Lindsay Scott is a super hot Victoria's Secret model now, but she wasn't always that way. Growing up she was a super skinny, adorable teen. We know, we know, it's a classic trope: the gangly girl who turns into a beautiful swan, but it's true: Scott knows the reality of going from the girl in the shadows to the one in the spotlight.

So what's it really like? "People offer me a lot more freebies," she joked. "I make money off of my looks through modeling, strangers talk to me more often, more people listen to me and laugh at my jokes, and I even have the occasional suitor."

But for real, it can be tough. "Would-be catcallers will sometimes skip the compliments and just call me a bitch as I walk by, some women (although very few) are very catty to me from the get-go." Plus, she says, she's stereotyped as a bimbo, despite the fact that she actually has a degree in computer science and programs iOS apps.

"I have to wonder, why didn't they like me then when I'm still the same person now? Why do they like me now? How do I know that they like me now? Does anyone actually really even like me now?" she says. Well, it does help that you're ridiculously hot now, Lindsay. [Business Insider]
