On Sept. 20, 2003, 16-year-old Myla Grace Dalbesio of Racine, Wisconsin was crowned Miss Wisconsin Teen USA 2004 in Lake Delton, Wisconsin during her first attempt at the state teen title. [3] Through the pageant she was scouted by Missouri talent agents Jeff and Mary Clarke, who tried to put her in regular-size modeling. [4] She did not place among the 15 semi-finalists in the 2004 Miss Teen-USA pageant on August 6, 2004 in Palm Springs, California.
After being turned away by "straight-size" model agents at a scouting event in St. Louis, Missouri, at age 16, Dalbesio was eventually signed by the Ford Modeling Agency as a plus-size model (size 10), when she came in for a meeting at age 18. [5]

In 2011, she had three performance art shows, called Homecoming, Homecoming: Sophomore Year, and her Young Money exhibition. [15] Her last performance art piece, titled Young Money, was reviewed favorably by The New York Times. [16]
Dalbesio has exhibited her work internationally,[ citation needed ] and published two books. The first, Born Rich, was published by Edition Faust in 2013, and the second, Studies of Ecstasy, was published by Melville Brand Design in 2015.
In 2016 Dalbesio curated an all-female art show for the New York-based fair SPRING/BREAK. Titled You Can Call Me Baby, the show featured artists whose work "aimed to reclaim symbols traditionally used to undermine women". [17] The show was lauded by critics, [18] [19] including gaining a glowing review by from critic Paddy Johnson. [20]

A supermodel is a highly paid fashion model who has a worldwide reputation and background in haute couture and commercial modeling. The term became popular in the 1990s. Supermodels usually work for prominent fashion designers and clothing brands. They may have multimillion-dollar contracts, endorsements, and campaigns. Supermodels have branded themselves as household names and worldwide recognition is associated with their modeling careers. They have been on the covers of leading fashion magazines. Claudia Schiffer stated in 2007 that, "In order to become a supermodel one must be on all the covers all over the world at the same time so that people can recognise the girls."
