Ashley Graham Says People Told Her She'd Never Cover a Magazine — as She Covers British Vogue

Ashley Graham Says People Told Her She'd Never Cover a Magazine — as She Covers British Vogue
Ashley Graham has been pretty open about her journey toward becoming a top model. The short version? It wasn't exactly easy. While the model appears on the January '17 cover of British Vogue, she revealed in the interview that, at one point, she was told she would never be a cover model.
"For 10 years I'd been told I was always going to be a catalogue girl, never a cover girl. Well, I got with IMG and did five covers in a year, boom, boom, boom."
Yet while landing her first-ever Vogue cover may be the ultimate prove-them-wrong moment, Ashley says her current success won't keep her from continuing to work hard.
"See, if you have a pretty face doors will open, but your job isn't just to walk through them, it's to get invited back. Look, I hit the beauty jackpot, I get it, but that's not enough, you've got to have more to have longevity in this business. It's always been, 'OK, so what can I do now?'"

Male names were only introduced in the same year. World Meteorological Organization (WMO) maintains the database of cyclone/hurricane/typhoon names. There are six lists of names used in rotation and they are recycled every six years. The names are picked from this pre-designated l...

Thinkstock photo Dubai, December 6 Men who exercise between three and five times a week may improve their sperm counts and other measures of sperm quality in just a few months, according to a new study. Researchers from Urmia University in Iran also found that men exercising moderately and continuously improved their sperm quality more than those following popular intensive exercise programmes like high intensity interval training (HIIT). One in three couples struggle to conceive due to poor semen quality. The only treatment available for couples unable to conceive naturally is In vitro fertilisation (IVF), but using poor quality sperm may increase the risk of miscarriage, birth defects and the development of childhood cancer, researchers said. Current advice for men seeking to improve their chances of conceiving include combining healthy eating with regular exercise while giving up smoking and reducing the intake of alcohol. However, the link between exercise and s...
