  • Anna, you are so inspirational and a completely positive influence. Women everywhere are always so insecure about their weight, looks, and their overall outer appearance without having others judge them as well. It's so great that you stay true to yourself. I have so much respect for you, I'm glad I subscribed to you a few weeks ago, you are an amazing and beautiful person. I wish others could see things the way you do, I feel like the world would be a lot better place.

  • Thank you for being such a positive role model. There is so much crap around, you're really refreshing and helpful! xXx

  • fair play Anna that's amazin. Really respect you for this

  • wow, totally re-subscribing. you are awesome.

  • i have decided that i like your face. dunno why i thought about that

  • Hi Anna - I figured you'd enjoy this since you're a POSITIVE role-model. Check them out mbtees.com - Inspirational videos are at youtube.com/watch?v=XKuVHjLVuk­w

    STAY POSITIVE and NEVER give up on your dreams!

  • Wow, Im impressed, you are truly an amazing role model. Unlike many other people in this situation, you managed to stay true to yourself. I hope better and greater opportunities will come your way.

  • I love how you've stayed true to yourself rather than getting sucked into the weird world of high fashion! Thank you. I'm sure a lot of really good and probably better things will come from your decision x

  • I just saw the article online before watching this video. I was like, "Hey I know who that is!!" haha We're very proud of you. I can't believe those poor girls have to go through that crap.

  • can u do a videoo on clothing for petitee girls..like ver short girls ranging from (5 ft-4).

  • PROUD OF U !!!!! LOVE U ANNA

  • Thank you so much for being a woman of conviction and a great role model to young girls!

  • Good for you..

  • I love your earrings! Very bold.

  • I just subscribed... very impressed with your stance on the model casting set-up! keep up the good work girl;)

  • Congratulations Anna. You did completely the right thing and I think your fans will respect you all the more for this. Good on you for standing by your principles. Massively impressed. x

  • Anna-I am so proud of you for doing what you feel is right...I am sure this was a HUGE decision for you...SUPER DUPER PROUD of you. We have to do what FEELS right...life should flow. SO happy you have joined us on WORLD WIDE GOOD NEWS...you are EXACTLY what we all love there...love Megan xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Well done Anna, good of you to stand up for what you believe in! Such a shame that everyone in the fashion industry doesnt take a leaf out of your book. I have a teeny bone to pick with you though...Bray is in Wicklow not Dublin :)

  • I think the most hypocritical thing about the modeling industry is the agents and industry clients that are judging models are usually unhealthy and unhappy with their own lives. They get an ego lift nitpicking on beautiful women. The fact is the most beautiful women in the world have healthy figures like Penelope Cruz, Heidi Klum, etc. The waif look is out, it is so 1990!

  • I have to say I didn't expect this kind of talk from a fashion guru. I am pleasantly surprised. Thank you so much for setting a good example. I'm definitely more dedicated to your channel now knowing what you stand for. <3

  • thank you so much I (as a young 17 year old subscriber) appreciate what you did to stand up for real girl positive image is so amazing to me that is why I LOVE your channel keep it up you are so inspiring!

  • I am impressed. Great to realize this was not for you. I do not support these things that the industry want to put on women, sterotype I call it, putting all of us in boxes where noone fits. I hope your night goes well. It sounds like a great initiative, well done!

  • well done!!! :) xx

  • Bravo Anna!! you are a truly amazing Woman with outstanding morals & knowledge of a Girl's/Woman's Worth & it's not in her size. I applaud you Anna :)) Love from Australia xox

  • I commend you! This is very brave and mature of you. Thanks for letting us know, and I wish you well with anything else you become a part of. :)

  • Just happened to stumble upon this video and have now sub'd. Thank you for this and for doing what you do :)

  • Bravo ! U know, Elte...like a lot of other places where u can find young girls without parents around...does not make..social work u know. They make business.SInce al this pedophily and drug scandal some years ago, i definitely boycott this group.Cool of you to stick to your inner values. :)

  • i think there are very few pple thoughtful enough to realize the stupidity of that kind of superficiality and actually do something about it, kudos to u :)

  • Respect ;)

  • Anna,

    I admire what you have done. When you don't feel right about something, it is best to walk away. Perhaps this vid will help a young girl decide whether or not something is right for her. Most importantly, it will help her realize that following her heart should be her top priority.

