Much love for Brit disabled model, Shannon Murray

[Theophania]

Ever heard of her before? She is AWESOME and is pretty much the leading disabled model over there. She was featured in a high-prpfile department store ad campaign and has been in a number of BBC TV shows.

I have admired her for years, and was totally tickled pink when she wrote me the other day after finding my site.

She was actually on this cool TV show over there called "How to Look Good Naked," where two other women in chairs style a sexy photoshoot she's in. You can watch a clip here: http://www.spinalpedia.com/blog/2012/07/sci-superstar-shannon-murray/ (good stuff)

She is going on 33 now, and has anther career lined up: Attorney clerk. Not sure what that is....guessing a British version of a lawyer.

Oh! I really loved this story. Though, sadly, I don't think that 93% of anyone surveyed in the US would feel positively about the model in a wheelchair. Maybe I'm a pessimist, but our views of beauty and fashion are much different from those of people across "the pond" and other European cities.

Dang Theo, I thought the story was going to be about you since it was about a young beautiful woman.

I saw the fashions first, model second and wouldn't have really noticed the chair 9f it hadn't been mentioned.

Attorney clerk. Not sure what that is....guessing a British version of a lawyer.

That should read articled clerk which is an archain term for a trainee solicitor.

What a stunning girl!

When I click on the link in your article to the video, I get a page about the video, but don't see any way to actually view the video. Do I have to create an account in order to watch it?
