I thought I was going to dislike this episode but I loved it. Dior is so excited and her mom is a great motivator. They're a wholesome family. I love how the dad takes care of them and the son is great too.

if she isn't stalked, taken advantage of, ripped off, mauled, assaulted, on drugs, develop depression and low body image, an eating disorder or suffer severe isolation from travelling alone and sleeping in hotel rooms alone...many things that come with modelling no matter how strong you are. It's not something to aim for. Oh, and don't forget seen as only good for one thing, smiling and looking young and pretty.

I love this family so much. Nothing about them seems forced or faked for the camera. I loved the moment when the dad brought the mom her tea, and she expressed so much appreciation for him, acknowledging that she meant to bring him tea and forgot, and that was how he responded. They truly seem to love and respect one another so much, and it's reflected in their children.

I had a black girl in my class with afro hair. One day some girls were having a role play with dresses and costumes, since there was only one tiara, I asked the girls to take turns to be the princess. When it was her turn, I used my own hair band and hair clips to fix her hair so the tiara would fit. being an Asian person, I had no idea about the symbolic meaning and funny relationship between a black female and her hair, nor did i have any idea how to treat her hair. Her mom came to pick her up, she watched her daughter being the princess and she was nearly in tears which shocked me as i thought something went wrong. The next day she came to me and looked me in the eyes and thanked me after her daughter told her how i helped to fix her hair so she can be the princess because she never gets to be a princess in a play. I was so happy and heart broken at the same time. She is no longer my student but the whole family became friends to my own and her mom is one of my close friends whom i learnt a lot from.

FYI, she did not grow up in the UK and this did not happen in the UK. Maybe things are better for black British people, and I am happy to know that. By the way, not a good idea spending too much time sitting on a toilet unnecessarily.

I loved so much about this episode! Knowing the prevalence of eating disorders within the modeling world, I wish Stacey hadn’t commented on what Dior was eating.

@Lisargarza 6 ай бұрын

Oh wow, I didn’t pick up on that. Good point. Looking at mom and dad, I bet Dior is going to be naturally svelte her whole life. She was eating chips at one point and their meal times seemed so relaxed and enjoyable. I’m betting she has a pretty healthy attitude about food going forward.

@elisemiller13 5 ай бұрын

Seems to me it sets an example of healthy attitude that Stacey Did comment. There's so much pain, for girls of all ages about food and fear placed upon us, & shoved into our minds from a young age. Yes! please talk about it and remove the stigma of a carb or a chip, so this b.s. suffering can be nipped in the bud at a young age! Leads to eating the whole bag & models (as well so many others) doing terrible things to their bodies otherwise.

These kids seem so happy. "Mom's a good one to count on?" Like, come on, how wonderful is that? They are obviously cared for and loved, and they are generally happy. I think stacy said it well about how, if she was able to do this as a young girl, to get to wear makeup and fun clothes and be the center of attention, shed have loved it. And they have decent parents. The parents are really attentive and considerate of their needs. Needs for food breaks, and time off, and education, and time to be a kid. Its just nice.

What this episode showed me more than anything is that it's really all about confidence and personality because all children are beautiful, just like all adults are beautiful in their own way but with children it's more obvious. Dior looks like my neighbour's daughter and her little model friend looks just like my son's friend from school. They are both really confident girls but maybe not quite as extroverted and bubbly and most importantly they wouldn't like playing dress up for hours.

The other little girl isn't the point of this episode, and it's obvious the boy meant that he was grateful that their well-off. That he has a beautiful house while others do not even have a shack. Being rich is a good thing to be thankful for because not everyone is in that position.

Wish Stacey had asked more about if they think over compensating for self-esteem can be more harmful than good. It's good for kids to get a dose of reality. I don't agree that any of this is a good thing, regardless of how good the parents are about it. The young model friend of hers even said that she loves the attention. Did that not raise a red flag for anyone else? Reading the comments they all seem positive. I'm quite shocked. You can create narcissistic adults this way. Not saying they will be. But... better to teach your kids to be humble than "I'm the smartest person in the world and the most beautiful." Feel kind of bad for the son, too.

I would have loved for Dior to have been featured in Ebony, which was America's Longest Running Black Magazine that debuted in 1945 and went Bankrupt in 2020. I would have loved for Stacey to have interviewed Girls Aloud and how their lives have changed in the past 22 years. They were so much luckier than most Girl Groups especially the ones from The Video Age. Some ended up Homeless like in SWV (Sisters With Voices), Broke like TLC, or getting cash advances like En Vogue or put their career on the line lke Tameka aka "Tiny" from Xscape. The Young Man is so respectful. However Carribbean & African Parents make their children toe the line when it comes to discipline.
