In her selfies, she doesn\u2019t wear much makeup and doesn\u2019t carefully blow-dry her naturally curly hair. She shows off her armpit hair and cartoonish tattoos, which include eggs and bacon in the shape of a smiley face and a cow.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As Ivan Bart, president of IMG Models, explained in an interview with the <em>Times<\/em>, being a model is &#8220;not really about shape, size or gender anymore.&#8221; Emhoff was a perfect fit for the organization, Bart said, because she exudes &#8220;cheekiness&#8221; and &#8220;joy,&#8221; and &#8220;communicates this moment in time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While most journalists seemed to agree with that assessment, there were a few exceptions.\u00a0<em>Slate<\/em> published an <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/human-interest\/2021\/01\/ella-emhoff-model-contract-ugh.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> expressing frustration with &#8220;the way Emhoff\u2019s deal has been conveyed and celebrated&#8221; as a norm-destroying coup, pointing out that there isn&#8217;t anything particularly revolutionary or diverse about being a rich, white, tall, thin, female Brooklynite with tattoos and armpit hair.<\/p>\n<p>See for yourself:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1440415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ella-insta.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bart was an early max donor to Harris&#8217;s failed presidential campaign, according to federal election records. He reportedly met Emhoff at the fundraiser where he presumably wrote the check for $2,700.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer of 2020, around the time Joe Biden picked Harris as his running mate, Bart and Emhoff began discussing the possibility of a modeling contract with IMG. It would seem, however, that a final decision wasn&#8217;t made until Harris was sworn in as vice president.<\/p>\n<p>IMG is part of an entertainment conglomerate run by Ari Emanuel, brother of Rahm Emanuel, the former Obama chief of staff, and Patrick Whitesell, a prolific Democratic donor who contributed more than $150,000 to Democratic candidates and committees in the 2020 election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Emhoff isn&#8217;t the only member of Harris&#8217;s family cashing in on the success of the Biden-Harris ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Kamala&#8217;s niece, Meena Harris, published a Kamala-themed children&#8217;s book in 2020, and a second book released on the eve of the inauguration.
