potatoes.
But what was la modeling scene like then? When how
old were you when you moved there.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
So I was a teenager. I was just out of
high school, and it was it was you know, you
you worked pretty consistently in Los Angeles, Like I worked
there and I became like myself and the Scroll, Paula
Barbieri and a bunch of girls started becoming really regular
(09:59):
you know, models and doing everything that they had to
offer there. It was consisted of a lot of commercials,
a lot of a lot of TV little little appearances,
a lot of commercials, a lot of uh, you know,
print like everyday Broadway, may Company, Macy's things like that.
(10:20):
In the Nordstrums we did a lot of So it
was just very catalog nothing. You know.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
There was La Style.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
If you got into La Style, you thought that you
were like a supermodel, you know, if you got into
that magazine. So that's how that's the level that it
was there.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And was there a sense of like you got to
get to New York or you got to get to
Paris or what were people saying?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
So if there, momling was always about people finding you.
There was always scouts. Like even when I which Japan
rum is really young, it was a scout came over
and said, oh you should go to Japan, I think
you'd work there. So when I was in Los Angeles,
the same thing happened to me. A scout's like, what
(11:03):
why are you here doing jello commercials and working for
you know, the main company. Why would you? Why don't
you come to New York where you could you know,
be a big model. And they said, do you just
want to do this until you're thirty years old? And
I was like nineteen, and I said, oh my god,
you think I'll work until I was thirty. I thought
(11:26):
that was like such a compliment, because that's how we were,
you know, back then, that's what you thought.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What about your heritage, descent, ethnicity, being black? Were you
bookable from the time you were young, or were you
hearing people say, you know, we don't we only have
a slot for one girl like that or something like that.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
It's you know, I mean, I was my father's white,
my mother's black, So I always was identified, you know
with I mean, I did it as black person. But
I don't negate my father's role in my life or
my upbringing from him or his heritage. In the slightest way.
I'm very happy my parents got married before it was
(12:12):
legal and it was a statement of racial unity. So
I'll never negate what I am. I know that I
looked different, but other people and everyone always said that.
Everyone always said, even when I was a teenager, or
you look different, what are you? Where are you from?
What are you? What are you? And so I think
that I came into play during a time that people
(12:35):
started to be intrigued with girls who looked more unique.
Was there issues of it? Of course there were. There
was times that they tried to pay us less money.
There was times that there was a time that I
would do two pictures and other girls would do ten,
and that's fine. But then there was a shift in
(12:56):
our business where we started to do just as much
my That's how it was my interpretation. I remember doing
a job with just myself, the DJ, this really big
model at the time, and yeah, asmin Gari and I
was like, whoa is this is crazy? Remember when weed
we like looked at each other. Remember we used to
barely do anything that we're doing everything?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So yeah, what about uh sante? You guys had a
loft that was called Plato's retreat? Is that true?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yes, we did. We didn't know.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I mean, obviously, when people see things about your behind
your back, which is I'm perfectly comfortable with. I don't
talk amongst yourselves. I don't need to hear everything. But uh,
Stephen Mazell called it Plato's retreat, and we heard I
heard about that later on, you know that he was saying.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
He would say, oh, did you.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Guys go to Plato's retreat this weekend? And it was
just funny, you know, And it was.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Just a big loft that had, like you guys had
lots of parties.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
For me, he lived there with his other girlfriends. So
he's never not had that loft, you know. He's had
that loft since I was in high school. So it
continues to be there. I don't know what goes on
there now, but I changed it when I had a child.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I changed it and I cleared everybody out.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
I was like the big party pooper.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And so for you, how did things change as your
career went on where you said, like, I want to
cover of this magazine, No, I want to be Victoria's secret.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I met this photographer, Wayne Maser, who's a great photographer,
and he said, we were doing these pictures and I
just come to New York and I didn't even think
I lived there yet, but I did. And he said,
did you ever think that you'd be doing beauty for
American Vogue? And I said, yes, I did. That's why
(14:50):
I came here. I didn't come here to do more catalogs.
And so it was a very big deal for me,
and I was very excited about my career. And when
POLLI I could still go to California a lot, you know,
and he knew that I liked that. He knew that
I liked being in touch with my family and being
working there, and so he really helped me.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I mean, there's obviously all sorts of horror stories, you know,
or are you like, well, you have to know how
to navigate.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I mean, it's a predatory world. It was, and it's
not I think it come from Niava, Ta on people's parts.
