Boothe recognized the need to include a children’s and teens’ division within her agency.

And when you look at the bigger picture, how many modeling agencies would even consider models that weren’t a size zero, or a double amputee?

Flaws are what make us each unique.” “Everyone is different it’s important not to allow others to define you,” said fellow teen model Annika- lake Dotte, who flew from Oklahoma to D.C. with her mother for an opportunity to participate in the agency’s recent casting call. “My daughter is fearless, so she keeps me very busy” added Annikalake’s mom, Jeneal, a fearlessness that binds the current roster of models together. “We envision [this agency] producing the first supermod- el with a DD 214,” Boothe added. “We also want to es- tablish the first Veteran Fashion Week, a grand display of veterans turned runway slayers…My story has led to many blessings; proof that everything happens for a reason, even the bad things.” Pentagram Staff Writer Arthur Mondale can be reached at [email protected].
