Model Agency

We are a race of people who are corrupted by our media. Just to be clear, I'm not bashing per say, but rather making a point.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

We worship celebrities and beautiful people. It's amusing just how far your looks can take you. If you have the right image, you can even get paid for it. Check out the infinite beautiful people on television, clothing ads, and magazine covers. We're consistently encouraged to worship them. They're what's talked about so frequently via all forms of media. It's no wonder that every young male and female want to be a model. They want that level of acceptance. They assume once a legitimate model agency signs them, they're officially beautiful. But, how difficult is it to penetrate this high-end business?

Are you considering a future in modeling? I'm not here to tell you whether or not you should or shouldn't. But, I can offer a few pointers regarding what it is a model agency will be looking for.

As to me, I know nothing else but miracles.

Start with your height. This is a crucial aspect. The high fashion industry has certain demands. For men, they're looking for a height between 5'11 and 6'3". Typically you won't see male models shorter or taller than this. When I paid a visit to Elite modeling agency in Chicago, they expressed that 6'1" is ideal. As for the girls, it's generally more like 5'8" to 6'. Ideally you're looking at 5'10". Now, on to the overall appearance. Think straight white teeth, radiant clear skin, awesome hair, and a toned body. Naturally you'll want to be symmetrical. Hey, this is modeling we're talking about here. You get paid to look a certain way. Obviously you should look your best before approaching a model agency. There are plenty of fellow aspiring models to vie with. Get used to that.

When I dabbled in the business of modeling, this is where I went wrong. Physique! I don't care if you're male of female; you need a stellar body for modeling. Mine wasn't buff enough. While I wasn't fat at all, I didn't have enough muscles either. Guys should be ripped, and girls should have well-toned bodies. A high end model agency will demand this. So you girls can't simply look in the mirror and think you're slim enough. Measure your body fat. You may appear slim, but is what you have lean muscle and not fat? This is key! If you plan to earn a living off of your looks, you'd better bring your A-game to the table.

A brother does not have to necessarily say anything to you-he can sit in a room and be together with you and just be completely comfortable with you.
