I was watching this video about a 'dumped' model. She said 'If you wanna model, go for it! It's a great experience, you get to travel the world and meet new people. You just have to stand your ground and don't listen when they say to starve yourself Your health and wellbeing is more important then fitting beauty standards.' I completely agree. Being a model sounds amazing (i would like to do it even thought I'm a mouldy potato), I just don't agree with the pressure that is put on these men and women to look like Ken and Barbie.

I dated Kim Snowden for a while. One of John Casablanca's favorite models. She was with Ford and Elite model management. But she was discovered at 18 at a shopping mall. Some guy walked up to her and gave the pitch and a phone number. She never though of being a model. But in the 90s, she was one of the top 10 paid models in top 10 ranked models in the world.

It's not all it's cracked up to be. I mean, aside from the constant scrutiny on your looks, the pressure to be underweight and maintain it, and the sexual harassment, there is a lot of financial exploitation that occurs. Getting signed is no guarantee of work; they set models up in these shared apartments that are like 2 bedrooms and 6 or 7 girls, and take it out of your paycheck; when you get booked overseas your travel and accommodation expenses also have to be reimbursed to your agency; sometimes you get paid in clothes and accessories rather than cash. Unless you make it to the top of the heap, you don't really make that much money. It isn't unusual for rookie models to be living below the poverty line making $10,000 a year. I've heard some models say that they actually end up OWING their agencies money rather than turning a profit. During fashion shows models have to get up really early in the morning but are required to stay really late at night with very few meal and rest breaks. And for the most part, by the time you reach 26 you're considered "too old" for the industry. If you gain weight or your appearance changes, you get dropped, and there's little concern shown to models who show signs of drug use and eating disorders.

There is a documentary on these people and it truly shows how awful they are. They tell potential models exactly what her measurements need to be, give them a matter of weeks to get there, and if their waists are a centimeter away, they cut them off no matter how beautiful they are. Not to mention, they let teenagers make major career decisions(as do all model scouts, obviously). The modeling industry is a truly awful one. Do not let videos like this fool you.

Yeah anything a little weird or off about a model is not necessarily because they're pretty but because it stands out. If you find a flaw in someone's face you're most likely to stare at them more and thus you look them up and down more and then 'wolla' you're intrigued by the clothes and not the model anymore and you've sold you're product if you're a designer. That's why some gap teeth, thick brows, and set apart eyes helps as long as the person is still kind of attractive.

Modelling isn't that much fun, it's hard work, many jobs you do are unpaid, people treat you like shit, and you end up in lots of debt to your agency. If you're not booking jobs, they'll keep inviting you to have new polaroids taken (at a cost each time). It all gets added to your account. Think long and hard before you choose this career.

"We treat them like our kids", yeah I'm sure you do. Telling them to skip a week of meals to look "beautiful". It's so stupid and everyone knows that. It is sad and disgusting to watch these girls being judged and poked and prodded and made to feel bad about themselves. It is truly horrible

If i given a change to be a model i would accept it with all my heart this is the dream i've been wanting since i was a child despite of my height, body and face. I think model nowadys are more looking for something unique and diverse that can rock the photoshoots and runways and that's a beautiful thing.

Im 5'11 but im not 'model skinny' and im 16 but i live on a small island in the caribbean and here they do have like shoots for the island magazines and for carnival or like smal clothing stores for the newspaper ads and stuff like that but they don't really go out and notice or pick out potential people. They kind of just choose those who are like most popular in some schools or like who are skinny enough or pretty enough but i do have to say the one thing i find good that they do here on my island is that you could be plus size and they'd pick you but you just have to either be well known or pretty. When you're tall and young the first thing people tell you whether they know you or not is, "you should be a model" which is kind of cool because you feel so much better about yourself but that also confuses you about who you want to be, it changes your whole view point in life and then you start questioning what you want. I myself is confused right now

Dude, modeling is not a great thing to get into a lot of the time. I remember trying to get into it and it wasn’t fun. I was tall enough, and they were fine with my waist, but my hips were too big for them, and when my mom heard that she dragged me out of there. Hated that area of my body for YEARS after that. Unless major reform happens in that industry, I would never consider trying it again or recommending it to anyone else.

I’m pretty average in height, or pretty much short considered. I once tried to audition for a modeling job. They loved me, only problem was is my height. They required 5’9 women but said it was open to all ages and heights. Makes no since. It’s hard to chase your dreams now or days.

I honestly want to do this! Modelling is definetely what im going for with my future career, although im just not sure how to get started :/

I feel like official modelling agencies are very restrictive, you just wait around for them to find you a job by sending your profile around. While with Instagram or KZread, you can make videos, talk about yourself, express yourself and the opportunities are endless. You are more heard if you can build your audience.

get experience. find someone you know to be a photographer and practice posing. don't trade with some scummy "photographer" online because they are just a creepy guy with a camera after your nudes. also don't pay a ton for photos. just get a friend who can take decent photos. modeling is like acting on still photos. you need a range of expressions, poses, interact with environment, make it believable but also sell the product you are wearing/visiting. you need confidence. you also need to know your face well, best angles, etc. dance can help with body control, acting can help with expressions, a mirror will help with angles. in the end most models are nobodies clothes hangers, be careful what you wish for, as it is exciting, but short lived career for many. also have your morals and stand ground, people will pressure you all around. lastly, you will face rejection, don't take it personally.
