Girl With No Legs Makes $1000 Per Day As A Lingerie Model

At 23-years-old, Kanya Sesser is at the top of her game as a skateboarder, surfer, snowboarder, and model. She was born without legs, which has only motivated her to go above and beyond in everything she sets her mind to. The tattooed lady of Los Angeles earns upwards of $1,000 a day as a lingerie model and lives by the motto, “No Legs, No Limits.” In regards to modeling she told the Daily Mail, “I don’t need legs to feel sexy.”

She said she doesn’t use a wheelcjhair to get around, choosing to use her skateboard instead.

“People do stare at me since I’m around Venice boardwalk skateboarding and stuff like that,” she said. “But when people stare I just think, Okay cool. I’m a celebrity.”

Kanya is originally from Thailand, however but says she was abandoned at a Buddhist temple when she was just one week old. At age five, she moved to Portland, Oregon with her adoptive parents.
Kanya just recently began training to compete in the mono ski at the 2018 Paralympics.

She said, “I’ve always had body confidence. “Society’s got nothing on us. Be confident, life is valuable. We have one moment, one life.”

Kanya is truly an inspiration to a lot of us. Do not let anything stop you from chasing your dreams.

Bogotá to “BCool” with fashion

A citywide fashion event kicks off Thursday which aims to showcase the best of local designers and offer Bogotanos the chance to renew their wardrobes. It’s called ‘B Capital’ and it’s the very first time, the Medellín fashion and textile entity, Inexmoda, comes to the capital to host an important fashion event.

There are three concepts to this three day event: BFashion, BSmart and BCool. The letter “B” referring to Bogotá, of course, and Bogotanos will have a complete fashion experience from runways, to meeting top models, and getting the latest fashions at reasonable prices.

If the capital is the largest consumer market in the country, it ranks 4^th in the terms of per capita spending on fashion. Bogotanos, it seems, are reticent to go out and stock up on new clothes! Hence, Inexmoda, with its two decades of experience in promoting Colombian fashion with its celebrated show, Colombia Moda, believes Bogotá’s time has come to jump on the fashion bandwagon. “This is a long term project” affirms Carlos Eduardo Botero, President of Inexmoda. “We want to help this city become more fashion aware.”

The main events are being held in a former textile warehouse in Puente Aranda, (Cra 30 No.24-02) and once visitors have registered with www.bcapital.com.co they can take in the runway shows with the BFashion listing. On Thursday night, photographer Ruven Afanador will work alongside designer Olga Piedrahita in a rare presentation which offers guests a chance to see how a world renown portrait photographer works.

On Friday, it’s “Fashion Marathon” with shows by Atelier Crump, Entreaguas, Faride Ramos, Julieta Suarez and Lina Cantillo. From presenting the latest in lingerie to street fashion, B Capital wants to go beyond the catwalks to become a city institution. A yearly meeting place for industry professionals, designers, students and customers of “ready to wear.”

Even though there is along line up of well-known designers, the BCool category presents the country’s up and coming talent and opens a space for design expression. Check out the Pop Up Store with clothes for the budget-conscious consumer. And then, there’s a host of Fashion Films curated by Medellín’s Fashion Film Festival.

Last, but not least, we all need to BSmart when it comes to clothing. This is the academic part of the event and will be held in venues such as the Centro Comercial Andino, C.C El Retiro, La Salle College and San Victorino market. From lectures to workshops, there’s an extensive invite list, so if you feel like talking with fashion with experts, this is your opportunity, and one, which for the time being, will come to town, just once a year.
