Where I grew up – elementary school, middle school and high school were on the same block. When you started at the beginning you might as well have just gone to the same school the entire time, because every single person that lived there went there. So any kind of weird nickname you got in middle school or elementary school is going to stay with you for the entire time. It was horrible pretty much. In middle school I had really short hair like a boy. I had no curves. I was not feminine in any way. My nickname was Dan.
I had no boyfriend. I sat alone at the lunch table. I was in band, which didn’t help at all. I picked out my own outfits from a very early age. My mom was a seamstress so she would sew my outfits. I would just make up stuff and she would make it for me. So I’d wear these spandex pants and t-shirts, it was ridiculous.
High school I started to come into my own. I started to model a little bit on the side and I started to date guys outside the school. And so everyone was kind of like, “Wait a second. This was the ugly girl we called Dan and she can’t be hot now.” That didn’t work, that didn’t register for anyone.
