Hello, thank you so much! This is why I'm here giving advice, to help people. I hope that my advice is respected, and helpful.
Now to answer your question, I think the modeling you are reffering to is fashion modeling, such as editorial modeling. I believe that you can email Macy's and ask them, if they are looking for models, the same with a lot of other mag's like those. Keep in mind that some of them may have a FAQ, containing info on their models, etc.
You can also look for an agency, but always make sure it's legitimate. All agencies posted on www.models.com are legitimate. It's also a great way for you to post a portfolio, and legitimate agencies may contact you. Plus, you do not have to give your personal info, only unless you want to give an angency that information.
You can go to agencies websites (google them), and there should be all instuctions for sending in your picks to the angency. You don't have to worry about only sending photos to one agency, you can send them to as many as you would like, and explore you options.
I think probably the most important thing I can tell you about modeling is -- you never have to pay money for an agency to accept you. Once an angency accepts you, then they take a percentage of the money you make from the jobs you book, or they book you.You also do not have to take your clothes off, for an angency to accept you. These are both equally (and sadly) common things, that modeling scams use. Do not fall for them.
Always stay healthy, meaning do not fall into the pit of those ultra skinny girls who starve themselves, and other unhealthy things. Always the most important thing is to be healthy, proper excerise and try to eat healthy foods, but here's a secret (incase you don't already know) -- you can actually eat anything you want, just eat in small portions and you'll be fine.
Good luck, and thanks again!
P.S. From your pic, I think your look is very commercial (as in commercial modeling).
