Despite a lack of obvious similarities between Siberia and Tokyo, a thriving model industry connects these distant regions. Girl Model follows two protagonists involved in this industry: Ashley, a deeply ambivalent model scout who scours the Siberian countryside looking for fresh faces to send to the Japanese market, and one of her discoveries, Nadya, a thirteen year old plucked from the Siberian countryside and dropped into the center of Tokyo with promises of a profitable career. After Ashley's initial discovery of Nadya, the two rarely meet again, but their stories are inextricably bound. As Nadya's optimism about rescuing her family from their financial difficulties grows, her dreams contrast against Ashley's more jaded outlook about the industry's corrosive influence.

00:01:05.505 --> 00:01:05.795
- Okay.
00:03:08.710 --> 00:03:10.450
- Do you want 21?
00:03:11.860 --> 00:03:13.805
Not for me, but check.
00:04:08.395 --> 00:04:10.445
- Want to try? No,
00:04:20.380 --> 00:04:21.380
- She does.
00:04:21.380 --> 00:04:23.410
Maybe never have the body though.
00:04:23.410 --> 00:04:25.065
- She
- Been more fat.
00:04:25.065 --> 00:04:28.210
- Oh. Oh she really, wow.
There's some cute girls though.
00:04:28.210 --> 00:04:29.210
There's some nice ones.
00:04:30.760 --> 00:04:34.405
- Wow.
- How old is she?
00:04:38.755 --> 00:04:39.755
I'll try.
00:04:54.145 --> 00:04:56.205
- She looks like 25 already. Oh yeah.
00:04:57.995 --> 00:05:02.560
- It's problem.
- I, I am looking
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.130
for a specific type of, of girl
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.040
for the Japanese market.
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:10.930
Everybody has their own vision of beauty
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:13.390
and it's hard sometimes
00:05:13.390 --> 00:05:17.710
to bypass my own personal
aesthetic preferences.
00:05:17.710 --> 00:05:21.550
But for Japan, it is quite specific.
00:05:22.450 --> 00:05:25.480
So the girls have to be a
certain height, not too tall.
00:05:27.490 --> 00:05:29.680
Cute Young. Young is very important.
00:05:34.570 --> 00:05:35.920
It's not entirely up to me.
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.820
I make note of what I see
today, then I review it
00:05:39.820 --> 00:05:40.870
with our board In Tokyo.
00:05:40.870 --> 00:05:45.340
We have Masako, our
booker, Messiah, the owner,
00:05:45.340 --> 00:05:46.930
Kazumi another booker.
00:05:46.930 --> 00:05:47.980
So it's a group decision
00:05:49.060 --> 00:05:53.620
and often it's not, it's not
what I believe is the best.
00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:55.510
And sometimes the girl
that I think is so amazing
00:05:55.510 --> 00:05:56.830
for Japan doesn't work at all.
00:05:56.830 --> 00:06:00.620
So that's what's exciting
about this business is it's
00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:02.600
totally unpredictable.
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.160
So nobody knows.
00:06:25.910 --> 00:06:29.120
Very good for Japan. It's
like our growing stuff.
00:06:40.635 --> 00:06:43.640
Okay. Filming? No, no.
Yeah. I'm gonna video her.
00:07:01.880 --> 00:07:02.930
- Okay. Stay here. Nadia,
00:07:03.830 --> 00:07:05.210
- Can you come here closer?
00:07:06.830 --> 00:07:08.240
Closer. Can you open your hair?
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.295
Say hello Nadia.
00:07:17.295 --> 00:07:19.790
- Hello. My name is Nadia. I'm certain
00:07:23.270 --> 00:07:24.270
- From Novo.
00:07:24.270 --> 00:07:24.270
Severe.
00:07:29.115 --> 00:07:34.010
Okay. Lemme just see. Just
see how long it is. Okay.
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.045
Perfect. Thank you. Eva.
00:07:49.515 --> 00:07:53.845
Okay. Hello. Hello.
00:10:39.925 --> 00:10:44.655
- He's an exception. What's up? What's up?
00:10:44.655 --> 00:10:46.815
What's up? What's up?
00:10:52.590 --> 00:10:54.270
- I love to travel.
00:10:56.375 --> 00:11:00.960
I love the trains. Especially
the toilets. I miss them.
00:11:01.890 --> 00:11:05.550
I miss this. You know, the
concept of Noah was simple.
00:11:05.550 --> 00:11:08.610
Just, just like Noah
saved all the animals.
00:11:08.610 --> 00:11:10.920
I'm trying to save all these young girls.
00:11:10.920 --> 00:11:14.130
That's what I'm doing. I'm
putting them on the plane,
00:11:14.130 --> 00:11:16.830
sending them to the
west, giving them chance
00:11:16.830 --> 00:11:21.830
where they can find
themselves, develop as women,
00:11:22.410 --> 00:11:24.075
grow as individuals.
00:11:24.075 --> 00:11:25.110
And I hope
00:11:25.110 --> 00:11:28.110
that someday they'll do some
good to the other people.
00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:32.160
So in a way, for me, this
is a religious matter.
00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:36.375
You know, this is my
Bible. I shall, sorry.
00:11:39.690 --> 00:11:41.820
Lastly will be my western partner.
00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:46.560
We also have problems in the West
00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:50.400
and it's also difficult
uphill battle there,
00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:51.600
but it's a different problem.
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:55.000
So together we'll be a great team.
00:11:57.460 --> 00:12:00.490
The depth of the psychology
involved, you know, we go very,
00:12:00.490 --> 00:12:03.790
very deep with a girl trying
to understand all her problems,
00:12:03.790 --> 00:12:05.920
trying to understand the parents.
