[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meritocracy has failed miserably in the USA and [b]it's nowhere more obvious than in the modeling world. [/b][b]Every day there comes another average looking/cuteish young female with famous parents, supposedly a model. Eve Jobs (Steve Job's daughter) is now a model, too, and she is just so stiff and unnatural, just looking at her is painful. A few days ago it was Heidi Klum's daughter, short, average, not ugly but so obviously not model material. And on and on...[/quote] No. It's nowhere more obvious than in competitive college admissions and corporate job placements. Statistically speaking, there's still more 'no-name' models in the business than there are Klums, Leones and Emhoffs. [/quote] actually, it's nowhere more obvious than on the runway because there are photos of it plastered everywhere every day and you can see it clearly by merely looking at it. you don't need to have any background knowledge, or understand anything about the process. perhaps it is not statistically the most egregious (i don't know, and it's not like you provided any data), but it is the most obvious.[/quote]
