Aubrey’s diary – Entry 2 (13 March 1983)

Today’s events really put me in a bad mood 🙁. I can’t believe this is happening to me after things went so well on Monday with the shoot. Sifiso, the photographer is amazing and his price really reflects that, which I don’t mind because I only want the best in order to properly launch my career. He asked for R750 for the whole portfolio. I only have half of that so I tried asking mum and dad for the rest, and they not only denied my request but they expressed their disapproval of my chosen endeavours. They believe I should go work in the mines or something like my peers. I’m doomed. How will I ever realise my dream of becoming a famous model?
