You dream of it. You want to be the next big thing. You want the riches and stressfree lifestyle. You want designer clothes and purses and even a mansion. You want to be stick-skinny-- what society calls fit-- with pearly white teeth and perfect hair. Yeah, well I have all of that. I am the next big thing. I'm the girl everyone wants to be. I could say I have it good, but I don't. Before this I was broke. Homeless I had no choice but to become this. I thought it would be fun-- the best thing that ever happened to me. It isn't. Things behind the spotlight are a lot worse than they seem. It sucked. My life sucked. That's what I thought, until I met Lincoln Miller. With him everything changed. We got wrapped up in each other-- wrapped up in life-- and for once everything didn't feel so bad. He steered me from the path of destruction I was headed for. He was there for me and I was there for him. He needed me just as much as I needed him, but we both knew our differences were bound to tear us apart one day. I was certain, yet I kept holding on. He allowed me to feel all the simple things I longed for. I just wanted to be happy. I wanted to be free. All I wanted was to get away from all the glitter and glam that'd ripped me apart and deceived me. All I wanted was to be me.
I'm Nadia Ellis, I'm a supermodel, and I want to tell you all about it. The good. The bad. The ugly. The GLITZ.
