A Role Model

Check out TV anchorwoman Robin Roberts strutting down the runway at NYC's Fashion Week, bald




When Roberts  was diagnosed with breast cancer last July, the last thing she felt was beautiful. But the folks at Good Morning America dared her to be a model, and she seized the opportunity. It was a perfect way to push herself outside her comfort zone. 

One of the ideas I wanted to convey in BRALESS IN WONDERLAND is that of looking at beauty a different way. Owning who you are - including the way you look, flaws and all  - is empowering.  Roberts ditched her wig for the Isaac Mizrahi show because, "This is who I am." 

Now that's beautiful.  

Bravo to Robin Roberts AND Isaac Mizrahi for inspiring us. Mwah.

Dream Cast for BRALESS IN WONDERLAND

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Hey, a girl can dream, can't she? Here is my dream cast for Braless in Wonderland, the movie. (When I worked in casting, I thought it would be as easy and fun as writing this post. It wasn't.)

Allee, the main character, would be played by Emma Roberts. She has those full lips modeling agents love, and she's a terrific actress. Or possibly Miley Cyrus because Allee has to be funny too, and Miley can pull off comedy. Amanda Bynes I love, but she's too old for the part.



Emma Roberts


Summer, the stunning, blondy-licious model from Georgia would be played by new Australian supermodel Gemma Ward (she'd just need a dialogue coach - no biggie). If the accent is too big a prob, Dakota Fanning always delivers.


Gemma Ward


Monique, the aging, faded glam agency owner, would be played by Cher, natch. Also, Brigitte Nielsen would have the right combo of scary and chic. Yep, she would if you put her in the right suit. Trust me on this.





Claudette, the sexy, wise and maverick model, would be played by Rihanna.



Allee's parents would be played by Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas.

Zach Ephron would be Allee's gay friend Miguel. Oh, come on, people. This is not a stretch.



Sabrina, Allee's little sister, would be played by Ellen Page. Momma, Allee's tough-yet-maternal booker would be played by Camryn Manheim.