00:12:05.920 --> 00:12:09.760
And we, we sort of at
the end form a profile
00:12:09.760 --> 00:12:13.480
and we try to sort of replace
the, those fathers for them
00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:16.780
and support them any way we can.
00:12:18.130 --> 00:12:20.830
You know, in certain
cities you must have trust,
00:12:20.830 --> 00:12:22.660
trustworthy people.
00:12:22.660 --> 00:12:26.860
So then they can find the girls
00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:28.810
at much earlier stage
00:12:28.810 --> 00:12:31.960
and sort of pre-screen
them until we get there.
00:12:33.520 --> 00:12:35.380
This is strategically very important
00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:38.440
before anybody else can get there.
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:39.440
We'll have the girls
00:12:43.330 --> 00:12:43.990
- For
- Here. I
00:12:43.990 --> 00:12:44.990
- Have some pictures.
00:12:45.880 --> 00:12:50.620
- Yeah, those are pretty,
she's so cute. Yes.
00:12:51.640 --> 00:12:54.160
Can you send me her pictures
just to follow? Yeah, sure.
00:12:57.490 --> 00:12:59.890
They love skinny girls in Japan
00:12:59.890 --> 00:13:03.280
and she has a fresh, young face.
00:13:03.280 --> 00:13:07.455
She looks young, almost like a pubescent
00:13:07.455 --> 00:13:08.455
- Girl.
00:16:28.175 --> 00:16:30.890
- It is a great freedom not to be employed
00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:36.350
in a nine to five job,
00:16:40.850 --> 00:16:45.740
but I dunno, the business of modeling is
00:16:48.140 --> 00:16:51.110
not something I feel
necessarily passionate about.
00:16:54.020 --> 00:16:58.820
'cause it really has no, no weight.
00:17:03.530 --> 00:17:05.000
It changes minute by minute
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:07.880
and nobody, there's,
it's based on nothing.
00:17:09.380 --> 00:17:10.880
If you start to look at all those girls
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:11.960
and you really look at each one
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:14.720
and you bring them close to
you, and you look in their eyes
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.900
and you look at their faces, you can start
00:17:18.830 --> 00:17:22.040
to see their age and their experience.
00:17:23.300 --> 00:17:26.900
And that business is obsessed with youth.
00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:29.090
And especially my business in Japan.
00:17:29.090 --> 00:17:30.290
You can't be young enough.
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:35.810
And youth is, is beautiful.
00:17:37.310 --> 00:17:38.720
'cause there's the luminosity,
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:40.160
there's something in the skin,
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.130
there's something innocent.
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.680
And that's what my eye has
been trained to see from Japan.
00:17:57.270 --> 00:18:00.480
So I look at beauty and I think
of young girls. Beautiful.
00:20:54.490 --> 00:20:55.405
- Those three are special.
00:22:12.405 --> 00:22:16.960
- Hi. We had a really
good casting yesterday.
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:19.330
Really beautiful girls. Quite productive.
00:22:19.330 --> 00:22:20.680
There were like 200 girls,
00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:29.140
probably like six girls, seven girls.
00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:33.670
So I wanna pick maybe 30
really great girls that I know.
00:22:33.670 --> 00:22:38.260
I can confirm. Okay, T Grand.
We'll talk to you again. Okay.
00:22:38.260 --> 00:22:40.930
Bye. Well,
00:22:40.930 --> 00:22:43.750
T Brand is a really hardcore business.
00:22:43.750 --> 00:22:45.940
You know, he's, he's done
00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:47.590
what nobody else in
this business has done,
00:22:47.590 --> 00:22:48.640
like the money he's made.
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:48.760
And
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:57.640
whereas when I work with Japan,
they don't know what I do,
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:02.640
where I go, as long as I bring
them the girls, I have no
00:23:03.430 --> 00:23:05.530
like, job description of what I do
00:23:05.530 --> 00:23:07.960
or what I'm supposed to bring them.
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:09.460
They cover my expenses
00:23:09.460 --> 00:23:12.280
and I get a commission
of whatever I bring them.
00:23:14.020 --> 00:23:17.830
So that is freedom. I can kind of get away
00:23:17.830 --> 00:23:19.990
with not really caring about
this business that much,
00:23:24.790 --> 00:23:27.010
but I never like to think
of myself as an ex model.
00:23:27.010 --> 00:23:29.560
I never like to bring that point up.
00:23:31.450 --> 00:23:34.030
But of course, it, it does
bring a different insight.
00:23:35.650 --> 00:23:37.060
But I was the person that hated this
00:23:37.060 --> 00:23:38.170
business more than anybody.
00:23:38.170 --> 00:23:41.260
And now I'm 15 years in it.
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:03.950
- This whole place is hurting me too much.
00:24:03.950 --> 00:24:06.710
Even if I do 10 jobs
in the next two weeks,
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:08.780
it won't be any money for me
00:24:08.780 --> 00:24:10.250
by the time I cover my expenses.
00:24:12.050 --> 00:24:14.630
Obsession is so boring to me these days.
00:24:14.630 --> 00:24:17.060
Like, hey, don't even
like to look at magazines.
00:24:17.060 --> 00:24:18.890
- I mean, I do, but it's just all the same
00:24:18.890 --> 00:24:20.060
stuff all the time.
00:24:21.260 --> 00:24:23.750
Anyone who does it must be an idiot.
00:24:25.670 --> 00:24:26.690
So whatcha trying to say,
00:24:30.500 --> 00:24:32.090
- What would you rather do?
00:24:32.090 --> 00:24:33.170
Lottery. Yeah.
00:24:38.090 --> 00:24:40.100
Girl. What happened to you in Tokyo? Huh?
