J. Alexander a.k.a Miss J

Hasn't it been awhile?

Have you people ever America's Next Top Model?

One of the judges on the judge panel is the wonderful Miss J, J.Alexander.

I always thought he was awesome, for his walk and his clothes and personality, but I never really asked about where he came from, that question had a very interesting answer.

But I recently found a book he wrote about his life and career, and it's witty, funny, sad, and full of very good advice.  The book is also filled with many pictures he has modeled, all very lovely and pictures of his experiences also.

The book is called Follow The Model, and it has a gorgeous picture of Miss J on the cover, which I love.

Some moments in the book were very sad and made me tear up like the part where he described his reaction to Barbara's death. 

The book also has advice from entering a club to showing you how to pronounce popular fashion brand names,such as, Costello Tagliapietra which is pronounced as "cost-EL-lo tah-lee-ah-pee-Ay-trah" according to Miss Jay.  That comes very helpful when I want to learn about the fashion world.

An advice that was given to him once, as he quoted was on page 70, which his manager at his job at Bergdorf Goodman told him when he tried to hide his mistake and hid his mistake, she told him that "You appear to be smarter by asking questions than not asking them at all."



I suggest you read this book.  Hope you all like it. :]
