"Fuck heels, they weigh my bag down," 22-year-old model Cailin Hill said as she walked into our offices recently. Wearing a coffee-stained white tee and a beat-up pair of Doc Martens.
What were you like as a kid?
Oh man, I was this super awkward arty girl. My dad was an art teacher, so I spent a lot of time alone, drawing in these sketchbooks he would bring home. I spent a great deal of time rescuing injured birds and doing all those things that little misfit children do. I never had many friends, but I managed to make a couple of very close friends. I guess haven't changed much [laughs].
How did you first get discovered?
I used to work two part-time jobs to make rent. I was working at one of my jobs in the mall when an older model came in and asked me if I had ever thought about modeling. I remember lying and saying no, but I took her card. I came into work for my next shift, and my manager told me the agency had been calling, trying to get a hold of me. I then got scouted again working at Starbucks [my other job] a week after, and I told myself, "Self, you're an idiot if you don't try this."
[Sidenote: lucky girl to get spotted TWICE. I could only hope.]
If not modeling, what would you be doing?
Not sure, but I wasn't exactly rising up the ranks at Starbucks. I think I would probably still be a smart-alecky blogger, living in Canada. I never had the opportunity to travel before modeling, but I hope I would have found my way to New York regardless.
What was the last thing you bought?
Colored panties from Victoria's Secret. I've been living a sad life of nude colored G-strings lately. It comes with the territory.
I personally found her really interesting...I think I would love to meet her. Most models can be quite intimidating...they seem so sure of themselves but in this interview she admits that she's awkward and seems quite real, plus she's really witty. If she's from Ontario I would love to meet her I like anyone that I can relate with and since I consider myself odds and randoms I would say that we could definitely relate. Hopefully, I'll have another post with mix of photos and editorials of her - she is GORGEOUS.
I loved her whole interview so I have most of the questions below, so if you want to read more of her interview click "read more" below.