    Wishing you the very best, as always!

    :)

  • Thank you, Anna.

  • Good on you, Anna! R.E.S.P.E.C.T. xxx

  • admirable anna!!! i'm proud of you!!!

  • More power to you for sticking to your guns Anna, Proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It is really great that you are following what you believe in!! Great!

  • You're inspiring, good for you for sticking to your convictions! I think it's hard sometimes these days, you have to really believe in yourself and what you want to do...I admire you so much.

    Wish I could go support, but I live in Canada. All the best! Can't wait to see your next videos!

    <3 <3 <3

  • omg i wanna come but im all the way in cali... gl tho :)

  • Good for you! You had good intentions and it's too bad you could only do so little-- but it's good to know your limits so you don't end up compromising yourself. But honestly, I think running your channel and sticking to your philosophy of encouraging natural body confidence and "changing your style, not your self" will help to change things, just from the outside. You may not change the industry directly but you can change the CONSUMERS by giving them confidence!

  • Respect Anna! Thanks!

  • omg .. ur a very good person and a genuine 1 for that matter ...

    we love u ..

    and i am sooo proud of u ..

    and my respect for elite model look ...

  • you're such an amazing person!

    I can't believe for my life that you're so young!!! you're incredibly mature and I wish there seriously was more people like you in the fashion industry. I've been a model since I'm 15 (I'm 17 now) and you have no idea how many times I've been told my hips are too broad. I'm a size two.

    what?!

    Thank you so much for this video, and keep it up!

    -Anabela ♥

  • You are such a good person!! =) Glad you stood up for what you believe in! :D<3

  • I just sub to your channel! You're brave to stick up to what you believe in! And btw, you have the most beautiful eye shape!

  • well done xxx

  • I really think that's awesome that you cut your ties with Elite. That says a lot about your character and your beliefs :)

  • Wow you are such a good person. Keep it up, Anna.

  • Wow anna, that is very mature of you. you have definetly earned my respect!

  • Hey Anna,

    Wise choice! I am glad you stood up for what you believed in and dropped out because of your own comfort. Not only were you putting what you believe in first but you were also showing that what they were doing you didn't feel comfortable contributing to. This video goes to show what a loving, wonderful person you are Anna and that you believe everyone should be treated the same and be able to feel beautiful wearing what they want.

    Great video Anna, love you!

    Natalie x :)

  • I really like that you stood up for what you believed in! And I think it took a lot of courage to give up on such an opportunity just b/c things weren't going as you liked.

  • great that you stayed true to yourself and your principles! that just shows how much character that you have! you know what you want and you stick with it - one sees that you are devoted to your beliefs. Mill thumbs up for you and this video!

  • You are great!!! so nice.

  • Im proud of u ...atleast u TRIED to change it !!! xoxo

  • Comment removed

  • Anna I love your eyes!!! they're so pretty!

  • Fairplay ta ya anna for sticking to ur principles...good look with the fashion show darling..:)

  • wow big earrings :P

  • That's awesome, Anna! I totally support your decision! Wish I could be there tomorrow! Sounds like a lot of fun and I know you will do a fabulous job!

    Besos!

    Liz

  • good for you :) x

  • im happy about that fashion show :)

  • It is good to see you stand up for what you believe in... positive self imagine especially in teens is so important.. yeah for you!

  • Anna, Thank you for being an inspiration & not selling out! You are one of the youtube gurus that I truly respect & I KNOW that you will go far!!!

  • I think that was very brave of you quiting the modelling thing :)That fashion show sounds awesome I wish I could be there :(

  • You are such a great person! :)

  • you are a brave girl..

  • Ah, you're sooo beautiful on the outside and on the inside!

  • Nice to see your new video! I've missed them! I understand your dissapointment, but it's really difficult, if not impossible, to change something in a fashion industry. I also believe something should definitely change, because the fashion industry doesn't promote a healthy body immage and this can really affect young girls!

