LMAO i didn't even hear about that jezebel article!
Too bad people are once again focusing on her sexuality and not her abilities as a model. :(

I think the writer on Jezebel is not totally ridiculous. I have to admit that the article of Freja on Vogue UK doesn't give me many breathtaking moments, I skimmed through the article and was barely impressed except for her joke.
But that writer is not that righteous to demand an insight on Freja's sexuality. She/he was right about the need of revealing more about Freja's "behavior, psychology, past, present, dreams, goals, motivations, and concerns".

Freja hasnt got many interviews so each of them should be informative. I always want to hear more from her, about whatever it is. The article on Vogue UK is like it was written of wikipedia and a super brief chit-chat with Freja, not even a genuine interview.

For the average Vogue UK reader, the interview was perfectly fine. Freja is only a model and the article was basically introducing her to people who know nothing about her. What are they supposed to do? Delve into her deepest, darkest dreams? That's just creepy.

The Jezebel article was ridiculous in assuming anything about her sexuality when nothing has ever been confirmed by either Freja nor her agencies. We can assume and infer all we want, but the fact of the matter is that we don't know anything for a fact. And frankly, I think it should stay that way so people focus more on Freja's work as a model.

Well, honestly said. Freja has been in the industry for a good 5 years, fashion readers expect to read about her as a PERSON. Her photos are everywhere, ppl shout her name eagerly, if I just want to know her modeling career, i will google or wiki it out, i wont wait till Vogue UK establishes such an article.

I'd rather read this blog, which is at least thought-provoking, than spend time on that dead dull piece of writing on Vogue UK. Even the most interesting part is not by the writer, it's because Freja's joke that they just simply quoted.

@Lucy: Sorry, I don't give invites to tFS because I get so many requests. It's just a policy I have. Hope you understand!

@BunnyBehan: You're completely missing my point. The majority of people who read magazines like all the Vogues don't know who the models are. They could care less, truth be told. That piece was essentially introducing Freja on the most basic level to a whole slew of readers who know nothing about her. Obviously, neither you nor I fit into that category since we're already fans. But don't fool yourself....we are in the minority.

@yantomycin: Thank you so much and thanks for reading!
