Behind-the-scenes shots of Jenna Talackova.

When I was being interviewed by Leah Chernikoff earlier this week, I told my ELLE US sis that we were really thrilled to have Jenna Talackova in the pages of our book for two reasons: 1. We really admired how she’s handled everything she’s been through. 2. It’s a delight to spent time with someone on set who’s beyond thrilled to be there. Models and celebs can get a little jaded by the experience, so when you spend the day with someone who is living out her fantasy—that’s pretty lovely to watch. When I interviewed her for the little video I did, she told me that she had pinned photos from ELLE Canada magazine on her vision board three years ago. Her dream was to be shot by us and now that dream had come true. This January 19, her new show, Brave New Girls, premieres on E!. Episode 3 is all about her day with ELLE Canada. It airs February 2nd at 10pm EST / 7pm PST, following the Kardashians.
