modeling agencies that are for real. :)
I am a 13 yearold girl who loves clothes, shoes and all that stuff. :) I need a job and modeling would be really fun and exciting cause I love to try on clothes. Modeling for magazines and websites. Runway would be a little too much and scary for me but if anyone knows good places to or how to get started. That would help and is appreciated. (: the closet big city to me would probably be Boston, MA. so if anyone knows some places or some people that are for real. Please give me there name, what they need, how i can meet them, if there's a cost and everything else needed to know about it. Thanks ! :)

My suggestion for you is to actually get a portfolio made. You are going to want a reputable photographer take a LOT of different and unique photos of you. You want to show that you are diverse and can give the look the client is looking for. You need to research what they are looking for and get some pictures that fit that discription. Once you have a good portfolio done you need clothes. You need an array of different types of clothing from simple and elegant to out landish plus a good pair of heals. Then you need to go to NY and go to as many agencies that you can find and literally knock on their doors and prove yourself. Let me give you an example: You want to do a Macy's commercial or print ad. You contact Macys and ask what agency they go through to find their talent. They will give you the name and so you call the agency and set up a time to show your portfolio or you can go straight to the agency and knock on the doors yourself.
As far as money- if anyone asks for money DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY. You are going to be working for someone and they are to give you money. The only money you need to shell out is for your pictures. Even if they tell you it's just a one time fee or a small fee or you can make payments. It is a SCAM!!
On the other side of things, you can not show any client that you are afraid to do runway or anything else. Whatever they ask tell them you can do it with confidence. Suck up those nerves and DO IT. Don't be afraid, you will be fine.
There is one exception to this rule. NEVER EVER pose nude for anyone no matter what. Even when you are 25 years old, if that is what they are looking for you tell them "your body is worth more than money" then run away. Never do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or that you would be ashamed for your mother to see. You are a wonderful girl and you must command respect from yourself and everyone else.
Now back to the NY trip. Be prepared to be there for a good month.( this summer would be great) These things take time and once everything falls into place be prepared to move. Don't let the agency know you are from out of town until you have signed the contract. They are more likily to choose someone local over an out of towner.
I wish you the best of luck!
