Not just good looks: models with higher education

There is a popular prejudice that girls are divided into smart and beautiful. It is difficult to find a more offensive and groundless stereotype. They especially like to say about models that, they say, they are all stupid. That's so radical about everyone. Most likely, this opinion arises because a modeling career begins at a young age, many do not have time to finish their studies. But we know models who have not only built a dizzying career, but also managed to graduate from university.

True, she had to leave school for a modeling career, but they say that she still received a diploma.