Like when I moved to Paris, you know, my parents
did it. They didn't even fathom what it was going
to be like for us, you know, they didn't even fathom.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
And I had roommates that.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Were fourteen years old, thirteen years old, roommic thre were
in eighth grade. They should not be there. When Christy
Turlington moved to Paris, when she was fourteen years old.
Her mother went with her. No, I've known Christy my
whole life. We grew up together, and her mother went
with her. It didn't she didn't leave her on her own.
(15:59):
She was because there was a stewardess for pan Am.
And so you think that that's not similar to.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
She knew, she knew what it was going to be like, and.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
It wasn't this kind of thing where everybody was awful.
I mean, I was represented by Jean lu Brennell, and
I had great times with him, and I had not
great times with him. And it's just that's the way
we navigate our lives. Of course, we're going to have
things that are weird and awkward and uncomfortable. And then
I had those when I worked at shoestore, I'd have
(16:32):
a boss that was inappropriate. So is it exclusive to
the modeling or acting world?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Do you remember the word modelizer being used?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
No? I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
You don't have you ever heard that word?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Though?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Okay, familiar.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
We were like bringing up all these old words like promo, sexual, modelizer,
all these like nineties words. Do you remember Skylight?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Yeah, so a friend.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Of mine ran Skylight. She was beautiful Jen Blueman. She
unfortunately passed away, but I remember she used to say
to me, pretty girl problems like pretty like you know,
and there's actually through doing this project, I'm learning like
models are actually quite fragile.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah, a lot of them are.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
But how do you think that through? Like because in
some ways, like you have this great leg up in life,
which is you're so beautiful, right, like everybody looks at you.
Everybody wants to give you things, But it's a double
edged sword, Like how do you think about that? Like
to be a model that position and.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
People also want to take things from you. You know,
it's I don't I know very little, very few models
who don't support their whole families. No, I don't it.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Beauty is a gift, There's no doubt about it. People
can I get in trouble for things that I say,
But there's certain things that look better on certain certain
kinds of people, and people are drawn to that. I
mean they used to you used to be able to
go to Equinox. They would give us a free membership
because they wanted us to go to their gym. That's
(18:10):
how it was, you know, That's that's the people would
compy things because they wanted you to show up in
their restaurant. So sure that it's it's something in life,
but it's not it. You know, it's not everything in life.
And models are fragile, but it's not. I don't know
not one person I know with a problem that problem
didn't exist before their career, whether acting or modeling. It
(18:33):
exacerbated the problem that was already there.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And what exascerbated it, like the long shoots and the
sort of being on call all the time and the weirdom.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
No, it's a lonely life.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
It's it's a very and that's why Poly like making
himself available to certain models when they were alone. Like
a lot of models end up with guys that are losers,
and that's because those guys are available to constant be
with them. So they they want that or they or
they need that. So I don't need to be with
somebody all the time. I've never I've never needed that.
(19:10):
But other a lot of girls, it is there. But
there's times in my life that I was extremely lonely.
You know, I come from a big family and living
in Paris and not speaking French very well. Uh, it
affected me because I would be alone constantly and constantly,
you know, in Milan alone, in Japan alone. It's and
(19:32):
then you meet people and they become little family for
a while, but at first you are. It is a
very strange experience, you know, to be on your own.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
So that's why I think it happens.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
It doesn't make someone necessarily druggy, but you might drink
more because you're on your own. You might do something
because you're lonely.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Sure, but I.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Don't know if you tested the population, if it's there's
more models that have, you know, isolation depression than other people.
I don't know about that. It's possible, but it seems.
I mean the way that I grew up. Half of
(20:14):
my friends are healthy half of them. Some of them
are mess and some of them are fragile. And I
don't I grew up with Christy, but she's an extremely
strong person, always has been since she was a child.
That's just her nature. Not a druggy person, not a
party girl. So that it just happens to some people
(20:34):
that's going to be their stake in life, and sometimes
what they do is going to make it worse. I mean, people,
we're a sexual world, we're a sexual society, society, you're
going to want to be with people. That's normal, you know.
When I first went to Paris, I was prepared for
things that my fourteen year old roommates were not prepared for.
(20:54):
And my fourteen year old roommates hated me because I
wouldn't let them go.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
To Central Pay on a boat with some guy. You know,
I wouldn't let them take gifts from people.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
And they were like, I don't want to be roommates
with her anymore because she won't let us have fun.
I'm an older sister, so I'm protective in my nature,
but I also know when people are being gross.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Can smell it, you know. But I'm not saying things
didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Of course I had.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
That's the way I became.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
The way I became is because things happened to me.
