Michelley answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 8:06 pm: You should go for it, doctors can help you get rid of the scar (*I saw it on The Swan) and if you were modeling something w.no back then you could probably put concealer over it. And a lot of things you would model mite not be bare-backed so it mite not even matter

bAhAmAmA0250 answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 7:39 pm: If they had a real huge problem with it they would have you cover it up with a certain top. Or put something over it. There is stuff for vanishing scars to i heard-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
angel411 answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 7:09 pm: of course you should still be a model. it wouldn't be fair to say no... however some agencies might but i doubt a lot would. if you have the right look then go for it! its good that your confident but u might want to tone it down a notch below "fabulous" ;) confidant + somewhat humble/sweet = great [ angel411's advice column | Ask angel411 A Question ]
Made4Monkeez answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 7:09 pm: I would go on with the dream. Its not like all the stuff you are going to wear is going to show your back. You should just keep trying and when you do have to wear stuff that shows your back, You could just cover it up with make-up.

tygereyedangel answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 6:53 pm: you can be anything you want... so there's a scar on your back.... that makes you special and different because of it... it's a good thing.. dream big and one day you'll be a model if you want to be... don't let others tell you other wise... it's your dreams not theirs... good luck...~_^ [ tygereyedangel's advice column | Ask tygereyedangel A Question ]
Karen answered Tuesday January 4 2005, 6:53 pm: Yes, you can still be a model! Why don't you buy a scar remover? I had a scar that was so noticable and big and I got a scar remover and it faded into my skin! Try using a concealer to hide the scar! Don't give up on your dream! Hope I helped :)
