Zie of international model has ups and downs
By Dill Graf
(7m was in her steps, heav)t in her eyes.
in every gesture dignity and ion.
The life of an international fashion model is rich, fast
"and glamorous..But it still has its blues.
-It's been great to me. Dot it's not something I want to
do forever. I'm looking for a more low-keyed way of life,
explained Ann Logan in a telephone interview from her
New York apartment.
Logan works for Zoli Modeling Agency in New York;
Mark Webb Davis Talent in Los Angeles; Model Team in
Hamburg, Germany; Paulien's in Paris and Riccardo Guy
Modeling in Italy. t t
"As you get older, there are more disadvantages than
advantages. It's more for a single type person. The ad
vantage of modeling is when you're in a place for the first
time, the sun is shining and you feel good.
Feel fantastic
"When I'm in a show on Seventh Avenue and wearing
a gold lamme full length slinky evening gown, I feel
fantastic. It's like playing dress-up.
"The disadvantage is when I'm up at sunrise and leave
myhusband at home," said the 5 foot 10 inch brunette.
"If we're shooting an location in a place that I've never
been before, the first three days are fun. After four days
I've had enough. I just want to make my money and go
home," she said.
Logan, the daughter of UNLDean of Continuing Stud
ies Quentin Gessner, said she has worked in the Caribbean,
Africa, Europe, North and South America.
She was planning to model in Japan but instead she
met the man who is now her husband and plans for Japan
took the back seat, she explained.
Since her wedding, eight weeks ago, she says she is in
semi-retirement. But even in her semi-retirement mood,
life as a model takes her from her home and husband in
Frankfurt, Germany to all corners of the Western Hemi
sphere for a daily wage of $1 ,250, she said.
Logan said she had a "double start" in the modeling
business. Eight years ago, she said she was "discovered" in
a West Palm Beach department store by Maazie Murphy
Cline Modeling Agency. And at the age of 19 moved to
New York to start her career.
Not "dumb model"
Even though she had placed second in the Model Of
The Year competition, the decided after two years, she
Uidn t want to be "a dumb model." She wanted to go
back to school.
"After two years of college found I wasn't good at
carrying books. I decided that I hadn't put all of my
energy into modeling. So told everything I owned and
went back to New York," she said.
f 1te?con(l time aro"nd she developed a personalized
look, learned more about makeup and cut her hair very
short.
The new look, she explained, was responsible for her
first break into the business.
"I was in the right place at the right time. Mademoisel
le Magazine was doing layout called How to Wear Your
Boyfriends Clothes and Look Fantastic' I came in with
my short hair and they went nuts."
Since then, Logan has appeared in Glamour, Vogue,
Lady s Home Journal, Harper's Bazaar and countless other
magazines and catalogs. She appears on television ads for
J.C. Penney's and ABC Records and Tapes as well as
working in live fashion shows on New York's Seventh
Avenue, the pinnacle of New York's fashion.
Off camera look
Because of her "look," she said she models mostly
sport clothes and dresses rather than more elegant
fashions. But wjien she's off camera it's back to blue
jeans, sweat shirts- and her collection of cowboy boots or
an antique dress with a full skirt and a lot of white lace.
She explained that the model's look determines the
types of clothing she'll usually model.
When the model first meets with the photographer and
the others involved with the shoot "they know what
they're looking for. It may be subepnscious, but some
where they know. If you're it, nobody else in the city will
do, if not, there's nothing you can do to get the job," she
said.
But generally a model should be a least 5 feet 7 inches,
slender, smart and have a good personality, she added.
Her final advise to would-be models was; If the model
is in the business for two years and isn't making more
than $35,000 a year, she should get out of the business.
When asked if models are exploited, she said, there
have been cases, but although one magazine tried, exploit
ing her, she said she doesn't feel she has been exploited.
Logan explained that two years ago a magazine had her
model bathing suits in the Caribbean. But they retouched
the top of the suit off her so on the photographs appeared
that she was partially nude.
"I called my lawyer, he called their lawyer, and their
lawyer called the magazine. The press was stopped 20
minutes after I knew about it."
"They had the choice of publishing and being sued, or
lose a lot of money by stopping the presses."
She added that she was told by the owner of Zoli.
Modeling Agency that retouching clothes off of a model is
so unprofessional that he only hears of a case once every
five or 10 years.
"Must have been my lucky bolt of lighting," she said.