00:24:42.140 --> 00:24:45.830
What's this twister taking you away for?
00:24:47.690 --> 00:24:48.735
Is it really worth it?
00:25:53.475 --> 00:25:57.295
- Oh no, they speak English. Yeah.
00:26:18.305 --> 00:26:19.415
David, David
00:27:05.005 --> 00:27:06.895
- Height this.
00:27:06.895 --> 00:27:11.625
Okay. Height this.
00:27:15.415 --> 00:27:18.785
Okay, nice.
00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:24.840
- I'm sorry. Take off your shoes
00:27:25.800 --> 00:27:26.800
- Shirt.
00:27:26.800 --> 00:27:29.545
- Okay. Mm.
- What shirt?
00:27:31.080 --> 00:27:34.205
- Take off? Shoes
- Cover. Oh,
00:27:34.205 --> 00:27:35.525
- Oh yeah, yeah.
00:27:35.525 --> 00:27:37.585
- Oh yeah. Oh
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:43.245 --> 00:27:44.245
All
00:29:06.930 --> 00:29:08.370
- To live in a glass
- House.
00:29:13.230 --> 00:29:15.845
It's great in the daytime,
but scary at night.
00:29:15.845 --> 00:29:18.810
I, when I stay here alone, I get scared
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:24.150
because it's like, if you're
inside with the lights on,
00:29:24.150 --> 00:29:27.085
people can see you,
but you can't see them.
00:29:27.085 --> 00:29:28.740
And then there's like weird sounds
00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:31.365
and it's pretty isolating.
00:29:31.365 --> 00:29:32.365
Yeah.
00:29:41.105 --> 00:29:42.280
- Oh, they're sleeping.
00:29:46.270 --> 00:29:47.500
- One boy and one girl.
00:29:52.660 --> 00:29:54.700
I got home from like a dollar store
00:29:54.700 --> 00:29:57.190
or something when I bought my house.
00:29:57.190 --> 00:29:58.815
I got the babies at the same time
00:29:58.815 --> 00:30:03.670
because I felt like I had a
home, so I should have a baby.
00:30:05.530 --> 00:30:07.030
I was 23 at the time.
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:11.770
I had three, but then I dissected one.
00:30:15.040 --> 00:30:16.330
I mean, the models
00:30:16.330 --> 00:30:18.550
that we meet in Russia
are really little girls,
00:30:18.550 --> 00:30:20.290
just the babies.
00:30:20.290 --> 00:30:21.730
But they're not my children.
00:30:21.730 --> 00:30:24.580
I mean, I'm, I'm not at
that point yet, like that.
00:30:24.580 --> 00:30:27.430
I'm sort of in that, that precarious place
00:30:27.430 --> 00:30:28.810
where they don't really know.
00:30:28.810 --> 00:30:30.640
Like, can they be my friend?
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:32.200
I care about the girls a lot,
00:30:33.100 --> 00:30:35.200
but I don't, I don't feel like inspired.
00:30:36.280 --> 00:30:41.050
But yeah, I don't know.
00:30:41.050 --> 00:30:42.855
No, I do, I do really
care about the girls.
00:30:42.855 --> 00:30:47.080
I just, I don't feel so,
00:30:48.445 --> 00:30:52.775
like, I have some huge, you know, big, big
00:30:53.705 --> 00:30:56.800
truth to tell them about
the amazing business
00:30:56.800 --> 00:31:00.070
that I'm gonna like change their lives
00:31:00.070 --> 00:31:02.170
and make them have be fulfilled.
00:31:02.170 --> 00:31:04.540
Because it's very tough,
very tough business.
00:31:09.645 --> 00:31:09.935
- Okay.
00:33:17.390 --> 00:33:19.700
- I am trying to remember how I felt
00:33:20.570 --> 00:33:23.090
the first time I landed in Japan.
00:33:26.330 --> 00:33:29.930
I just, I'm having a hard time
remembering the first flight.
00:33:29.930 --> 00:33:31.820
But I remember walking into the agency
00:33:32.870 --> 00:33:35.270
and meeting Masako, who was my booker.
00:33:41.270 --> 00:33:43.220
The Japanese always want something new
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:46.910
and is the best place
for the new face to come.
00:33:46.910 --> 00:33:49.340
So T Grand wants to
send his models to Japan
00:33:49.340 --> 00:33:52.250
and Messiah wants to
receive the new models.
00:33:53.900 --> 00:33:55.490
It's more convenient
to have me in New York
00:33:55.490 --> 00:33:58.730
where I can meet girls in New
York, fly to Europe, you know,
00:33:58.730 --> 00:34:00.440
cover certain regions.
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:03.620
So they, they pay me a small
commission to be the scout.
00:34:05.600 --> 00:34:08.180
It's Messiah's 40 and the models are 13.
00:34:10.190 --> 00:34:12.445
So Messiah mess,
00:34:15.740 --> 00:34:16.880
Isiah Switch.
00:34:18.080 --> 00:34:22.850
He loves the, I mean he loves models.
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:30.205
- Foot by by foot. We go, ah, you know.
00:34:43.625 --> 00:34:44.965
Ah, 15, 15.
00:34:54.055 --> 00:34:56.695
- Three, two. Action.
00:34:56.695 --> 00:34:59.565
- Hello, my name is, I'm 15 years old.
00:36:51.915 --> 00:36:52.985
- Thank you. Thank you.
00:37:38.310 --> 00:37:42.360
- Many, many questions but don't answer.
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:47.280
I don't, I don't hear, hear, answer. Why
00:37:54.120 --> 00:37:55.120
- Discuss?
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:15.450
- I would say that the
main issue for me is
00:38:15.450 --> 00:38:18.930
that there is a lot of
13, 14, 15 years old girl.
