Dear Social Media Models...

I was really going to post this to Twitter, but, damn it, 140 characters just isn't enough. 
So, young ladies, please hear me out:  
You're beautiful. You're gorgeous. You're even hott (with TWO t's, nonetheless) and you've taken a couple of cute pictures. But...  
...you are NOT a model.  
Modeling takes skill. Training. Dedication. Much more than a few iPhone shots in a bathroom mirror speckled with toothpaste.  
So, take the photo comments and RTs of your twitpics for what they're worth and, then, #GoSitDown!  
I promise it's not hate. As a matter of fact, it's because I LOVE you all so much that I refuse to let you continue looking like fools without doing something about it. 
And, while you're doing something sensible anyway, like taking the word "model" out the Occupation section of your profile, put on some clothes. #PleaseAndThankYou  


Love, Ophelia
