Joan Smalls

thumb Joan Smalls Rodriguez (born July 11, 1988) is a Puerto Rican model and television personality.In 2011, she became the first Latina model to represent Estée Lauder cosmetics. Quotes The one that surprised me was the Jean Paul Gaultier music video. It's funny because you're modeling and working with this person, and he's such a true gentleman with so much talent. And then you see the music video, and it's like, "wow!" He had a career as a singer back in the day, and he has tried it all. It was really fun to watch. Honored, blessed, and flattered. I think it's nice to know that people in the industry are paying attention to all of the hard work you've done throughout the years and rewarding you for it. It reminds you to keep doing it, to keep pushing yourself, and to always remain that way. I would like to pick Rihanna's brain. I love her style and what she does. She just chopped her hair off, and it looks sexy! She does what she wants because that's who she is, and I respect that individuality. I would also say Lady Gaga and Kanye West. Yeah, it's kind of genetic. Both of my parents were really, really thin at a young age. I also work out because I have scoliosis. I have to maintain certain strength in my core. I try not to go to sleep with makeup, because I think it clogs your pores. I always wash my face with something that contains salicylic acid. I moisturize with Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair and a heavy moisturizer. I splurged on my first tuxedo jacket. It was Givenchy. The one with shoulder pads and extremely well-tailored. I could see myself wearing it forever, because you can dress it up and dress it down. It's just perfect. No matter what year it is, it's a classic.