00:38:18.930 --> 00:38:20.460
I mean there is two in Europe
00:38:20.460 --> 00:38:23.430
and all the say that they're
saying that, oh no, no,
00:38:23.430 --> 00:38:24.510
in Europe, in America,
00:38:24.510 --> 00:38:26.790
they don't use any girl under 16 anymore.
00:38:26.790 --> 00:38:29.970
But the girls, I see them,
the casting, I talk to them.
00:38:29.970 --> 00:38:31.530
But who is to blame?
00:38:31.530 --> 00:38:33.930
We can't blame the girls
because they're just being sent.
00:38:33.930 --> 00:38:37.240
We can't blame the families
because maybe there are in need.
00:38:37.240 --> 00:38:39.130
Can we blame the agency that take them on?
00:38:39.130 --> 00:38:40.660
Because a client will take them.
00:38:40.660 --> 00:38:42.580
Can we blame the clients that will pretend
00:38:42.580 --> 00:38:44.500
or won't know actually how old
00:38:44.500 --> 00:38:47.770
or those girl, there's
no one to blame their,
00:38:47.770 --> 00:38:49.090
but the whole thing is still wrong.
00:38:49.090 --> 00:38:51.970
It's all, they all play blind. Really?
00:38:51.970 --> 00:38:54.730
And if they use 13, 14
years old girl, it means,
00:38:54.730 --> 00:38:56.620
did you not want any girl that are
00:38:58.990 --> 00:39:00.010
a shape of a woman?
00:39:00.010 --> 00:39:01.010
Really?
00:39:13.150 --> 00:39:15.490
- Seven for most Russia.
00:39:15.490 --> 00:39:19.510
So you start from area
code me, I don't know.
00:39:19.510 --> 00:39:23.500
It's your number. Is that area?
00:39:23.500 --> 00:39:27.730
Code area? Do you have a dictionary?
00:39:29.050 --> 00:39:33.160
Dictionary. Dictionary. You have a book?
00:39:35.710 --> 00:39:40.150
No. In Russian English
book. You have bring, bring.
00:39:41.290 --> 00:39:41.530
Yes.
00:39:51.970 --> 00:39:56.970
So seven is Russia.
00:39:57.160 --> 00:39:58.160
And you put,
00:40:03.225 --> 00:40:03.875
- Yeah. Yes.
00:40:04.765 --> 00:40:05.115
- Press
00:40:14.485 --> 00:40:15.515
- Write down your number.
00:40:23.435 --> 00:40:26.995
It's not in service. We can get this.
00:40:27.905 --> 00:40:28.955
This one doesn't work.
00:40:42.145 --> 00:40:45.595
- It's oh asleep. Yeah,
00:40:48.375 --> 00:40:48.915
- It is not,
00:40:55.225 --> 00:40:59.735
don't want, but you
don't want Mom, it's not
00:41:09.575 --> 00:41:09.865
told
00:41:54.425 --> 00:41:54.740
- The thing
00:42:05.955 --> 00:42:06.175
mom.
00:42:07.535 --> 00:42:10.520
Which is that? Hello
00:42:24.105 --> 00:42:25.105
- To you.
00:42:25.105 --> 00:42:29.420
Joking. Like, here's me getting
my, my hair done in Japan.
00:42:30.590 --> 00:42:33.650
I remember the birth being a model
00:42:33.650 --> 00:42:35.900
and I hated it so much.
00:42:35.900 --> 00:42:38.480
I, I've never been so down.
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:41.540
I remember days where I
would just literally stay
00:42:41.540 --> 00:42:44.810
in my apartment and
stay in my bed all day.
00:42:44.810 --> 00:42:47.000
I just couldn't even get out of bed.
00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:48.260
I just didn't know what to do with myself.
00:42:48.260 --> 00:42:52.400
I felt so depressed. Like
all I would think about is,
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:53.480
okay, what am I gonna do?
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:55.010
What am I gonna really do with my life?
00:42:55.010 --> 00:42:58.460
Okay, why am I doing
this? When can I go home?
00:43:00.725 --> 00:43:04.280
I, I realized that I didn't
actually have to have a death
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:06.620
of modeling 'cause I started scouting
00:43:06.620 --> 00:43:09.740
and I could actually now be in control.
00:43:09.740 --> 00:43:12.740
And that was fun because I
could decide when I wanna travel
00:43:12.740 --> 00:43:14.810
and I could pick the models.
00:43:14.810 --> 00:43:16.280
And I was still a model.
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:19.520
So all my friends were
models, a lot of them.
00:43:19.520 --> 00:43:21.320
So I just started sending them to Japan.
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:23.900
So right away I had an
instantaneous business.
00:43:26.750 --> 00:43:28.880
The best thing I did
was buy my little house.
00:43:30.140 --> 00:43:31.670
And then I made more money when I
00:43:31.670 --> 00:43:33.230
sold it, which I'm doing now.
00:43:33.230 --> 00:43:34.850
So I'm actually reaping the benefits
00:43:34.850 --> 00:43:36.290
of my modeling career right now.
00:43:49.010 --> 00:43:51.320
So this is my favorite little spots.
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.990
I had these boxes made for
these little mini prints.
00:43:58.545 --> 00:43:59.540
The stockings,
00:44:03.470 --> 00:44:06.500
see the hands, gestures.
00:44:11.510 --> 00:44:13.940
See I'm trying to hide
my camera under the table
00:44:17.180 --> 00:44:19.010
so that they don't know
that I'm photographing.
00:44:20.720 --> 00:44:22.520
Sometimes I wouldn't
photograph the girl's face,
00:44:22.520 --> 00:44:25.760
I just photograph her feet or her hands.
