Teddy Quinlivan

She seems to have such broad shoulders but the combination with her narrow hips makes her seem so so tall. I love her profile too with that long face, small mouth and high nose bridge, like a doe.

She was also one of the first models to come out as transgender which makes me think of model/actress Hunter Schafer now bringing representation to that experience on screen in Euphoria. It's encouraging to see an increasing environment of support and acceptance for sexual identity in the fashion and film industry, especialy when every step of transitioning is still heavily stigmatized, gatekept in medicine and can seem incredibly daunting for young people in the middle of an identity crisis. I think by expanding their conception of feminitity and gender, as well as championing beautiful individuals without descriminating based on gender identity, industries of beauty and design can set an incredibly influencial social precedent.

I did like Teddy but I’m starting to find her whole Red-Scare-esque “I’m an edgy queen cunty” persona increasingly cringy.

She hasn't been active or doing much work recently but her body is still in great shape (IMO):

Wanted to also highlight how she helped announce the Fashion Workers Act (pro-labor bill giving labor protection to those in the industry) last month! :luvluv:

She captioned this one "a hoe never gets cold, but I was freezing". It got me thinking... fat hoes never get cold but skinny hoes do! Well, then I don't mind freezing.

(contemplated posting this in the “Funny Things You Saw Today” thread but thought it would be better here)

I echo @bingeonvogue’s sentiment that her behavior for the past year or so has given me a tad of secondhand embarrassment and it could even be one of the reasons, besides not having a very unique look anymore, she hasn’t been getting much work. That being said, I still like her acid attitude when it comes to the fashion world alone. This post made me chuckle a little:



Is the last line and emoji desperate? Sure. But her body looks great and I appreciate her calling out nepotism.

It's such a shame to me that she hardly gets booked anymore. So many other models have let themselves get so terribly average after being in the industry for the same amount of time as Teddy, but she's always stayed in shape and showed genuine dedication to maintaining the "skinny look".

I know it's not the only reason for this, but I think a lot of her initial popularity was in part due to tokenism, and brands wanting to seem "woke" by hiring a trans model. And when the hype died down, she got fewer bookings. I do think she's gorgeous and want to see her around more. Also disclaimer: this is just speculation and I obviously don't know the full story.

I disagree, trans models have been on major runways since at least the 90s and Teddy is one of the most "feminine" looking trans models currently working (esp with all of her facial surgeries.) A better example of tokenism on the runway is Aaron Philip.
And when the hype died down, she got fewer bookings.
This is basically the life cycle of 98% of models, trans or not. Only the biggest names really stick around for more than a few years.

Agreed. I also think that while Teddy partly just fell off as most models do over time, her personality and tendency to be very outspoken likely puts brands off of working with her. Things like this (which I don't think she's necessarily wrong for doing) aren't appealing behaviours from a model for the vast majority of hirers.

(Also, TBH, if tokenism majorly helped her get booked in the past she'd probably be nominated for MOTY and booking major shows now, considering how much tokenism there is today)

Anyways, I like her legs here:
