Most people have unreal expectations of what kind of models they want to be.

It's hard to be a catwalk model. You don't have to be gorgeous but you have to be versatile and have something unusual about you, that gives you an edge.

Most people think that because a few people think they're hot they can make it. Most likely the only field they'd be able to get into is glamour and television ads and catalogues depending on their look.

That's how our Fashion Show was this year
Pathetic is the only word I can think of

I'm tall enough to be a model, I guess. My size is ok. [5'10", 130lbs]
But I'd probably need to weigh twenty pounds less to be considered seeing as average weighted people suck.
People tell me I have nice bone structure, in the face. But you can't really tell because I wear glasses emo
I can't model because my vision sucks anyway. I can't even fit contacts in my eyes, walking down a runway I would trip over myself or keep walking at the end >__>

Your beautiful! I think that height to weight ratio is okay for modeling though! And like the other girl in the post, that height is great, especially for a girl! smile

it's because they have low self-esteem, are quite self-absorbed, and create huge false egos for themselves to cover up for both.

at least, in my experience.

Agreed! The only thing is i am not sure about runway models having to have an edge. Sure, if they have amazing bone structure that will surely get them more work because of their look alone, but i don't think you have to necessarily have an edginess factor to be a catwalk model. It's hard for me to say.

[jiggly jellyfish]

because some time in your life your going to be "interested" in "photography" and then you think thats modeling, its just basically a fad, or phase?

[xXx_tulip_xXx]

I dont think being a model is the exact cereer ambitions someone should have

Modelling is more about having "interesting features".

I mean, look at Kate Moss!

Because they don't know what it's really like to be a model...If they want to be treated like little dolls and like they have the IQ of a 2nd grader, then kudos to them. stare

Not all models get treated like that. At least that is what i think.

Probably not, but I'm only talking from experience and my coordinator was b!tch. mad

Really? Well people in that industry can be very bitchy, so it might not be that they are treating you like you are stupid because they think you are, but just because they are bitchy you know?

Yep, and I hated it. So that's why I got out of it. Trust me kiddies, modeling isn't as glamorous as you think it is. Heck, I still remember the time I brought my Psychology book with me so I could study during the down times and transitions, and then out of nowhere, my coordinator snatches the book out of my hand and told me to stop pretending to be smart and threw it in the trash can T.T

That's the thing with modeling, it's a really hard industry in a lot of different aspects. I am into modeling as well, so i do know that it isn't as glamorous as it appears to be. But you kind of have to just fight through all the drama and hard times if it's something you really want to do you know? I know it's easier said then done, but you just really have to push through, and have faith.

Some of the models I've seen are fugly.
On America's Next Top Model most of the women there only look good in the pictures BECAUSE THEY'RE MASSIVELY EDITED. Hell, *I'm* prettier than some of them. ME.
Hell, if I was 6 inches taller and wore high heels, I'd be the least ugly of them all D<