So it's normal. Yeah, that doesn't mean it's right, but
it's normal.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
What were the pictures you did with Dennis Hopper?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
So they were of Italian Vogue and we're uh on
the beach and we're like on a like on a
like a day bed, and they're all outdoors. There's one
that I look like I'm pushing up on him. They're
like really sexy pictures. They're beautiful pictures, and he wasn't
(22:08):
a plan for him to be in the picture at all.
We were walking doing these pictures for a Talian vogue
at the Venice Film Festival during the Venice Film Festival,
and I walked up to him and said, do you
want to be in some pictures with me? And he's like, oh, yeah,
of course I will.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
So that so like he's in a suit on the beach.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
So he's uh, he's fully. I mean, it's uh, I
don't know. I mean, how do you feel about having
lost a lot of these people like they've done us
Hoppers and all these people from your past who you know,
like I guess they live on within the photos that
(22:48):
you have, you.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Know, they absolutely do.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
There's a lot of people there's like the Tatiana petits
is that it crushes me, you know, like it's it
doesn't seem right that Gail O'Neill is gone. That it
just seems crazy to me that these people that are
young are gone. You know, Yeah, a lot of people
that we did jobs with the pictures with her are gone.
(23:12):
It happened in our industry with makeup that her Brits
is gone. Who's like the sweetest person in the world.
Nobody's more deserving of the career he had than him,
So it is shocking, you know. I mean, my mom
just died two months ago, so okay, that's okay. I
can accept like death. But when some many young guys,
(23:33):
it always breaks my heart, you know, when they're too young,
when there should still be in this world. It's heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
You eventually retired from modeling. Why did you do that?
Did you want to do it for a while and
then do it or how did it all happen?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
So I met someone and it just became like when
you're when you have your pick of the crop, it's great,
you know, it's life's easier when you are doing Victoria's
Secrets or you're doing jobs in locations that you want
to and then when it becomes harder. I really really
(24:10):
stopped working when I got married, which was twenty years ago.
You know, I will do things, but it's more like
an appearance thing. It's more like a special booking thing.
It's I won't just I'm not trying to. I did
something really recently with Michelle Heady at the Chelsea hotel,
(24:32):
and you know, someone asked me and it's you know,
Michelle Heady. Now all of a sudden, it's trying to
get me to work all the time. Like I'm good.
I like, if you have something cool for us to do,
then I'll be there. But I'm not just I'm not
trying to sit on the streets of Miami or Wisconsin
and do catalog anymore. That's I've did that for a
(24:53):
long time, and I don't you know, I'm not interested
in that anymore. But things were good and I got
a sick ass con. I would love that. I would
love that.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And how many kids do you have?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Two kids?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Two kids?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
How old are they now?
Speaker 4 (25:09):
I have a boy that's twenty nine and a boy
that's seventeen.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Okay, two men, two men, Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
And my son's a photographer. My my oldest son's a photographer.
Nick Derossi. He was really really good, cool, you know,
working all the time and doing really well. You just
did show week. He went to Italy to assist for
Julia Roberts. He went to Julia Roberts wedding and was
the assistant. So he's been doing it since he was
ten years old.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Assistant, and he had a bunch of jobs. He had
some Wall Street things, he worked restaurants, He had a
bunch of different things that he did.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
And then he started taking pictures. Really liked it, and
I was like, I don't want him.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
To do that.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I don't want to do it.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
And Christy Trillington's like, just let him.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
You know, he's excited about it. Just let him do it.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
It's not like I, it's letting doesn't exist though.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
People do what they want to do.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
And so, like, what was it like having kids on
the shoot with you? Was it like it's easy, They're
just in the corner and you get a babysitter to come,
or was it like crazy?
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I didn't take him his dad did. I didn't take
him because because my my thing is an illusion, you know,
like even even in the year two thousand when I
did Playboy and I was a mother already in La
the photographer, you know, he got mixed messages from the
way I was looking at him.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
It's like, no, I'm this is my job. I know
you think I'm in love with you and always have been,
but that's not that's not the case. No, So I
never took him because of the illusion. I mean I
maybe took him like twice if he was there for
the job something.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
But then people get distracted and they.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Think, you know, you're something that you're not like I.
I didn't want to get into the way of that
illusion of you know, being you know, like he teases
me now because he goes, you were so young when
you had me, and you were the young mom, and
now you're an old mom like everybody else.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
So what like would you would you have if you
had a daughter? Would you have a model? And what
if so we would you tell me?
