Subject Matter: modeling, photo shoots, runway shows, modeling agencies

Cheryl Diamond relates her experience as a model breaking into the New York population of pretty people. Her journey is not an easy one as she has problems with finding a place to stay and loses her cat, the one object that she can rely on. Her positive attitude is not one that you would plan on meeting in the modeling industry and her charisma causes a reader to fall in love with her and realize how funny this material world that we live in, really is. She tells the story of her coming to New York for the first time and then venturing out alone to find a place to stay and to find her way around New York city going to photo shoots so that she may build her portfolio.

Review: Cheryl's optimistic attitude causes a reader to question her credibility, as it seems that no one would have the confidence and the mindset to do some of things that she did.

Now You Know: A very good book that accurately describes what it takes to be a model.
