I'm not shocked at traffickers using this method of promises to lure unsuspecting girls into slavery, I've seen it, read about it, studied it. I'm in shock that it flourishes in the most visible, glaring spotlight of our culture, the part that worhips and presents our current idea of beauty in almost everything we touch.
These victims are on the most prominent slave block ever, emulated by our children, coveted by our culture-makers and our society, and standing in the brightest global spotlight in the world. In plain sight, reported on in numerous stories for decades and yet only escalating in usage until they've become the golden mean.
We can quietly ignore the ones resold daily in our town, who made our clothes, chocolate, housewares, provided the gold on our fingers and necks, electronics in our hands, labor in our fields. Here, finally, are slaves we fantasize about being, emulating, allow our society to be shaped by, consider trophies.
What will this say about us if we don't drastically change it? All of it.
Katie Ford walked away from an empire the first time she learned about slavery. she's working to change with this thing she recognized to be permeating the industry. That is courage.

In 2010, Jezebel, an online site, published "The Sex Trafficking Model Scout" warning about the dangers of deregulated modeling agencies in the U.S.
Given the growing number of modeling agencies that transport underage teenagers from foreign countries into the United States and the growing sex trade of underage girls in the U.S. why does this industry remain deregulated?
Since the advent of this business, modeling agencies have had free reign to scout teenagers from every state in the country as well as every nation in the world. Many of these teenage girls come from economically disadvantaged families and are offered none to very limited protection while traveling and working as "models."
Jezebel reported that Jean Luc Brunel, one of the cast of characters involved in the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein (a level 3 registered sex offender), eight-year-long case, has been working for over two decades with a succession of agencies in New York and Paris. According to media reports, Diane Sawyer produced a segment for CBS's 60 Minutes featuring a sex scandal that eventually led Eileen Ford (founder of renowned Ford modeling agency) to stop working with Brunel.
Brunel's latest venture is the modeling agency MC2 based in South Beach, Fla. with satellite offices in New York and Tel Aviv. Since his agency is deregulated and "no criminal charges