Speaker 4 (27:07):
It's so funny that you say that, because Gracie Burns,
Christy's daughters modeling a little bit now and I just
saw City the other night and we're talking about Kaya.
But I'm Kaya was born to do that. You know,
even if Cindy wasn't her mother, she would still be
a supermodel. I mean, look she it's crazy how how
she It's crazy how she looks.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
I think that.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
The industry is more protective now than it used to be.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
How do you think it's changed.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I think that.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
People are more aware of what happened. There's a lot
of exposure of what happened. You know, in our generation,
there's a lot of exposure of you know, the predatory
behavior and the people taking advantage you know a lot
of people. I'm surprised that there's certain people that haven't
been vested. I'm like, whoa, they got away with that.
(27:53):
So and then some that I think probably shouldn't have
gotten trouble. But I just think that people know more,
Like Grace Christy's daughter is like, there's no way this
generation of women, those girls that are like twenties, you know,
like ronic Web's daughter, and there's no way that they're
going to let someone do something. There's no way they're
(28:14):
going to be shocked and go let someone expose themselves.
Or they would just be like what the fuck are
you doing? You know what's going on here? They would
be like the way I got when I was like
twenty seven, you know, after I'd already experienced it and
it's like, Okay, now you finally woke up and say
things to people.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
But their moms probably prepared them more for it.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Thanks so much for listening to my Wars. We'll be
back next week with the last of our ten episodes
Campside Media.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Thanks for coming back. Everyone to Model Wars Episode nine,
a production of iHeart Podcasts and Campside Media. I'm Vanessa Grigoriatis.
So this episode we're talking to some of the women
that we interviewed for this podcast, like Susie Sugarman. She
was a model booker for a long time and she's
(00:46):
got a terrific personality. You'll hear her talk about kamoral
Lee Simmons, who is the model who is married to
Russell Simmons. She'll also talk about Carla Brunei, the model
who was later married to Nicholas Sarkozy, president of France.
So Susie specialized in booking models for catalogs, which were
(01:07):
big business back in the day, obviously back when catalogs
still came in the mail and that's how we bought
close instead of on the internet. So listen in to
my interview with Susie. What were some of the catalogs
you were working with and like how much were the
models getting waited?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Just to give you an example of how I created
this and this is why you know, Paul will tell
you like that I was one of the best catalog
bookers in the industry. I would go home to my
doorman building, and every floor I think it had twenty
something floors. I literally would go to the garbage of
every single floor where they had like the recycling bin,
(01:48):
and I collected every catalog that ever existed, and I
would lug the catalogs to work every day, and I
started pounding the phones to every single catalog and saying, like,
who does your ca how can I you know? Where
do I go?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
And what were some of them, like Delia's or.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
We're talking like so many department stores, like Macy's had
stores in like the Midwest. They had it in the
you know, San Francisco, they had it in Atlanta, they
had it in Florida. You know, it wasn't just a
New York market. And like nord Strums and mem and
Marcus and J. C. Penny and then there was Riches,
(02:28):
which was a big department store, and god, there was
so many more stores back in those days. They paid
very like a lot of them paid super well in
the nineties. I mean, girls were like, on average, like
a low rate would be you know, fifteen hundred to
two thousand a day, and then certain girls you could
(02:50):
get up to like maybe thirty five hundred, you know,
or higher it depending on if they were like a star.
Back in those days, there was no computers, right, and
there was no like cell phones, so it was a
very different time. But I'm telling I tell young people now,
it worked so much better than it works now because
(03:12):
nobody relied on like a text, No one relied on
a you know, on an email. We didn't have that.
So the models actually had to get rolls of quarters
and go to every corner and call in every hour
on the hour to the agency to make sure that
they are not missing.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
A casting and so like who in the time you
were in with it, you know, who were the top ones.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Girls found out about Paul because he literally was known
to have like polaroids of girls and submit them to magazines.
Like he's literally had a girl in a polaroid and
then put on the cover of a magazine.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And were you ever like intimidated by them? Like these
beautiful tall you know, blah blah bla, Like you go
to a nightclub to get all.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
That because all like the club owners loved me, Like everybody,
like you know, knew who I was and they knew
I was coming with the girls.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well, but what's the point of having the models at
the party like this is? I think what people don't
quite understand. It's basically just to make the room look.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Like what's the twofold answer. Back in the nineties, we
needed to bond with our models, and the way you
bonded with your models were like going to dinner, going
out this way. They felt close to their booker and
they weren't looking to like jump to another agency. For
(04:39):
the promoters, of course, if you have models in a
place like, you're going to get the spenders to come
and you know, drop a lot of money buying bottles
or I mean, it's the oldest you know story in
the book, right. I don't remember sneaking anybody in myself,
but I know that back then people didn't even look
(05:00):
twice if like younger girls were coming in you know.