00:44:34.080 --> 00:44:37.530
Sometimes I would try to find
the legs, match the legs.
00:44:37.530 --> 00:44:40.560
Which legs went with which which body?
00:44:42.450 --> 00:44:46.470
Hey, does that work?
That works, doesn't it?
00:44:46.470 --> 00:44:51.150
Wait, oh no. Doesn't
work. Wait. Almost works.
00:44:51.990 --> 00:44:55.800
This is the same. This is
the same bath suit though.
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:57.900
Look, that fits that.
00:44:57.900 --> 00:45:01.055
I just didn't, if I had it
on a tripod, then I could
00:45:23.520 --> 00:45:24.520
- What?
00:45:24.520 --> 00:45:25.895
Tokyo station. What material?
00:45:45.060 --> 00:45:49.350
Oh, I love this Mario Sauce.
00:45:57.365 --> 00:45:58.695
- Theta's my favorite actress.
00:46:22.015 --> 00:46:22.305
- Yeah,
00:46:52.980 --> 00:46:54.510
- A lot of times you do shoots
00:46:54.510 --> 00:46:56.610
and you never see the pictures in the end.
00:46:56.610 --> 00:46:59.400
The pictures can be sold
to a magazine afterwards
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:00.900
and she won't make any money
00:47:00.900 --> 00:47:02.640
because agencies don't want you
00:47:02.640 --> 00:47:04.230
to know what's going on anyway.
00:47:05.250 --> 00:47:07.290
It's better for them because
if you don't really know what's
00:47:07.290 --> 00:47:08.970
going on, how much you're getting paid,
00:47:08.970 --> 00:47:10.110
what are your expenses?
00:47:10.110 --> 00:47:12.120
They can get more money out of you.
00:47:13.445 --> 00:47:15.360
You have to be really
on top of everything.
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:18.420
And 13 years old won't
be on top of everything.
00:47:18.420 --> 00:47:21.270
Should be like, oh my
God, I'm going to Japan.
00:47:21.270 --> 00:47:22.530
I have all those jobs booked.
00:47:22.530 --> 00:47:24.210
I'm gonna make that much money. At least.
00:47:24.210 --> 00:47:26.730
But they don't know that
they're not getting those jobs.
00:47:27.660 --> 00:47:28.950
They'll just take advantage of
00:47:49.060 --> 00:47:49.210
- Taxi,
00:47:57.255 --> 00:47:59.665
- Taxi,
- Taxi.
00:48:02.890 --> 00:48:05.710
I don't know if short
term would be defined
00:48:05.710 --> 00:48:08.140
by like 12 years of traveling.
00:48:08.140 --> 00:48:11.980
It's like more than short
term. It's an addiction.
00:48:15.700 --> 00:48:17.680
It really is an addiction.
00:48:21.010 --> 00:48:22.365
And then I stick with what I know.
00:48:22.365 --> 00:48:27.340
'cause I'm, I'm sort of afraid
to really try new things.
00:48:30.850 --> 00:48:35.650
Once you've traveled and seen
so much, you sort of want
00:48:37.540 --> 00:48:38.560
that stimulus again.
00:48:38.560 --> 00:48:41.200
'cause there's a certain
stimulus with new places.
00:48:48.700 --> 00:48:50.560
Sorry, I was, I was just wanting
00:48:50.560 --> 00:48:53.500
to make sure I had it right. You had it
00:48:53.500 --> 00:48:54.880
- Right.
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:58.270
- I mean this is what I,
this is what I know the most.
00:48:58.270 --> 00:49:00.520
I started doing this when I was 17.
00:49:00.520 --> 00:49:01.660
It's just like something I know,
00:49:01.660 --> 00:49:04.510
but it's not something
that I necessarily, I need
00:49:04.510 --> 00:49:05.680
to be more business like.
00:49:05.680 --> 00:49:08.590
You, my business, you, you,
00:49:08.590 --> 00:49:10.930
you're business in this business.
00:49:10.930 --> 00:49:13.570
So many people aren't
business in this business. So,
00:49:15.940 --> 00:49:17.725
- Well, I mean there are a
couple of girls I wanna show
00:49:17.725 --> 00:49:19.930
that are extraordinary
00:49:19.930 --> 00:49:21.880
- And she's 13 or 12.
00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:25.085
- She will be turning 13 October. Amazing.
00:49:26.680 --> 00:49:28.540
- I mean if you catch the girl at 12,
00:49:28.540 --> 00:49:30.940
when these girls are in
these very delicate stages
00:49:30.940 --> 00:49:33.250
of their life, then you have more power
00:49:33.250 --> 00:49:35.380
or you have more influence
to guide and direct. It's
00:49:35.380 --> 00:49:37.750
- Not really the age, it's,
it's how mature they are.
00:49:37.750 --> 00:49:40.750
'cause at the age of 13, she has something
00:49:40.750 --> 00:49:42.340
that most people rarely have.
00:49:42.340 --> 00:49:43.660
And that's called dignity.
00:49:43.660 --> 00:49:46.600
That 13-year-old will
never go with a rich man,
00:49:46.600 --> 00:49:48.820
you know, for money.
00:49:48.820 --> 00:49:52.450
You know? Right. 'cause she'll
understand that, you know,
00:49:53.530 --> 00:49:56.050
she's much happier with the
a hundred thousand dollars
00:49:56.050 --> 00:49:59.680
that she earned or with the
50,000 that she earned than with
00:50:00.850 --> 00:50:04.150
$3 million that she gets from
this rich man doing nothing
00:50:04.150 --> 00:50:07.660
other than, you know, spreading
her legs in front of him.
