Present continuous

I think that what's happening right now and what excites me to see is I feel like modeling is becoming less about looking one certain way and more about celebrating, like all of the different ways that a person can possibly exist.

Past continuous

It's not that I didn't think that I could model, but it just never something that I thought was gonna be like My story.

My name is Tess McMillan, and we're here in London Fashion Week, and I'm getting ready to do the Simone Rocha show, which I'm so excited for.

But before that, I'm gonna take you around for my day.

And right now, I was just getting ready to write in my journal a little bit, which is what I do every day.

And like No, don't look, I think everyone needs at least one secret.

This is my third time walking, and this time I feel a little bit better.

But I remember like, before I did my first show, I was like, I'm not doing shows.

I was like, I'm not doing shows ever because it just like it scared me so terribly.

But now I'm kind of getting more comfortable in it, and I'm finding more of the excitement of the joy in it.

So I think that it's about time to start getting ready.

The bathroom is shared, so the biggest problem that I have with my skin personally is that it gets really dry.

My biggest thing is that I wear sunscreen every single day without fail.

But I forgot my sunscreen in Paris, which I'm just gonna have to like, let it go.

I'm like, particularly frankly, right now, because it's the end of summer.

Time is at 2 p.m. And I am starving, So I think I'm gonna grab a bite to eat before the show.

I got this dress, actually, really, recently on a vacation in Canada.

I have this theory that the best places to vintage shopper and actually the places that are super known for style it's actually the places that aren't on the map whatsoever.

Like the best vintage shopping I've ever found in the world.

It's a secret, but Scotland Scotland is the best vintage shopping, actually, to take the Eurostar back to Paris right after the show.

Packed into one bag, I'm checking out of room to await its task.

England trying to decide between avocado toast and cheese toasty.

I feel like I'm meeting with a little toddler.

Like I had my like, grilled cheese on my chocolate milk and I'm like thistles what it's like and the life of an adult.

So I originally and from a small town in East Texas called Beaumont, And then when I was around eight, I moved to Austin up until really just like a couple of years ago, the modeling industry really existed within.

Okay, so we have straight size models and we have plus size models.

But there was really, like, no one to represent in between.

To me plus size, it's just the term that's used for models that aren't, you know, uh, a you know, size zero.

And so because people are like, Oh, whoa, we don't have a label for that.

I guess I remember the first time that I ever got a hate comment.

You know, like I I had a really hard time dealing with it.

But, you know, through help from my family, especially my mom and my best friends, I kind of like started to shift my focus from okay, there's something wrong with me and there's not something wrong with the people who said it, but, like, I don't think that anybody who feels good about themselves would try to take somebody else down.

And so once I I realize that I realize, like, okay, I can move forward knowing that, like, if I think I'm beautiful than you know, what's to stop me from doing anything?

Okay, so I have to get to this moment show now I'm kind of late, so way go.

I think because last time I had such a pleasant experience walking for the show.

I know that I'm going to get there and like everyone's gonna take care of me.

I'm gonna be working with people that I really admire and enjoy working with.

The show today is gonna be at Alexandra Palace.

And yesterday, when I was doing my fitting, I was talking to someone who said that the British people call it Ali.

So I have to whisper right now because I'm being interviewed over theirs.

Just Okay, so I just finished shooting the campaign.

And so now I'm gonna change out of these and then go to here.

So the collection was originally inspired by the Irish rent boys.

Traditionally, they would hunt the Rand Bird ST Stephen's Day.

They're almost, like trick or treaters, so they're a little bit spooky and a little bit rebellious on a little bit, hunk.

I just thought, even though you're not irish, you have such a beautiful natural Irish calorie that you had to be fired.

I just think you're such an inspirational beauty.

So we've got all of these feathers from Irish birds.

Were body painting down the middle of the forehead.

So pretty now I have to hurry and go to rehearsal, which is basically where shoes on.

So we're really getting into, like, the last 20 minutes before the show.

So everyone has to do their last touches.

Okay, we have to really rush because it's 10 minutes until the show's get way.

We're getting ready to go on the runway, and I'm so excited.

Thank you guys, for pulling me around all day.

 It's been so fun, but now I have to cut my Eurostar back to Paris.