Of course that stopped over the years, but yeah, I
mean I've been to like clubs where I see one
of my seventeen year olds, you know, like asking me
if I wanted to like have champagne at her table.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I was like, what what made it kind of different
than those other agencies like Click and for How would
you describe it as different?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
We were like a real boutique agency, and like Paul
and Omar were magic, like they were these two young guys.
Models actually came into the agency and that's what made
it Models such a wonderful agency because we welcomed our
models to come in because sometimes a lot of girls
didn't have places to go in between castings. So like
(05:47):
there were certain agencies that like didn't want their models
to come in. There was certain agencies that are like, no,
we don't bother us. But we were like a big
family and we welcomed the girls and they would come
in and they would bring us coffee and they would
bring us cookies, and we really became like a family.
And that was really due to Paul Fisher because he
(06:08):
really encouraged like us to have the relationships with the
girls and the girls to have the relationship with us.
Paul had represented Naomi in La, We had Kimura, Carla Bruni.
I'm trying to remember like some of the girls that
were just you know, Oh, we had Jade who married
(06:32):
Matt Lower. Her real name was Annette, but her model
name is Jade. Everybody was concentrating on the stars quote
unquote stars, but you have all these models that need
to work every day, they need to pay their bills.
I've never been intimidated. I love the girls. They were
like my sisters. I'm still close with, like pretty much
(06:55):
every girl I've ever represented in all these years, especially
a lot of the girls from Models Days are still
like my family. I consider them family. I mean, you know,
you get what you give.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Right now, we're going to talk to someone you've met
in earlier episodes. Kara Young. She's the model who was
(07:31):
super hot in the nineties and she lived in this
amazing loft in Soho with a guy named Sante Drazzio.
He was a very well known fashion photographer. They were
good friends with Paul and Caara was modeling for everyone.
Here's Kara tell us where you grew up and when
(07:55):
you started being a model.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I was born in San Francisco, California. My parents are
from the South. My mom was from North Carolina and
my father is from Texas and he was.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
In the military and they met.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Her mother lived out there, so they moved up there.
So I grew up in San Francisco until I was
Before I was ten, I moved to the East Bay
and I started There was a contest called Look of
the Year that a lot of girls started modeling from.
But I didn't place at all. I was just one
of the random contestants. And this girl that I worked
(08:34):
in the shoe store with her mother said, oh, you
guys should enter this contest. You should be models, and
da da da da, and she entered us in this contest.
And then I actually started modeling from that. So, like
four years ago, this girl contacted me on Instagram and
she says, you're not the car young that worked in
(08:56):
San Valley mall though, right, I go, yeah, I am,
I said, I remember you. Your mom, you know, helped
us start modelish so worked out a bit better for
you than it did myself. But yeah, So I started
in San Francisco, and then I moved to Los Angeles
when I was a teenager with a boyfriend. And then
(09:16):
I moved to New York. I went to Paris and
Milan in New York, all of those places I decided
to go to for six months. But I'm still in
New York, you know, thirty years later.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I mean San Francisco, I assume was pretty small potatoes.
But what was la modeling scene like then? When how
old were you when you moved there.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
So I was a teenager. I was just out of
high school, and it was it was you know, you
you worked pretty consistently in Los Angeles, Like I worked
there and I became like myself and the Scroll, Paula
Barbieri and a bunch of girls started becoming really regular
(09:59):
you know, models and doing everything that they had to
offer there. It was consisted of a lot of commercials,
a lot of a lot of TV little little appearances,
a lot of commercials, a lot of uh, you know,
print like everyday Broadway, may Company, Macy's things like that.
(10:20):
In the Nordstrums we did a lot of So it
was just very catalog nothing. You know.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
There was La Style.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
If you got into La Style, you thought that you
were like a supermodel, you know, if you got into
that magazine. So that's how that's the level that it
was there.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And was there a sense of like you got to
get to New York or you got to get to
Paris or what were people saying?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
So if there, momling was always about people finding you.
