Smile bigger.” Now I know how to get through photo shoots, because I know every angle they need. I do this super weird thing for my friends where I just slightly move my face to do a speed round of each red carpet pose and photo shoot I’ve done. The big smile, eyes up and then down, the Mona Lisa, the chin-down-lips-parted, the “Oh hi!” . . . My friends scream because I look like a robot model shorting out. But let me tell you, it makes it easy on the photographers.

She hadn’t worn stockings, and her brown skin was smooth and supple, glimpses of it flashing from the slit in her short skirt as she walked.

Do good; do well; but make sure you can prove it on a college app. So
