Fashion Friday: The Bionic Model

What better way to start off my first Fashion Friday, but with The Bionic Model herself? Rebekah Marine is your typical beautiful model, well besides the fact that she has a prosthetic right arm anyways. She’s been around since 2011. But she didn’t make it big till she modeled for FTL MODA, and then came her feature in Nordstroms 2015 catalog and another call from FTL MODA got her into New York Fashion Week (NYFW). And well, she’s blown up since then! And not only is she a model, she’s also an ambassador for Touch Bionics, a company that’s advancing in the bionics game. And ambassador for the Lucky Fin Project, to raise awareness and support those with an “upper limb difference” as mentioned by the website. Though she’s been getting deeper into the model game, there are still times she gets turned down “My image isn’t for everyone; I’ve accepted that.” She says. I love that the world is turning into a more open place bit by bit, because women like her turn out to be a real good role model and inspiration to some who feel that they don’t have the right image. To this day Rebekah works for a car dealership so modeling is really in her free time, and that speaks volumes that she’s doing what she loves and that’s just a beautiful thought. Rebekah Marine you’re a beautiful woman, and I hope you can inspire and show that anyone can be a model if they just put their mind to it.