There was always scouts. Like even when I which Japan
rum is really young, it was a scout came over
and said, oh you should go to Japan, I think
you'd work there. So when I was in Los Angeles,
the same thing happened to me. A scout's like, what
(11:03):
why are you here doing jello commercials and working for
you know, the main company. Why would you? Why don't
you come to New York where you could you know,
be a big model. And they said, do you just
want to do this until you're thirty years old? And
I was like nineteen, and I said, oh my god,
you think I'll work until I was thirty. I thought
(11:26):
that was like such a compliment, because that's how we were,
you know, back then, that's what you thought.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What about your heritage, descent, ethnicity, being black? Were you
bookable from the time you were young, or were you
hearing people say, you know, we don't we only have
a slot for one girl like that or something like that.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
It's you know, I mean, I was my father's white,
my mother's black, So I always was identified, you know
with I mean, I did it as black person. But
I don't negate my father's role in my life or
my upbringing from him or his heritage. In the slightest way.
I'm very happy my parents got married before it was
(12:12):
legal and it was a statement of racial unity. So
I'll never negate what I am. I know that I
looked different, but other people and everyone always said that.
Everyone always said, even when I was a teenager, or
you look different, what are you? Where are you from?
What are you? What are you? And so I think
that I came into play during a time that people
(12:35):
started to be intrigued with girls who looked more unique.
Was there issues of it? Of course there were. There
was times that they tried to pay us less money.
There was times that there was a time that I
would do two pictures and other girls would do ten,
and that's fine. But then there was a shift in
(12:56):
our business where we started to do just as much
my That's how it was my interpretation. I remember doing
a job with just myself, the DJ, this really big
model at the time, and yeah, asmin Gari and I
was like, whoa is this is crazy? Remember when weed
we like looked at each other. Remember we used to
barely do anything that we're doing everything?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So yeah, what about uh sante? You guys had a
loft that was called Plato's retreat? Is that true?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yes, we did. We didn't know.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I mean, obviously, when people see things about your behind
your back, which is I'm perfectly comfortable with. I don't
talk amongst yourselves. I don't need to hear everything. But uh,
Stephen Mazell called it Plato's retreat, and we heard I
heard about that later on, you know that he was saying.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
He would say, oh, did you.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Guys go to Plato's retreat this weekend? And it was
just funny, you know, And it was.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Just a big loft that had, like you guys had
lots of parties.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
For me, he lived there with his other girlfriends. So
he's never not had that loft, you know. He's had
that loft since I was in high school. So it
continues to be there. I don't know what goes on
there now, but I changed it when I had a child.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I changed it and I cleared everybody out.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
I was like the big party pooper.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And so for you, how did things change as your
career went on where you said, like, I want to
cover of this magazine, No, I want to be Victoria's secret.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I met this photographer, Wayne Maser, who's a great photographer,
and he said, we were doing these pictures and I
just come to New York and I didn't even think
I lived there yet, but I did. And he said,
did you ever think that you'd be doing beauty for
American Vogue? And I said, yes, I did. That's why
(14:50):
I came here. I didn't come here to do more catalogs.
And so it was a very big deal for me,
and I was very excited about my career. And when
POLLI I could still go to California a lot, you know,
and he knew that I liked that. He knew that
I liked being in touch with my family and being
working there, and so he really helped me.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I mean, there's obviously all sorts of horror stories, you know,
or are you like, well, you have to know how
to navigate.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I mean, it's a predatory world. It was, and it's
not I think it come from Niava, Ta on people's parts.
Like when I moved to Paris, you know, my parents
did it. They didn't even fathom what it was going
to be like for us, you know, they didn't even fathom.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
And I had roommates that.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Were fourteen years old, thirteen years old, roommic thre were
in eighth grade. They should not be there. When Christy
Turlington moved to Paris, when she was fourteen years old.
Her mother went with her. No, I've known Christy my
whole life. We grew up together, and her mother went
with her. It didn't she didn't leave her on her own.
(15:59):
She was because there was a stewardess for pan Am.
And so you think that that's not similar to.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
She knew, she knew what it was going to be like, and.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
It wasn't this kind of thing where everybody was awful.
I mean, I was represented by Jean lu Brennell, and
I had great times with him, and I had not
great times with him. And it's just that's the way
we navigate our lives. Of course, we're going to have
things that are weird and awkward and uncomfortable. And then
I had those when I worked at shoestore, I'd have
(16:32):
a boss that was inappropriate. So is it exclusive to
the modeling or acting world?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Do you remember the word modelizer being used?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
No? I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
You don't have you ever heard that word?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Though?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Okay, familiar.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
We were like bringing up all these old words like promo, sexual, modelizer,
all these like nineties words. Do you remember Skylight?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Yeah, so a friend.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Of mine ran Skylight. She was beautiful Jen Blueman. She
unfortunately passed away, but I remember she used to say
to me, pretty girl problems like pretty like you know,
and there's actually through doing this project, I'm learning like
models are actually quite fragile.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah, a lot of them are.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
But how do you think that through? Like because in
some ways, like you have this great leg up in life,
which is you're so beautiful, right, like everybody looks at you.
