20 Out Models We Love

They’re here, they’re out, and they’re prettier than you and everyone you know. Gayish girl models are super hot but also super annoying in the vein of all models. Where once there was a dearth of gay girls making money off looking damn fine, now girl loving models sprinkle the internet landscape like glorious glitter. Here is, in no particular order, The Top 20 Queer Models of 2014.

1. Heather KemeskyWho is she? A 25-year-old Newport Beach native with shaggy chestnut hair, almond eyes, a fondness for androgynous apparel, and striking good looks. What has she done? Clients include Veer NYC, Forever 21, Joseph Jeans, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Pottery Barn, Revolve Clothing and Target. Why do I care? Heather is a die hard Tim Burton fan with a pet snake and acting aspirations. Will we ever hook up? In an October 2013 interview with AE fashion favorite Veer NYC, Heather rhapsodized, “My girlfriend’s smile and laugh literally kills me. It never fails to make me melt and smile.” If Heather is single and you resemble her ex Erika Linder a. you might have a shot and b. sup? Would we even be compatible? Heather Kemesky is a Scorpio.
