As much as I love modeling, my real passion is writing. How do you think this will change anything for you professionally moving forward?Ī. I think it’s important to make children aware that we’re all human. It was my dad who reminded me to calm down and that ‘We all poop!’ That stuck with me. I remember being really tiny and meeting a celebrity for the first time, and I got really excited about it to the point where I thought I would faint. I think they didn’t realize how fake social media can be, and how poisonous it is for young children and teenagers. It’s interesting because a lot of parents have reached out to me. What advice would you give parents raising girls or boys about social media and life online?Ī. As a parent, your message is really important to me and probably to a lot of other parents. I think we also need to all remember that social media isn’t real. I think if you create a life that isn’t really yours, then you’re always going to be found out in the end. What steps might someone take to be more authentic online?Ī. We need to stop pretending that being perfect is real. At the end of the day, we’re all human and we all have flaws and believe it or not, body hair. So many people suffer, yet no one talks about it enough. Let’s just be real.’ People have thanked me, especially over the photo I shared where I had just finished my psychotherapy session. I think it’s fantastic that it’s given people the confidence to come forward and say ‘I’m tired of this bullshit, too. How does it feel to know that your message is resonating with so many people?Ī. They’re unrealistic, and I’m sure it’s caused plenty of people, especially young girls, a lot of issues, simply because they feel they are not as good as the standard they see online. I like social media but it concerns me that young girls are looking up to their idols not realizing how contrived their images are.

All my life I have been judged because of my career. What were you trying to accomplish by posting these “real” images?Ī. I reached out to Sanders after news and images of the experiment went viral to ask about her message, advice for parents, and her next moves: She initially lost thousands of followers, but gained the interest and appreciation of people around the world who support her message. Response to the social experiment was mixed. She replaced her glamour shots with “real life” double chin, hair removal and IBS treatment images. Sanders made headlines recently when she dumped the airbrushed, artificial images to show the manufactured side of modeling. U.K.-based model Stina Sanders is an Instagram sensation.
