Beschreibung

Not-Quite-Supermodel follows Alex Emmerson’s quest for stardom. Alex is painfully awkward, exquisitely unfashionable, and she’s never fit in anywhere. When a smooth-talking model scout discovers her slicing fish at a Canadian Safeway, she offers Alex the chance at a career she never knew she wanted.

Armed with a suitcase full of neuroses, Alex sets off to reinvent herself in the Big Apple. Buyer beware: it’s a runway to hell but perdition does have its perks.

Take a peek behind the glamour and follow Alex’s laugh-out-loud exploits as she attempts to navigate New York’s high-adrenaline fashion scene. This self-deprecating narrative is a realistic portrayal of a model in the making. 

Modeling may not be Alex’s biggest challenge. She must reconcile her inner self with a world of retouched perfection -what really matters, who she truly is, and where she fits in. Her ‘only in New York’ misadventures with an outrageous cast and crew lead her to the one thing, the coolest thing she could ever hope for…Herself. Not-Quite-Supermodel is a salacious, yet relatable coming of age story that captures how it feels to be young and on your own in New York City, with its limitless possibilities, dramatic highs and lows, and the sense of victory that comes from relentless perseverance.
