Interviews #1 - The native New Yorker, original supermodel, author, spokesperson, and life coach sat down with me to discuss everything from fashion to finding God.
I remember being a little girl in the 80’s and 90’s and my uncle (who was very much in the NYC scene) suggesting to my parents that I model. It became an obsession of mine - in part because they both said absolutely not - and my greatest fantasy was being discovered at a Tower Records. Any time I would come into the city, I would be convinced that my big break was just a glance away. They just never brought me anywhere cool like a Tower Records 🤣
Anyway, for a lot of reasons, I loved this. It was a peek into *what could have been* and the evolution of what I’m sure was the dream of a lot of little girls who grew up in the era of the supermodel. I loved getting to know Claudia beyond the glossy magazine covers and the “grown up” model to model conversation.
I also think it revealed a lot about who you are, what you’re passionate about, and the heartfelt way you show up for all the connections in your life.
Beautifully done, and I can’t wait for the next issue :)
Thank you Cici! I guess these interviews, which are really about the person I am interviewing, will inevitably reveal who I am through the questions I ask and the subjects I want to discuss.
As for Tower Records... I miss those days! Going to a store like that was so fun. Claudia is right, the digitization of everything has not only disconnected humanity but stalled creativity and individuality. No wonder everyone is so nostalgic for the 90s!
What a great first article and interview for Kittenesque with fabulous photos to enhance it all. Through asking insightful questions, Claudia Mason reveals her life’s journey from supermodel with scoliosis in the 90s through stroke survivor, finding god, spiritual practices and becoming a life coach. What a wonderful example of acceptance and living a full life. Thank you!
I loved this so much. Such a fabulous interview. And I LOVE both of your stance on Botox and filler. So beyond refreshing.
