Daily Inspiration Quote by Kylie Bax

"I wish I had Wonder Woman's magic lasso like her to make people tell the truth"

About this Quote

There is something disarmingly candid, and quietly sharp, in a fashion model admitting she’d like a superhero’s truth-extracting weapon. Kylie Bax isn’t pitching a grand philosophy; she’s naming a survival fantasy for an industry built on performance. The “magic lasso” is comic-book kitsch, but it’s also a clean metaphor for power in a world where power usually belongs to the people asking the questions, setting the terms, curating the image.

The intent feels less like cynicism than relief: imagine removing the exhausting labor of reading between lines. Modeling runs on controlled narratives - the publicist’s spin, the brand’s messaging, the social niceties that keep jobs and relationships intact. Wanting a tool that forces honesty is a wish to bypass the soft lies that grease every interaction, from casting rooms to dating to interviews. It’s not that everyone is lying all the time; it’s that truth is expensive, and women in highly visible roles are often the ones expected to pay.

The Wonder Woman reference matters because it’s truth plus glamour plus authority. The lasso doesn’t “win” through brute strength; it compels clarity. That’s a pointed choice for someone whose profession is frequently underestimated as “just looks.” Bax reaches for a symbol of feminine power that can’t be dismissed as aggression: a weapon that reads as justice, not vengeance.

Underneath the pop phrasing is a modern suspicion: we’re surrounded by messaging, and the hardest commodity to find is straight talk. The joke lands because it’s not really a joke. It’s a wish for leverage.
