Lets take this in another direction. We heard for the most part from models here.Lets hear from a few runway models
Some things you can share 
like:
what got you interested in modeling?  Ex. friends say you're cute   , tall  your  demeanor..etc.
how did you get your first gig?  Hearsay, introduction? cattle call   Craigslist? MM?
how excited were you to get on the model list?

Were your friends happy for you  or jealous?


On the day of the show  can you provide a timeline? that is  from the time you get dropped off or parked your car... what was it like...?
Makeup and hair   ? what was it like crowded in a small room with many many MUAs's or did you have to wait in line?  was this a big show with many designers on stage  ? were you selected to model for  more than 1 designer?
Fitting room  were you uncomfortable in th efitting room? Sometimes there were men in there.   a lot of times the models are topless  and some times totally nude.... did it bother you?
How nervous were you when it was your turn to go on... what was in your head?  worried about tripping in your heels?
How did you feel when you came to the end of the walk and now you walk back    was there a sense of relief or  more confidence...
Did it bother you when  you had to change outfits as soon as you returned? 
Was the second run more confident?
was this what you thought?
I see this BTS when i shoot the fashions shows... after all this is model mayhem? 
any body have a war story or 2?