    I'm glad for the event you're hosting, if I could I'd definitely come :)

    Btw I have the same earrings, just without the beads- we have the same taste in accessories ;)

  • Last year I went to Berlin for the Elite Model Look Casting..and they immediatly told me that I´m fat..I am about 6 ft tall and weigh 130 pounds, hope I did the conversion correctly but anyways, they didn´t wanted a healthy looking girl at all..and also, telling an 17-year old girl that she´s fat when she´s not can cause some very bad effects..I´m so proud you tried to change their ideas and it´s sad that you failed, but I think that it is nearly impossible..

    I like you a lot :)

  • wow :-)

  • i love people that do what they believe in.that just makes u so wonderful and authentic.i had to struggle with my weight so many years. i was tooo skinny and i didnt feel confortable.people were trying to force on me to get a model, but i wanted is really to gain weight.when i lived in the states for a year i just stopped ciritizing myself and now im so happy

  • Aw anna u really r an inspiration thnku xx

  • beauty doesn't come in a weight or measurement. I love love love the fashion industry, but its very cruel at the same time.

  • you're amazing and you changed my life. thank you!

  • i am a fan of u!! i think u are wonderfull!!

  • i think it is amazing that you have done this! it is a shame most people don't realise it is not about the numbers, girls of all shapes/sizes are beautiful and add personality to a look. that is way more important! everyone deserves the self confidence you have! xx

  • good for you anna, i think you definitely did the right thing. so many people are willing to sacrifice their own morals and principles just to get ahead in the industy and its great to know that you are not one of them, its obvious that you have a lot of respect for yourself and other girls too, and you needn't worry great things will happen for you sooner or later and at least you will have a clear conscience! :)

  • You're a beautiful person. I love you Anna! <3

  • wow, well done Anna! I'm so happy that you had the guts to do this :) xxxxxx

  • I have great respects for you for doing this!

  • love those earrings!!

  • Well done Anna! I'm sure that must have been very tough on you.

    xx

  • that's fantastic

  • SO nice to hear!

    Great things will happen to you if you stick with your morals and beliefs :)

  • I think it's great you chose to quit because of this and didnt just go along with it because it gave you more 'publicity' if you know what i mean! well done! xx

  • that took serious guts and strength to stand by your beliefs, especially publicly. i really admire that you went into it trying to make a change rather than the money or to further ur career in fashion. thanks for being true to yourself and yt followers xx

  • this has made me respect you all the more!

  • Hi you have a strong personality and can be very proud of yourself. Love you!

  • You'd better be sure you haven't breached your contract...

    Well done for standing up for your beliefs.

    x

  • That was a wise choice for a really positive book promotion. So you stay as a believable person. Well done Anna!

  • i really admire what you did with the elite modeling thing, you inspire people to love themselves

  • When I was reading your latest magaine article about the Elite Modelling I thought that it was going against what you stand for, but Im proud and inspired that you gave up the opportunity to stand up for what you believe in. xxxxx

  • I love that you did this, Anna! I am so amazed and inspired by you.

    xoxo

  • it's soo cool that you stay with the things you said, I personal think that it cost a lot of courage to quit a job because of the resons you did!!!

  • May be you should try to approach those EATING DISORDER foundation.

    I've done a project while i am studying in the university about eating disorder and self image definition. Patients of eating disorder always feels depressed and not feeling right about their body, for the mostly they don't have much self-confidence or even have a contorted body image perception. I think you could definitely help them. ^^

  • I love your videos Anna, personally, I have super low self esteeem and your channel always make me feel better!

  • Great video, Anna. I'm very proud of you; you are right, many wonderful other things will happen for you! ~Patti

  • I am proud of you.

  • Good for you Anna...sticking to your convictions and standards.

  • aww ur so sweet,

    by the way i love ur earings

  • awesome :)

  • Being honest to yourself is a big inspiration for your subscribers.

    Nice talk from a beautiful lady !

