“My resolution for 2009 is to project a healthy lifestyle for myself, of course, and for the people in my industry. I feel like it’s our responsibility to take care of the kids we are working with and let them know that if this isn’t the industry for them and they can’t be in it and still be healthy, then move on.” - Michelle Lee, KCD’s casting director, in an interview on Supreme’s blog.

Remember last month, when Agyness Deyn “starred” in a short video for The New York Times as a drugged-out goddess of love? Turns out it was the beginning of a trend.

This weekend, the Times posted their second video on T Magazine’s manically excellent website, and guess who was in it?

The original LC, Lily Cole.

She’s appearing as a little sister in the family drama T Takes, which also stars Kate Mara and Charlie Cox. The series is directed by Brody Baker, who has no IMDB profile but does appear on Supreme’s model blog for throwing Josh Hartnett a birthday party.

You can see the series trailer here, and Lily says eight words in it.

Britt rode the subway to work this morning, sandwiched in the middle of six strapping male models. The three from England, signed to DNA, ran into a group of three from New York, signed to Red (of course they all knew each other). They entertained her from Bedford Ave to Union Sq. with this conversation that’s too good not to share:

Model 1: Hey dude! How’s it goin’ man?

Model 2: Sweet man. I just got back from Japan.

Model 1: Sick! How was it?

Model 2: So sweet dude. I mean Japan’s awesome. You just drink all night and shoot all day. I mean, no one cares if you show up drunk as long as you’re on time. It’s all about being on time there.

Model 3: Did you see the new Japanese Dazed?

Model 4: Yeah man! We’re in it, fucking blitzed out of our minds. Can you tell? That shoot was amazing.

Model 3: Yeah dude, it’s sick. The only good magazine over there. They launched Vogue Hommes last week but they put Ash on the cover!

Model 5: Ash and Josh, dude. They’re everywhere. I was back in London and everywhere you look in the Tube it’s Josh in the Levi’s campaign. I mean, it’s like, really?

Here’s one for you modelizers out there:

We hear DNA Models is absorbing Public Image, the guys’ modeling agency that used to be IMG Men.

The “news” makes sense, considering PI’s primary investor was recently murdered, and - according to one model familiar with the news - “because DNA’s all about pretty boys, and Public Image has tons of them.”

So what does this affect?

Basically nothing, but we thought you’d like to know before WWD told you.

Meanwhile, have you heard the rumor about Nadia, the mysterious fourth founder of Women/Supreme, realizing she actually owns a part of the agency and wanting to sell her shares of the company?

Oh, silly models. The things you tell us…

Following our streak of inappropriate blog titles, we’ve got the funniest model comp yet, from Supreme’s Rachel Clark.

As provided by the Casting Director, we see Rachel’s image for her show card, the big photo that agencies send to casting directors, designers, and show producers to get girls booked on the catwalks.

But of course, you’ll notice something vital that’s missing from the card:

Rachel’s head.

It’s all very witty, and the American model’s body is sick, but we still have to wonder:

Does this mean she can walk down the runway with a bag over her head?

Because somehow, we can picture Jeremy Scott or Gareth Pugh being very into that…

One of our big Top Model peeves is that nearly all the girls are too old to begin a modeling career. Right now, most of the top girls are 19 and 20, and the ones that are 25-30 (Irina, Raquel, Angela, Missy) have been working for a long time. Even Agyness, 24, has been stomping in England since early 2000, although her big pickup didn’t come for two years.

But if Tyra’s girls are too old, are the V Model finalists a bit too young?

We realize that Gemma and Stam started working around age 15, but two of the five V finalists - who win a contract with Supreme and a spread on the magazine’s website - are in junior high, with Tennessee native Ashley Hanks (left) clocking in at thirteen years old.

She looks incredible, as do all the other girls, and we’re grateful to V for keeping their search realistically focused on girls who can really be models.

But there’s one problem:

If Ashley (or 14-year-old Dara, or 15-year-old Amanda) wins the Supreme contract, they won’t be able to participate in Fashion Week - at least not according to the CFDA, who ruled last year that girls under 16 can’t walk.
