just as the article says... her sense of fun stands out from the robotic, emotionless

expressionless

girls stomping the runway nowadays <_<

Yes far too many 'show ponies' than 'showmen' these days. I love the type of model who could 'do anything unorthodox' on the runway if the mood grabbed her.
