OK, I agree that the two devout contestants are to be commended for not selling out their morals. Still, were they that unfamiliar with mainstream fashion modelling, where being shot scantily clad or nude is as common as cops are in a doughnut shop? Methinks they should've flipped through a few fashion mags and watched some runway shows on TV before signing up. Not doing so is like applying to a firefighting training program and then backing out before graduation because hey, you might get injured or killed.
There are numerous modelling opportunities which don't require women to dress immodestly (or not at all): department-store clothing catalogues and the like. They don't pay nearly as well as being a supermodel does, but the chances of being hired are much greater. Also, besides the modesty factor, such venues would also spare them the sight or temptation of cocaine and heroin use, which is notoriously rampant in the supermodelling world.
