Carol Alt: Don't Call Me a Cougar

Saturday, September 6, 2008

Momlogic spoke to the supermodel and Celebrity Apprentice star about her book, working with Trump, her raw food diet and her boyfriend who's 13 years younger.

Momlogic: Why did you write your novel, This Year's Model?
Carol Alt: My mother freaked out when I started modeling. This book will help moms with daughters who want to go into modeling.

ML: What do you think about kids who want to model?
CA: It depends on the age. I was 18 when I started--so my parents couldn't stop me--but the best thing I did was keep my family involved in my career. I could always go home--I had a safe haven.

ML: What advice do you have for parents with teenagers who want to model?
CA: Keep her close. If she's 13--never let her go anywhere alone. It always amazed me that 13-year-old girls were staying at peoples' homes who their parents didn't even know. New York is a mecca for con artists. I would never let my daughter go to anyone's home alone. They would never be allowed to sleep out. As much as they hate it, they need to be protected.
