@Denise: Nothing shameful in having porters help with carrying bags – we also had one for the two of us. It wasn’t so much that she had people carrying her stuff that made us realize she was famous, it was more the amount of stuff that she had. Most people had 1 porter for their one bag (up to 20 kilos), but she had 2 porters and two big bags. That was the difference

I don’t get why the fact that she had a lot of people carrying her stuff should have made people realise she was famous…not everyone is strong enough to carry stuff…I am no supermodel and can’t drag 15 kg of stuff up a mountain on my back, and would only do it if I could hire someone to help. Is that so shameful?

@Len:Note that most of the judgment of Gemma that we share in this post is not ours (1st hand), it’s mainly of others, viewers of Fashion TV. Having said that, once you join the ranks of the well-known as Gemma had, you are subject to a different kind of scrutiny, for better or worse. And of all the scrutiny that Gemma has and had been subject to, I’d say this is easily some of the fairest. After all, we make the point (“hats off..”) that it never registered to us along the way that she was anyone — what’s the word — special.

It’s filed under humor because it’s ironic. There is in fact no way to trek like a supermodel.

Why is this filed under “Humor”? Daniel and Audrey, she sounds like a regular person who is out to enjoy a hike (hats off to her) – and, like regular people, has a few very minor quirks. What are your quirks?

@Lisa: We kid you not on the acoustic guitar. After each meal the lesson book would come out for more practice. We’re thinking the bags were full of clothes and products – how else could she still look good after not showering for days like us?? Or perhaps a portable hot shower? We do wish we had known her identity in advance to have gotten a better photo of her with Rasta Depp. Oh well.

@Maria: Glad we made you grin! Annapurna was an incredible experience, super model and all.

I love this post…it’s hilarious! Well-done, too. Did she really have an acoustic guitar with her? And how about those bags? Clothes? Weights/bands for exercise? I’d love to see a shot of her and Rasta Depp–would be awesome!

@Alex: So true! It is very funny to see people in real life that you’ve seen previously on TV or in a magazine – makes you realize the power of make up and technology.

Such a funny story!
But I’m not surprised you were not sure, every girl looks different with the make-up and retouch!
