Where She Draws It

Annabel Thomson, British glamour model, built a career out of a very specific negotiation: lingerie, swimwear, pin-up—but topless was off the table. In an industry that treats limits as obstacles to be managed, that kind of consistency is either a professional decision or a personal one, probably both. I don’t do topless sounds like the flat declarative that gets repeated in every interview until it becomes the whole story. What that story leaves out is usually more interesting.
