Violet by Design
by Melissa Walker
Last year Violet made a decision to get out of modeling for good—and then the lure of international travel changed her mind. Now she's thinking that she should have stuck with her original decision. If she had, then she never would have let her romance with Paulo hurt her, she never would have gotten into trouble with the press for speaking out about eating disorders, and she never would have anguished over her body the way only runway models do.
Melissa Walker's Bio
Melissa Walker is a writer who has worked as ELLEgirl Features Editor and Seventeen Prom Editor. All in the name of journalism, she has spent 24 hours with male models and attended an elite finishing school for girls in New Zealand, among other hardships.
In 2006, she fulfilled a life-long dream by appearing as a talking head "expert" on VH1's The Fabulous Life of Celebrity Kids.
Melissa lives in Brooklyn and has a BA in English from Vassar College. She would tell you her SAT scores too, but, you know, the math part was hard.
VIOLET ON THE RUNWAY, her first novel, will be published in September 2007.