00:50:07.660 --> 00:50:12.430
The 12-year-old or 13-year-old
would never do it. Okay.
00:50:12.430 --> 00:50:14.050
Now they're difficult growth.
00:50:14.890 --> 00:50:19.690
So to have a good effect of education,
00:50:19.690 --> 00:50:22.240
we sometimes take these
girls to the morgue
00:50:22.240 --> 00:50:23.710
and we show them these young girls
00:50:23.710 --> 00:50:26.590
or boys who did drugs and passed away.
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:30.020
That has everlasting effect.
00:50:30.020 --> 00:50:32.390
And if the model is still too hardheaded,
00:50:32.390 --> 00:50:34.760
we have the autopsy down in front of him.
00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:37.665
Believe me, that affects him so strongly.
00:50:37.665 --> 00:50:39.185
- You do that.
- Yeah.
00:50:39.185 --> 00:50:42.005
- So you call up, you call up
the Morgan St. Petersburg's.
00:50:42.005 --> 00:50:43.005
- That's right. And
- You find out.
00:50:44.105 --> 00:50:47.210
- That's right. And you
know, the worst part is
00:50:48.380 --> 00:50:50.300
when they realize they
could be in their place.
00:50:52.040 --> 00:50:54.860
And that has very, very
strong effect on them.
00:50:54.860 --> 00:50:58.550
Believe me, seeing a
dead young girl in front
00:50:58.550 --> 00:51:03.175
of you has a really strong
effect with an open body.
00:51:03.175 --> 00:51:04.175
You know,
00:51:09.465 --> 00:51:12.890
- And why you care so much or
how you came to care so much.
00:51:13.970 --> 00:51:17.060
- I think I was a very bad
person in my past life.
00:51:18.470 --> 00:51:21.740
So I'm back to pay my debt.
00:51:24.645 --> 00:51:28.165
I think I was a military
person. I know that.
00:51:29.005 --> 00:51:30.050
And I killed a lot of people.
00:51:31.550 --> 00:51:34.045
So I think I'm back to now help people.
00:51:38.105 --> 00:51:38.325
- So,
00:51:53.345 --> 00:51:55.805
oh, almost done.
00:52:33.035 --> 00:52:33.445
- It's a,
00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:57.770
maybe this article we have.
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:01.970
Yes, it's my country.
00:53:08.510 --> 00:53:12.082
This article. We hope and we hope we
00:53:26.310 --> 00:53:29.165
Hello, hello.
00:54:21.615 --> 00:54:22.785
I've watched it as much.
00:55:14.695 --> 00:55:17.850
- Well I've been scouting
with T Grand with Noah models
00:55:17.850 --> 00:55:20.490
and this is Noah models most recent fine.
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:25.800
But they have a real monopoly
on the Russian market
00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:27.990
because they have agencies
stretching all the way across
00:55:27.990 --> 00:55:30.120
Russia and they have 20 little offices.
00:55:30.120 --> 00:55:32.220
So they're scouting in that area
00:55:32.220 --> 00:55:35.190
and they're really getting, you know,
00:55:35.190 --> 00:55:36.240
first option all the girls.
00:55:36.240 --> 00:55:37.240
'cause there's little agencies.
00:55:38.790 --> 00:55:40.560
- Brilliant. Yes. He,
00:56:07.205 --> 00:56:07.685
I need this.
00:56:19.755 --> 00:56:24.670
- Let me see. This is the
bathroom. Yeah. Oh. Oh my gosh.
00:56:26.350 --> 00:56:28.900
Wow. That is a pretty bad one.
00:56:31.240 --> 00:56:35.110
- That's pretty bad. Well,
00:56:36.040 --> 00:56:37.300
what do we have out here?
00:56:38.440 --> 00:56:40.595
A garden. Oh yeah, we, we know.
00:57:01.630 --> 00:57:02.925
- So yes,
00:57:02.925 --> 00:57:04.505
- It's not, yeah,
00:57:07.245 --> 00:57:12.245
it's not the best models
apartment, but I guess it's okay.
00:57:12.460 --> 00:57:14.650
Yeah. Okay, so
00:57:19.330 --> 00:57:21.640
you're going to, I
mean, you're pretty busy
00:57:21.640 --> 00:57:24.430
with the castings and then
this weekend I think you have
00:57:24.430 --> 00:57:29.230
test shooting or Wait, is that funny?
00:57:29.230 --> 00:57:30.640
- No.
- Oh,
00:57:30.640 --> 00:57:32.950
- I not, I just look.
00:57:34.240 --> 00:57:35.380
Oh. Oh.
00:57:41.170 --> 00:57:44.350
And we didn't work this week
00:57:44.350 --> 00:57:47.005
and next week I
00:57:47.005 --> 00:57:48.005
- Don't work.
00:57:50.230 --> 00:57:55.060
- We don't know yet.
I, I know I don't work.
00:57:55.060 --> 00:57:58.210
Why? I don't know why
you feel you don't work.
00:58:00.040 --> 00:58:03.580
- I don't work in this week.
00:58:03.580 --> 00:58:08.290
Next week I, no, don't work
this week and this week.
00:58:08.290 --> 00:58:12.430
- Why? I don't know. This is your feeling.
00:58:12.430 --> 00:58:16.870
This is not the reality
because we don't know.
00:58:16.870 --> 00:58:19.450
'cause still every day
you're doing castings, right?
00:58:19.450 --> 00:58:22.690
- Yeah.
- But this week we know no job. Right.
00:58:22.690 --> 00:58:24.130
- No doubt.
- And then next week,
00:58:24.130 --> 00:58:25.690
casting, casting, casting,
00:58:25.690 --> 00:58:27.010
- Casting, casting. Not job,
00:58:27.010 --> 00:58:29.440
- But maybe the next week you have a job.
