It is difficult to believe that the woman charged with changing the way America cooks, eats and shops was once a struggling student too. The perfect housewife (a little unnervingly stepford wife esque, if you ask me) Martha Stewart has recently made photographs of herself as a young model available, and she was an absolute stunner.

To pay her way through college, Stewart used her gorgeous looks and business savvy, which she’s been fine tuning ever since, to make a fairly successful business out of modelling. She modelled for big brands too, from Unilever to Chanel.
Her company shared the photos themselves rather than having them leak out. Not that the photographs should have been embarrassing to America’s culinary heroine if they had been leaked, but she decided to show them off on her own terms. Nigella Lawson made the same bold move, showing off photos of herself in full ’80s getup rather than secreting them away.

It is difficult to think of these domestic goddesses as what they are, mere humans like us. But moments like these, showing them as struggling students or less than elegant youths, certainly do help.