Everybody wants to give you things, But it's a double
edged sword, Like how do you think about that? Like
to be a model that position and.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
People also want to take things from you. You know,
it's I don't I know very little, very few models
who don't support their whole families. No, I don't it.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Beauty is a gift, There's no doubt about it. People
can I get in trouble for things that I say,
But there's certain things that look better on certain certain
kinds of people, and people are drawn to that. I
mean they used to you used to be able to
go to Equinox. They would give us a free membership
because they wanted us to go to their gym. That's
(18:10):
how it was, you know, That's that's the people would
compy things because they wanted you to show up in
their restaurant. So sure that it's it's something in life,
but it's not it. You know, it's not everything in life.
And models are fragile, but it's not. I don't know
not one person I know with a problem that problem
didn't exist before their career, whether acting or modeling. It
(18:33):
exacerbated the problem that was already there.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And what exascerbated it, like the long shoots and the
sort of being on call all the time and the weirdom.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
No, it's a lonely life.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
It's it's a very and that's why Poly like making
himself available to certain models when they were alone. Like
a lot of models end up with guys that are losers,
and that's because those guys are available to constant be
with them. So they they want that or they or
they need that. So I don't need to be with
somebody all the time. I've never I've never needed that.
(19:10):
But other a lot of girls, it is there. But
there's times in my life that I was extremely lonely.
You know, I come from a big family and living
in Paris and not speaking French very well. Uh, it
affected me because I would be alone constantly and constantly,
you know, in Milan alone, in Japan alone. It's and
(19:32):
then you meet people and they become little family for
a while, but at first you are. It is a
very strange experience, you know, to be on your own.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
So that's why I think it happens.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
It doesn't make someone necessarily druggy, but you might drink
more because you're on your own. You might do something
because you're lonely.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Sure, but I.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Don't know if you tested the population, if it's there's
more models that have, you know, isolation depression than other people.
I don't know about that. It's possible, but it seems.
I mean the way that I grew up. Half of
(20:14):
my friends are healthy half of them. Some of them
are mess and some of them are fragile. And I
don't I grew up with Christy, but she's an extremely
strong person, always has been since she was a child.
That's just her nature. Not a druggy person, not a
party girl. So that it just happens to some people
(20:34):
that's going to be their stake in life, and sometimes
what they do is going to make it worse. I mean, people,
we're a sexual world, we're a sexual society, society, you're
going to want to be with people. That's normal, you know.
When I first went to Paris, I was prepared for
things that my fourteen year old roommates were not prepared for.
(20:54):
And my fourteen year old roommates hated me because I
wouldn't let them go.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
To Central Pay on a boat with some guy. You know,
I wouldn't let them take gifts from people.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
And they were like, I don't want to be roommates
with her anymore because she won't let us have fun.
I'm an older sister, so I'm protective in my nature,
but I also know when people are being gross.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Can smell it, you know. But I'm not saying things
didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Of course I had.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
That's the way I became.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
The way I became is because things happened to me.
So it's normal. Yeah, that doesn't mean it's right, but
it's normal.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
What were the pictures you did with Dennis Hopper?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
So they were of Italian Vogue and we're uh on
the beach and we're like on a like on a
like a day bed, and they're all outdoors. There's one
that I look like I'm pushing up on him. They're
like really sexy pictures. They're beautiful pictures, and he wasn't
(22:08):
a plan for him to be in the picture at all.
We were walking doing these pictures for a Talian vogue
at the Venice Film Festival during the Venice Film Festival,
and I walked up to him and said, do you
want to be in some pictures with me? And he's like, oh, yeah,
of course I will.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
So that so like he's in a suit on the beach.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
So he's uh, he's fully. I mean, it's uh, I
don't know. I mean, how do you feel about having
lost a lot of these people like they've done us
Hoppers and all these people from your past who you know,
like I guess they live on within the photos that
(22:48):
you have, you.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Know, they absolutely do.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
There's a lot of people there's like the Tatiana petits
is that it crushes me, you know, like it's it
doesn't seem right that Gail O'Neill is gone. That it
just seems crazy to me that these people that are
young are gone. You know, Yeah, a lot of people
that we did jobs with the pictures with her are gone.