00:58:31.150 --> 00:58:31.750
- I don't dunno.
00:58:39.940 --> 00:58:42.825
- Okay. Alright.
00:59:07.595 --> 00:59:08.595
Okay.
00:59:25.965 --> 00:59:29.965
- I wanted out of life was
00:59:33.005 --> 00:59:34.450
I want my own
00:59:34.450 --> 00:59:35.450
- Security.
00:59:36.675 --> 00:59:39.680
When I go back and read a
lot of my writings, a lot
00:59:39.680 --> 00:59:41.660
of the times I've been
modeling, I feel really
00:59:43.160 --> 00:59:44.160
- Scared.
00:59:46.370 --> 00:59:48.770
I get so obsessed about money
and I just have to chill out.
00:59:51.260 --> 00:59:53.960
- I don't know, sometimes I think I am
00:59:53.960 --> 00:59:55.100
not being professional.
00:59:55.100 --> 00:59:57.680
You know, there's a lot
of things that I've done
00:59:57.680 --> 00:59:59.270
that are bad in the business,
00:59:59.270 --> 01:00:00.920
but I always try to play it off like I'm
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:01.920
- So good.
01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:03.620
But maybe I'm not really that good at all.
01:00:10.675 --> 01:00:14.750
It's just growing, it's
producing, it's very active,
01:00:14.750 --> 01:00:16.490
you know, it's just doing its own thing.
01:00:17.480 --> 01:00:19.970
I mean, I would be happy
to be four months pregnant
01:00:19.970 --> 01:00:22.760
with a healthy thing.
01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:27.440
But this is just something
that's growing for no reason.
01:00:27.440 --> 01:00:29.120
That eventually will have to be taken out.
01:00:30.050 --> 01:00:33.140
One is here and one is here,
01:00:34.490 --> 01:00:35.690
they said is right at the top.
01:00:35.690 --> 01:00:39.860
They just open it and there
it is sitting right there.
01:00:42.620 --> 01:00:47.270
So one is a
01:00:47.270 --> 01:00:50.480
fibroid and one is a cyst.
01:00:54.440 --> 01:00:57.290
But hopefully it will be alright.
01:00:57.290 --> 01:01:01.160
In 10 days from now, I get
01:01:02.450 --> 01:01:03.875
operated on by a robot.
01:01:11.195 --> 01:01:11.665
- Thank you.
01:02:10.395 --> 01:02:10.875
- Sunrise.
01:02:56.070 --> 01:02:57.070
Let's see.
01:03:02.910 --> 01:03:05.070
- I have diaries.
01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:08.340
Probably more videotapes.
01:03:10.290 --> 01:03:12.240
This is the truest evidence.
01:03:29.040 --> 01:03:30.600
All the girls just wanna get out.
01:03:30.600 --> 01:03:32.670
So they try, like they can be athletes,
01:03:32.670 --> 01:03:35.040
they can be gymnasts,
they can be ballerinas,
01:03:35.040 --> 01:03:37.020
they can be models,
they can be prostitutes.
01:03:43.200 --> 01:03:45.990
Most of the time they
do a combination of both
01:03:45.990 --> 01:03:47.490
or I mean often.
01:03:47.490 --> 01:03:48.720
Yeah, they do.
01:03:50.790 --> 01:03:54.300
There's certain agencies,
like a high class agencies
01:03:54.300 --> 01:03:56.940
that will help facilitate.
01:03:58.230 --> 01:04:00.840
And especially once, if
you have the experience
01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:04.560
of making money, and you are
a model, you only know how
01:04:04.560 --> 01:04:05.640
to make money as a model.
01:04:05.640 --> 01:04:07.920
If you're not making money as a model,
01:04:07.920 --> 01:04:10.110
you just know you're a beautiful
girl who uses her body.
01:04:10.110 --> 01:04:14.760
So it's kind of natural
to think, well I could,
01:04:14.760 --> 01:04:17.160
I saw my body for the camera
01:04:17.160 --> 01:04:22.140
and what's the difference
even did you see, you know,
01:04:22.140 --> 01:04:23.970
the DVDs I gave you?
01:04:23.970 --> 01:04:25.800
And you could see sometimes
the girl presented
01:04:25.800 --> 01:04:26.940
herself in a certain way.
01:04:26.940 --> 01:04:28.590
The castings in Russia.
01:04:28.590 --> 01:04:31.800
Sometimes it was clearly like
she was presenting herself
01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:32.850
as a sex object.
01:04:32.850 --> 01:04:34.470
Sometimes she was just a young girl.
01:04:35.310 --> 01:04:38.040
I mean, those, those tapes
are widely distributed.
01:04:39.270 --> 01:04:41.040
And of course the goal is, is
01:04:41.040 --> 01:04:42.780
that they get placed in modeling agencies.
01:04:42.780 --> 01:04:47.245
But the reality is, is that I,
01:04:48.510 --> 01:04:49.830
they get placed other places too.
01:04:51.720 --> 01:04:55.050
And I, I, I don't have
firsthand experience of,
01:04:55.050 --> 01:04:56.070
of these things.
01:04:56.070 --> 01:05:00.870
I mean, I'm, I'm not obviously
participating in this.
01:05:00.870 --> 01:05:05.100
So it's just, it's just
normal to be a prostitute.
01:05:06.355 --> 01:05:10.140
I for them, you know,
01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:14.760
maybe it's, it's easier
than being a model.
01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:15.180
I don't know.
01:05:20.805 --> 01:05:22.900
I mean, a lot of countries prostitution is
01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:28.720
not considered a terrible thing.
