Modeling in Japan was definitely one of the most pivotal moments in my life that opened up the world and its possibilities at a very young age. More than likely I would not be where I am now if I didn't have that life experience so early on. The modeling industry is definitely not an easy industry to get into, especially at a young age, but in today's video I wanted to tell you guys about my journey of going from being a high school student in small town Saskatchewan to working a full time job on the other side of the world! Hope you enjoy it and let me know your thoughts in the comments :)

Alina, Thank you for your candor and honesty. Things are changing slowly in the Modeling Industry about age and body image. Let's hope the next generation of models will benefit from your wisdom. It looks like Japan will always have a special place in your heart ❤. Sending you some much Love and Affection ❤❤❤ from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki

@fmonge88 Год назад

Hi! I was blown away by your candor and the prominent look into the world of modeling! It perhaps should be a "must- see" video for aspiring models! Well-done!👏👏👏👏 I am looking into Rosetta and see it has a good design of teaching, thanks!

although i poke fun at and pick on you sometimes, i think you are an amazing person for holding your own to now living a plain life, being a regular simple woman with a clean life after having been glamorous.

@briannabee812 Год назад

This was interesting to hear your perspective on career path few can do. I wanted to try it but my life took a different path with University. I bet it was a refreshing moment to see all these places you once worked.

@jimross7648 Год назад

I'm not the prime demographic for this particular video but it was interesting. Your early modelling shots remind me of a colt all long. thin legs and big teeth. Your smile than and now, just lights up your face. Genetically you are gifted, but you had the work ethic to make the most of it. Interesting video. I can honestly say that human lumps (my specialty) are not in demand in the modelling or the acting world, and my work ethic would be probably somewhat suspect. Great video of Alina in Japan, and that's still a winning combination.

@AlinaMcleod Год назад

Thanks so much, Jim!

@ilecier Год назад

Dèja vu.......was on a 2 months model contract (as a male model) in Tokyo just like you but an estimated 12-15 years earlier. Not much seems to have changed in terms of requirements. I remember their obsession with skinny models and very young girls back then. However, loosing weight wasn't any difficult and came with the daily and numerous go sees with clients. To reach their places in the biggest city of the world kept us moving for many hours...... making money was/is clearly considerably easier for girls. Overall a great experience.... expenses were deducted from job income and I went home with a small amount of money. I considered it a cost-free travel and stay in an exciting and different culture. Unforgettable their: お疲れ様 or Otsukaresama, which means good work/job that came inevitably each time upon finishing a job and was accompanied by a slight head bow and friendly smile.........😊

@NormanF62 Год назад

In this day and age when being morbidly obese and being out of shape is considered a virtue, I was always a skinny and small man and well the latter part of it wasn’t ideal for a modeling career, where men have to a certain height. The truth is looks aren’t everything and handsomeness like beauty, is fleeting. Thanks for the retrospective on your modeling career and time in Japan. It was most enjoyable! 😊

@brianabare7515 Год назад

@dominicclarkgolf4924 Год назад

Hi mate I just wanted to give feedback as you asked. The channel content is great! My fav vids ever were Tour School. Also loved the Pro am with Bernie and Steph and of ofcourse the Cornwall links bloggs with Gilly and others. Really enjoying Jo and Jim on the channel and Paul is always class. I think the filming and content is top class. My advice to grow would be to do what you do best which is a cut above other channels and that is high class serious golf ie the tour school and Jim Vs Jo you got coming up. Other ideas would be travel and playing bloggs with more of the course action showing the area and chats in the bar etc more reality TV etc👍. Hope that helps I always like and comment when I can and watch on TV mostly. Good luck mate. Dom👍

@caminodetokio4816 Год назад

It’s very interesting to know that for non-Japanese person like you including my friend from Australia, Akasaka means the just Akasaka area, where TBS TV Headquarters are located and which is a very business district. But for Japanese people like me it must be the Akasaka-Mitsuke area, which is very popular bar area and 10 to 15 minutes walk from Akasaka.

To go from post Soviet UKR, to small very rural town in Northern Saskatchewan, to modeling in Japan, to YTer is crazy. How you even get noticed from Northern Saskatchewan? Who got you into modeling? Did you parents bring you to beauty pageants?

@williamdavenport6863 Год назад

I think you were too young to be model back then and personally I feel it is inappropriate for a girl that age to be a model and should be forbidden and perhaps against the law. That being said, as an adult woman, you are a beautiful lady. I would also encourage you to return to school and perhaps earn a degree in a field that you will enjoy and pays well both. It's never too late to go back to university.