(23:12):
It happened in our industry with makeup that her Brits
is gone. Who's like the sweetest person in the world.
Nobody's more deserving of the career he had than him,
So it is shocking, you know. I mean, my mom
just died two months ago, so okay, that's okay. I
can accept like death. But when some many young guys,
(23:33):
it always breaks my heart, you know, when they're too young,
when there should still be in this world. It's heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
You eventually retired from modeling. Why did you do that?
Did you want to do it for a while and
then do it or how did it all happen?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
So I met someone and it just became like when
you're when you have your pick of the crop, it's great,
you know, it's life's easier when you are doing Victoria's
Secrets or you're doing jobs in locations that you want
to and then when it becomes harder. I really really
(24:10):
stopped working when I got married, which was twenty years ago.
You know, I will do things, but it's more like
an appearance thing. It's more like a special booking thing.
It's I won't just I'm not trying to. I did
something really recently with Michelle Heady at the Chelsea hotel,
(24:32):
and you know, someone asked me and it's you know,
Michelle Heady. Now all of a sudden, it's trying to
get me to work all the time. Like I'm good.
I like, if you have something cool for us to do,
then I'll be there. But I'm not just I'm not
trying to sit on the streets of Miami or Wisconsin
and do catalog anymore. That's I've did that for a
(24:53):
long time, and I don't you know, I'm not interested
in that anymore. But things were good and I got
a sick ass con. I would love that. I would
love that.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And how many kids do you have?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Two kids?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Two kids?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
How old are they now?
Speaker 4 (25:09):
I have a boy that's twenty nine and a boy
that's seventeen.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Okay, two men, two men, Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
And my son's a photographer. My my oldest son's a photographer.
Nick Derossi. He was really really good, cool, you know,
working all the time and doing really well. You just
did show week. He went to Italy to assist for
Julia Roberts. He went to Julia Roberts wedding and was
the assistant. So he's been doing it since he was
ten years old.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Assistant, and he had a bunch of jobs. He had
some Wall Street things, he worked restaurants, He had a
bunch of different things that he did.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
And then he started taking pictures. Really liked it, and
I was like, I don't want him.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
To do that.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I don't want to do it.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
And Christy Trillington's like, just let him.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
You know, he's excited about it. Just let him do it.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
It's not like I, it's letting doesn't exist though.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
People do what they want to do.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
And so, like, what was it like having kids on
the shoot with you? Was it like it's easy, They're
just in the corner and you get a babysitter to come,
or was it like crazy?
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I didn't take him his dad did. I didn't take
him because because my my thing is an illusion, you know,
like even even in the year two thousand when I
did Playboy and I was a mother already in La
the photographer, you know, he got mixed messages from the
way I was looking at him.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
It's like, no, I'm this is my job. I know
you think I'm in love with you and always have been,
but that's not that's not the case. No, So I
never took him because of the illusion. I mean I
maybe took him like twice if he was there for
the job something.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
But then people get distracted and they.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Think, you know, you're something that you're not like I.
I didn't want to get into the way of that
illusion of you know, being you know, like he teases
me now because he goes, you were so young when
you had me, and you were the young mom, and
now you're an old mom like everybody else.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
So what like would you would you have if you
had a daughter? Would you have a model? And what
if so we would you tell me?
Speaker 4 (27:07):
It's so funny that you say that, because Gracie Burns,
Christy's daughters modeling a little bit now and I just
saw City the other night and we're talking about Kaya.
But I'm Kaya was born to do that. You know,
even if Cindy wasn't her mother, she would still be
a supermodel. I mean, look she it's crazy how how
she It's crazy how she looks.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
I think that.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
The industry is more protective now than it used to be.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
How do you think it's changed.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I think that.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
People are more aware of what happened. There's a lot
of exposure of what happened. You know, in our generation,
there's a lot of exposure of you know, the predatory
behavior and the people taking advantage you know a lot
of people. I'm surprised that there's certain people that haven't
been vested. I'm like, whoa, they got away with that.
(27:53):
So and then some that I think probably shouldn't have
gotten trouble. But I just think that people know more,
Like Grace Christy's daughter is like, there's no way this
generation of women, those girls that are like twenties, you know,
like ronic Web's daughter, and there's no way that they're
going to let someone do something. There's no way they're
(28:14):
going to be shocked and go let someone expose themselves.
Or they would just be like what the fuck are
you doing? You know what's going on here? They would
be like the way I got when I was like
twenty seven, you know, after I'd already experienced it and
it's like, Okay, now you finally woke up and say
things to people.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
But their moms probably prepared them more for it.