  • The fasion industry needs more REAL women like you Anna-someone with integrity, compassion and who understands why a dangerous image the industry is promoting. Women are not hangers. We need to shine through the clothes we are wearing not have them lost on our skeletal frames. Have no regrets because you are the true role MODEL that doesn't need judging.

  • Anna that was a very brave move and it must take a lot of guts to stand up for what you believe in such a hard industry. We support you all the way girl. U are right you better things coming to you in life. Good luck!

  • i have a new found respect for you !! Your awesome:)

  • i love the whole positive thing- BUT... we need a New industry-new bones new brains- new models-new looks-new attudite- - we as women are just hard on our selves by nature- but that can be used for good- we need a self acceptance trend that catches on! love you great job on your part-- follow your heart! love shelly

  • Such an inspiration!!!!

  • Good for you Anna! I have a lot of respect for you, and have fun hosting the fashion show!

  • oh good it seems like a lot of famous gurus are not forgetting to be real with their subscribers!

  • Good for you for sticking to what you believe in.

  • i admire you :D

  • Wow! I do feel so inspired by you! You stuck to your guns. You saw something that your were apart of and you didn't believe in and you took yourseld out of that situation! That is very positive. You are a great role model and I am so proud to follow you! You are an inspiration. Lynnie xx

  • you're not naive. you're a person with a positive vision with hopes of changing the modeling industry for the better. it's wonderful that you were able to have the opportunity to see from the inside what things are truly like in that industry and now that you know what things are like you have the power to change whatever it is that you found out on your own/with Jonathon (sorry if i spelled his name wrong). best to you always.

  • Anna!! I love how you stuck to your own rules and not getting jaded by fame!

    you inspired me!

  • What you did shows a lot of strength, credibility and self respect - very awesome :-)

  • Gorgeous earrings!!! Thank you, so much for your positivity!

  • thumbs up for your attitude towards body image!!! Amazing amazing amazing!!!!

  • :O I live in Bray, but my graduation from Transition Year is on that night :(

    xo

  • Good for you! way to stand up for what you believe in!

  • You can definitly be proud of yourself! I am! :)

  • Anna I could hug you now! I did notice you changing in your videos and I thought that I wasn't sure why. But now I kind of see what might have been going on. It must have been such a hard decision for you to make seeing as Elite is such a big modelling agency. I admire you so much for sticking to your philosophy and principles anyway. You've become such an inspiration to me. :-)

  • I love you for doing this.

  • good for you:)

  • I think you would be an amazing speaker . Your so inspiring :)

  • ah well done Anna! x

  • Good job Anna.

  • One way to change the industry is someone would have to be really successful doing something different. While the fat cats are making money doing what theyre doing they will not change.

  • your so beautiful inside and out ! (:

  • You did the right thing! Great that you didnt compromise your values!

  • I have so much respect as well. You opting out was very inspiring and it shows you aren't in it for fame you really do want to give girls a positive outlook! Kisses! xo

  • I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT 4 U GIRL!

  • Very impressed with your move, Anna. I think it's incredibly important that women are not weighed or measured in order to 'qualify' them for a particular job. Of course, since I suffered from anorexia for some years, I know the value of loving yourself for more than your physical size. I'm thrilled you're not long apart of this. Model companies will never change - skinny, emaciated frames holds clothes better than ones with vital flesh. I hope the industry can change one day too. Peace&love xxx

  • I really respect you for opting out of something like that, especially since you had such high hopes for a change to occur. That is so great of you! :)

  • Great choice, I think you did the right thing :)

    And I just realized your BF has the same name as my future BF(saying future because he is'nt allowed to date yet), Jonathan's are great :) haha

  • I think its great that you did that, it takes a strong person to stand up to others negative actions and outlooks. <3 you hope your having a great weekend :)

  • I'm proud of you for opting out!

  • you are a great role model for all the teens that watch your channel : ) keep positive!! those earings look heavy!! : )

  • Sounds very meaningful. =)

  • Thankyou Anna, it must of taken a lot of courage to take yourself away from that negative situation. I really respect you for what you did and i'm really happy you are standing by your beliefs :D xxx Take care Anna! xxxxxxx
