Plenty of coffees.

很多的飲料杯。

Phones, makeup, lipstick, lots of nail polish.

電話、化妝品、口紅，還有很多指甲油。

For the past decade hand modeling has been my full-time job.

過去十年，手模是我的全職工作。

It really is funny work.

這是很有趣的工作。

I'm Adele Uddo and I am a parts model.

我是 Adele Uddo ，而我是一名局部模特兒。

Parts modeling is short for body parts modeling so I mainly do hands but I've done lips, legs, feet, eyes, chest, even ear lobes.

局部模特是身體局部模特的縮寫，我主要當手模，但我也做過嘴模、腿模、腳膜、胸模，甚至是耳垂模。

I am generally known as a high-end hand--Dior and Christian Louboutin.

我通常被稱為專櫃手—— 因為我為 Dior 跟 Christian Louboutin 當手模。

Most parts models have a side gig.

大部分的局部模特兒都有副業。

There's just a handful of us, so to speak, that do it full time.

可以說，只有少數幾個人全職從事這份工作。

It's sort of a you know underground-ish subculture of modeling.

這有點像是模特界的地下次文化。

It's something that I sort of fell into.

我比較像是不小心進入這個行業。

I certainly didn't plan for a career in parts.

我完全沒有當局部模特兒的計畫。

I had been told a few times, mainly by my grandmother, that I had nice hands so I went on a casting once and ended up booking this big job, and thought, you know, maybe my grandmother is onto something.

有好幾次，尤其是我的祖母告訴我，我的手很好看，所以我去了一次試鏡，結果就得到這份工作，我覺得我祖母可能眼光很好。

What they typically look for is like, the shape of the hand: Long fingers, thin wrists, great skin tone is crucial.

他們通常看的是手的形狀：長手指、細手腕，膚色好都很重要。

If you look good cropped, you've got a career.

如果你的手看起來很棒，那麼你就拿到工作了。

I love parts modeling in that I can be, like, viewed by millions of people and still remain private and anonymous.

我喜歡當局部模特，因為就算我被數以百萬的人看過，還是能保有隱私和保持匿名。

For many years I felt almost ashamed to be a parts model and I think it was ultimately because I was raised by this hippie feminist mother and her friends.

多年以來，我對於身為一名局部模特幾乎感到羞恥，我認為這終歸於我是被嬉皮女權主義的媽媽和她的朋友們撫養長大的。

I felt like I was somehow betraying them by becoming this objectified body parts model.

成為物質化的身體局部模特讓我覺得自己好像背叛了她們。

There was this girly part of me that just wanted to express myself and wear lipstick and somehow I felt guilty when I did that.

我體內女性化的那部分只是想表達自己並塗上口紅，但是我這樣做的時候卻感到內疚。

I really love what I do, and I'm grateful for what I've been able to do.

我很愛我做的事，我也很感激我有能力做。

Sometimes I judge myself for not being deep enough, you know, I've wanted to contribute more to society than nice nail beds.

有時候我覺得自己不夠有內涵，我想為社會做出更多貢獻，而不是只當好看的甲床。

I'm not too precious with my parts.

我沒有過度珍惜我的身體部位。

I have learned to take pride in my work and to take it more seriously than I used to.

我學會了為自己的工作感到自豪，並比以往更加認真地對待它。

But I also want to have a life and use my hands.

但我也希望在我的生活中用到我的雙手。

I garden, I hike, I swim, I dance.

我弄園藝、我爬山、我游泳、我跳舞。

I would say that when your body becomes sort of an object it's harder in some ways to inhabit it.

當你的身體變成一種物品的時候，生活在某些方面就會變得很困難。

Because my body parts are literally under a microscope, a macro lens and everything shows, I think I scrutinize myself more than actually I have felt scrutinized by the industry.

因為我的身體部位實際上是照在顯微鏡下，一種微距鏡頭下而且看得一清二楚，所以我對自己的要求比這個產業對我的還要多。

I admit to obsessively moisturising.

我承認我沉迷於保濕。

Probably five-ish to 15 times-ish a day.

每天大概要塗 5 到 15 次。

So every year I'm going through at least a gallon of lotion.

所以每一年我會用掉最少一加侖的乳液。

I created a lotion actually, Essentiel by Adele.

事實上我創了一個乳液品牌，叫 Essentiel by Adele。

Sort of out of necessity because I had to keep my skin in shape for these macro close-up photographs where it's literally down to the cuticle.

算是出於需求，因為我不得不為這些微距特寫照片保持皮膚的樣貌，而這些照片實際上就是看表面。

So I ultimately wanted, like, a premium face lotion I could afford to put all over my body.

所以我希望有類似高級臉部乳液，但我能負擔得起的來塗我的全身。

I don't believe you need a bazillion bottles in your bathroom, I believe it can be a lot more simple and more effective.

我不認為你的浴室需要那麼多瓶瓶罐罐，我相信保養可以更簡單且更有效。

It's not that difficult, it ultimately comes down to ingredients.

沒那麼難，因為最終還是歸因於成分。

I don't really consider myself a great cook but I can cook a good lotion.

我並不認為自己是一名好廚師，但我可以煮出好的乳液。

I don't think you can really miss that there's sort of an inherent absurdity to what I do.

你一定沒辦法忽略我做的這件事情本身有多荒謬。

I'm always surprised at how natural the hands look when I'm hand doubling for someone because it's such an unnatural process.

當我把手擺在別人身上的時候，我總是很驚訝我的手居然看起來不突兀，因為這是一個很不自然的過程。

I'm, you know, underneath someone's arm pit like trying to gracefully put my hand on the side of their face.

我窩在別人的腋下，試著將我的手優雅地擺在他們的臉旁。

Parts modelling is what I do, it's not really who I am.

局部模特是我的職業，不能代表我。

It's part of who I am, and I've learned to appreciate it.

這是我的一部分，我已經學會了欣賞它。

But yeah, I don't take it all so seriously.

但我沒有那麼嚴肅地看待這件事。

Now I realize we can be many things, many parts we can have even conflicting parts of ourselves; I can be superficial and deep, you know, it's not an either or.

現在我意識到我們可以有很多身份、很多面向，我們也可以很矛盾； 我可以膚淺但同時有內涵，不是只能二選一。

Thanks for watching.
