A Model Parent

I saw this little piece about Christie Brinkley being proud that her daughter is following her into modeling:

It reminded me of a conversation I had with a dancer a couple months ago. The dancer, Lana, is very attractive and sometimes works as a model. She told me her daughter--who is 15--has begun modeling, and she showed me a picture of an attractive young girl. Lana is very proud of her daughter becoming a model.

But I wonder about this career. It's one thing for Christie Brinkley's daughter to go into modeling and get legitimate, high paying jobs. It's another thing for Lana's daughter.

Isn't it most likely that Lana's daughter will end up like Lana? Lana is a model, but she will never be a famous model. She is almost 40, works as a stripper, and does extras in VIP. I suspect she's also a high class escort, since she is always flying around the country.

Don't you think she would encourage her daughter to follow another career?
