“Define ‘silly,’ I ask. Sillier than Ms Linda Evangelista’s famous $10,000 a day to get out of bed?” said Tyson.
“You know when Linda said that it set the bar for every other model - everyone just upped their day rates. It was hilarious. All the models – women and men – were like, ‘Remind me to send Linda flowers!'”
I once walked in a fashion show - literally, just walked - for no more than a minute or two and they paid me a silly amount of money.
$40,000. I was like, ‘Really? You don’t have to give me that!”
