<p>I had an amazing conversation with fellow writer and podcaster Jackie Amsden. Jackie Amsden worked as a fashion model in China, Japan, and Taiwan before retiring at the age of eighteen after one too many agent threats, nude photo shoot requests, and self-loathing-induced Pocky binges. If you’d like to learn more about her descent into the darker side of Asia’s candy-coated modeling industry sign up for free installments of her upcoming memoir and get updates about the sequel to The Tokyo Cover Girls at <a href="//www.jackieamsden.com" target="_blank">www.jackieamsden.com</a></p> <p>Make sure you check out her podcast <a href="https://www.thesemumswrite.com/" target="_blank">These Mums Write</a> and follow her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jackieamsden/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.</p>
