What does a day in the life look like for a  Victoria’s Secret  Angel? For Jasmine Tookes, it has to include some reality TV–when it’s time to relax, of course. Before that, it’s early morning shoots, hair and makeup and lots of travel. Exercise is also a huge part of the lifestyle. “Having a buddy really helped with that,” Tookes says. “Some days, you’re down and you don’t want to go to the gym, but if your girlfriend calls you, like Josephine [Skriver] for example, you kind of have to say yes.

It’s really interesting because in Asian culture, sk...

I realized ‘Oh, there’s a different way to think about things, in terms of how structures are created.’ I think that’s the first step to becoming woke: understanding that you’re programmed. That you grow up in a system I’m waiting to meet  Constance Wu  outside Blue Bottle Coffee in L.A.’s Echo Park, when I realize I’m not 100 per cent certain I’ll recognize her out of character. I’d seen Wu’s show-stealing breakout work on  Fresh Off the Boat , where she plays the mother of food personality Eddie Huang (or some prepubescent version of him) with more nuance than most sitcom moms could imagine, but she likely wasn’t going to turn up looking like Jessica Huang in a loose floral-print dress from the early ’90s. Not to mention, seeing famous people in real life is a little like hearing your cellphone ringing in the other room—you’re pretty sure it’s your ringtone, but it’s so faint that it could easily be a police siren down the block or your brain messing with you.
