On her profile, @adrianalima, which is followed by 6.6 million people, she posted a picture of her face without make-up, together with a caption saying: “Sometimes, people question, that model life is easy, and that’s wrong (…). Today I had 10 hours of work day, shooting with a very bad cold, coughing no stop and a massive headache. That did not stop me on doing what I love. I finished, went to the airport, to come back home to see my 2 princesses. Arriving there, my flight was over 3 hours delayed.(…) Just waked home 2am. Happy to be here. And wanted to share the face of a hardworking model, and share that I am not the only one that works this hard. Thank you. (…) Love u all.”
It is a beautiful mixture of passion and hard work. However, it has the purpose of showing that modeling is not an easy task. And that you have to be tough to go through it.
