MODELING-please help if youv had any experience in modeling!
Question Posted Thursday January 20 2005, 11:29 pm
hey I'm 15 and I went with my dad to his commercial shoot and I talked to the make-up ladies alot. At the end of the trip they told my dad that I would make a good model and I should really look into it. I'm about 5'7, long dark brown hair (about 2in past my bra) green eyes, about 110-115pounds. I was wondering how you got into modeling and who the right people to talk to and call would be? Also, what are they looking for in a person to be a model, like body type, looks, height, weight, all of those sorts of things? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks :o)

Just because she said you'd make a great model doesn't mean you're perfect yet. You need perfect skin, perfect weight & height ((you have to be 5'8"+ to do runway)), perfect teeth, perfect hair ((NEVER have roots if you dye it)), & that's just the physical part. You can NEVER look bad. You must always look presentable & "perfect" no matter what. You need a lot of money. You need to have a flexible schedule. They don't really care about personality. However, being snooty to people they consider "lower" but adoring "perfect" people is something they like.
Find a good photographer to take modeling photos. That'll cost you $5OO+. Create a modeling portfolio. Find an agent. That will take you many tries. When you finally have one, you'll probably start local. It's very hard to get professional.

Anyways John Casablanca is a good modeling deal. Look up on them and always remember one important thing that if any place makes you pay its fake-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
