Chrissy Teigen is sort of the Jennifer Lawrence of the modeling world. No, she doesn't trip a lot (to my knowledge?) but she does toe the line between self-deprecating charm and foot-in-mouth chaos in that J.Law-patented way. Like onLate Night With Seth Meyers this week, when the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Editioncover star was super-flip about her day job, joking "I am paid a good amount of money to not blink for 12 hours," and admitting that she doesn't take modeling very seriously. ("Listen, you get to travel, meet a lot of people, it's fun, but I don't take it very seriously, no.") Blasphemy! Somewhere Tyra Banks is voodoo-dolling Teigen for challenging the whole modeling is the most hardest thing ever ever notion, but still smize-ing while doing so because SHE IS A PROFESSIONAL.

Anyyyywayy, then Chrissy's chat with Seth slid from that humble banter about her career choice into a hilarious confession about how drunk tweeting and professional modeling don't mix. Watch it at the 1:16 mark:"I had a razor campaign and I think I maybe had a little too much to drink one night and I was like 'I HATE RAZORS!'" Chrissy said, miming typing. "And that's not exactly good for endorsing any kind of brand," she laughed. She was probably referring to this tweet...

...which she fired off while signed as the face of a brand new Gillette razor.

Obviously, to please her agents and the advertising people, she probably shouldn't have been tweeting about feeling anything less than PSYCHED about shaving because it's soooo fun. Except it's not, even for people who like those fancy moisture strip razors, like me—and Teigen tells it like it is. It may make her a "bad" model, but it does make her seem like a GOOD person to hang out with—which, like Jennifer Lawrence's appeal—makes her the kind of person who can most likely sell me things, anyway, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. Keep doing what you're doing, Chrissy?