01:05:34.570 --> 01:05:38.395
I don't really acknowledge
that, that it exists.
01:06:42.910 --> 01:06:45.250
- I don't understand
how new girls like Nadia
01:06:45.250 --> 01:06:48.430
and Madeline can make you
money, can make teron money,
01:06:48.430 --> 01:06:50.170
can make Ashley money
01:06:50.170 --> 01:06:51.520
- From new faces.
01:06:51.520 --> 01:06:54.610
I think we, we can make money just,
01:06:55.450 --> 01:06:58.450
they can get, you know, like experiences.
01:06:58.450 --> 01:07:00.610
That's all. Or new pictures.
01:07:01.930 --> 01:07:05.200
I think agency cannot make
it from new faces. I think.
01:07:07.930 --> 01:07:08.860
- So if they don't make money,
01:07:08.860 --> 01:07:09.820
then why do you bring them in?
01:07:11.800 --> 01:07:12.280
- Hmm.
01:07:19.630 --> 01:07:24.460
And also the current, even
they'll take a new faces.
01:07:24.460 --> 01:07:29.440
But you know, we need
the model. Need pictures.
01:07:30.910 --> 01:07:32.285
They don't have enough picture. Right.
01:07:47.290 --> 01:07:49.900
- Here is some literature
just on the procedure you had,
01:07:49.900 --> 01:07:51.460
this is very broad
01:07:51.460 --> 01:07:55.570
and it's not truly specific
to exactly what you had done.
01:07:55.570 --> 01:07:58.150
You sh you wanna make sure
you continue to eat well.
01:07:58.150 --> 01:08:00.430
But things to look out
for that you would need
01:08:00.430 --> 01:08:03.310
to call your doctor is if
you notice any separation.
01:08:05.140 --> 01:08:07.930
So it's, it sometimes take
a little while for the body
01:08:07.930 --> 01:08:09.580
to process all that you've received.
01:08:09.580 --> 01:08:12.760
So, okay, so I'll be right back. Okay.
01:08:17.585 --> 01:08:21.800
- God, the nurse, I was painful to cough.
01:08:24.170 --> 01:08:25.250
- It's a small incision.
01:08:27.620 --> 01:08:30.200
The fibroid, they had to cut
in 20 pieces to take it out.
01:08:31.700 --> 01:08:34.610
They thought it was 10 centimeters,
but it was actually 15.
01:08:34.610 --> 01:08:39.470
It's a baby's head is like
that big that came out of me.
01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:44.900
And then another one, this
01:08:44.900 --> 01:08:49.430
one, this thing.
01:08:50.720 --> 01:08:54.320
So disgusting. Oh my
god. This is the cyst.
01:08:54.320 --> 01:08:56.750
This is blonde hair. They
never have seen one with like
01:08:56.750 --> 01:08:58.460
so much blonde hair.
01:08:58.460 --> 01:09:00.500
My egg splitting on its own.
01:09:03.650 --> 01:09:05.540
- I mean they said I could
have a baby in six months.
01:09:07.220 --> 01:09:10.580
I mean I want a baby. 'cause
that's what I'm born to do.
01:09:13.790 --> 01:09:15.530
- I mean, I'm born with these organs.
01:09:21.410 --> 01:09:23.000
I want a little bit of everything,
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:26.360
but I do want a baby hopefully
01:09:26.360 --> 01:09:28.040
that could travel with me to Russia.
01:09:28.040 --> 01:09:33.020
I, so when I
01:09:33.020 --> 01:09:36.170
go to have a baby, I'll
like decide which date
01:09:36.170 --> 01:09:38.090
and then just go and
have the same operation
01:09:38.090 --> 01:09:39.110
that I just had basically.
01:10:01.315 --> 01:10:01.605
- Yeah.
01:10:10.645 --> 01:10:10.805
- Yeah.
01:12:31.645 --> 01:12:32.700
- Can you hear nothing you
01:13:29.455 --> 01:13:30.455
- Today?
01:13:30.455 --> 01:13:34.605
So they want to take me to
you. That will help. Okay.
01:13:35.460 --> 01:13:38.100
Which girls particularly
you are looking for?
01:13:38.100 --> 01:13:41.880
For my market, which is
Japan, we are quite specific.
01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:46.260
So we like young, young
girls, fresh girls, new faces.
01:13:46.260 --> 01:13:48.510
The girls that I see
today, chances are I will,
01:13:48.510 --> 01:13:49.890
I will book some of them.
01:13:49.890 --> 01:13:52.680
They should expect to
work very hard in Japan.
01:13:52.680 --> 01:13:54.270
But it's a very safe place.
01:13:54.270 --> 01:13:59.070
And every, every model
has success in Japan.
01:13:59.070 --> 01:14:01.050
Unlike other markets where,
01:14:01.050 --> 01:14:02.670
where they might go into
debt they never do in
01:14:02.670 --> 01:14:04.530
Japan, they only win.
01:14:04.530 --> 01:14:05.530
So very good.
01:14:14.305 --> 01:14:18.245
- Oh, she's cute. Hello? Hello?
01:14:19.240 --> 01:14:22.990
- You speak English? Yes. Yes you do.
01:14:25.630 --> 01:14:30.010
A little English. Did I give welcome? Yes.
01:14:31.895 --> 01:14:33.285
- She's so cute. Yes.
01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:41.880
Maria, can you introduce
yourself? My name is Maria.
01:14:42.040 --> 01:14:46.450
Maria. And you are 13 years old.
01:14:48.755 --> 01:14:49.900
Your age is 13.
01:14:59.410 --> 01:15:01.960
Beautiful. Can you put your hair back?
01:15:03.670 --> 01:15:07.840
- She is so cute. Do you think
