yourself no matter where the road leads. |

 ID: 228723 Posts: 52 | Date: 2008-03-05 12:18 you're getting too sexy for your age in your portfolio...in my opinion, but
other than that you still have some growing to do. As a young model you should
do fine. Just take care of yourself and eat the right foods and the right amount
(as in not too little and not too much) and exercise... you should grow up to a
beautiful woman. |

suggestive manner. Clean it up and try again. |

I see what you are saying but I disagree that these poses are that suggestive.
Posing is about acting, we encourage models to look in magazines and copy the
poses that they see there. Sure we don't want under 16's doing implied nude or
as we have seen in the past wearing see-through t-shrts and a skimpy pair a
knickers but this child is fully clothed in every day wear.
Modeling poses by the nature have a sexy edge to them, unless we are to
restricted to the year book stand still and stare at the camera pose. But one
needs to look at the intentions of the individual, when looking at these poses
to determine the motive behind the image. All little girls dress up in their
mothers clothes, high heels, lipstick and a boa if they have one. Does it mean
that they instantly become suggestive. I don't think so, they are acting out
what they see adults do. There is no sexual intentions and I don't see this 10
year old trying to look sexy and enticing, I see a child having fun and copying
poses that they see in magazines every day.
Now Diana, to address the real question. Do you have what it takes ? Well what
it takes is a lot of hard work, a passion and dedication. If you want to be good
at anything then you have to work damn hard. It looks to me like you are a
little over weight. At 10 years old this probably isn't too much of a problem as
you still have a lot of growing to go. But by the time you get to 17 you need to
be at modeling weight. I'm not talking under weight like models were expected to
be 10 years ago. I'm talking about a healthy weight and you will need to be fit
and toned. You will need to hit the gym probably every day or at least every
other day. Do you have what it takes ? Only you will know. Okay so lets assume
that by the time you get to 17 you have a great figure, that will be you and 10%
of the other girls your age. What you need to do to be better than them is know
how to model. If you are really serious you will attend modeling school. There
is a lot to learn and you will have more chance of success if you have been
taught the skills. Finally you need a personality and charisma. If you have ever
watched ANTM you will see that most of the girls are beautiful, most can model
and most have the commercial look that sells, what differentiates them from one
another is their attitude. Time after time you hear the judges talk about poor
attitude and those are the girls that get eliminated. Directors, photographers,
clients, want a model to have personality and not be a diva.
Do you have what is takes ? I don't know, do you ?

She is but a little girl... She doesn't know if she has what it takes!
The bottom line is this:
Bad pics
overweight
Shouldn't be here alone anyway
No way, no how. Mike-- do you even remotely think that little girl has the
cognitve ability to understand what you have said to her?
As a teacher I can tell you she does not.

In your response to Mike you ask " do you even remotely think that little girl
has the cognitve ability to understand what you have said to her? "
Yes, she fully understands what he said to her. He said it in a way that was not
condescending or offensive . He offered criticism and yet still gave her some
hope. Unlike you, who says she's a teacher, yet still criticize a child in a way
that leaves her feeling less sure of herself. Every young girl dreams of being a
model, I'm sure that 99% don't make it, but as a teacher you should know to
never discourage a child from their dreams. She understands fully what you said
to her also.
As to her being on here alone, she is never alone while on here. |

ID: 209800 Posts: 335 | Date: 2008-03-06 14:36 Ok.. so I do not wish to appear harsh. I do however, wish to be honest. If you
go to an agency they will tell you the same that I have. They will be unfeeling
and state the facts as they see them. If you feel modeling is what your family
wants, then you'll have to fit into the standards that the industry has set
forth. I don't make the rules in this game. They do. Look around at other sites
and SEE the kinds of looks that girls her age have. Simply Google it and see for
yourself. It is a hard business and Cheri' and I have both been through
disappointment and fustration. But we are realistic too. There is no runway in
my daughter's future. She doesn't fit the industry standards. You truly need to
research and gain an understanding of the market. That's all...
The pics are not good. Sometimes we don't see the faults that other see. To tell
you the truth, I was emailed about her this morning. The email addressed the
issues/ concerns over the poses. I believe a ticket may have been submitted on
this issue. I am not the only one that believes the pics are not good. Sorry.
As a teacher, I tell my kids to be realistic in what they want to be/do in life.
False hope is not good either.

Sheri, the girl is 10 years old not 5. It wasn't as if I said anything that was
remotely difficult to understand. Basically if you want to succeed work hard.
I understand how protective you are about minors on this site so some of your
comments didn't surprise me, (although I would like you to be more specific
about your objections to the images, what it is exactly that you are objecting
to).
Your total negativity towards this young girl seems very uncalled for. Who are
you to say that she can't succeed ? Do you know her ? Do you know what motivates
her ?
This is a teen site where the ethos is supposed to be encouragement for new
models. The majority of young girls that sign up have no idea about the
industry. Our role should be to educate them. I rarely see any encouragement in
your posts. Yet you welcome and expect encouragement for Cheryl.

ID: 209800 Posts: 335 | Date: 2008-03-06 16:08 First, let me say this.. I have but only ONCE ever asked for an opinion on a
photo of my daughter's. And, that was only recently--It was an age appropriate
question on the photo. I would NEVER open the floor to criticism on the looks of
anyone-- that is foolish. Never a "Can I model question". If you care to
research that you will see that not all remarks were positive. If you ask for an
opinion, be certain you can handle the responses. Or DO NOT ASK. As they say "If
you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen."
In your post you said :--->
Finally you need a personality and charisma. If you have ever watched ANTM you
will see that most of the girls are beautiful, most can model and most have the
commercial look that sells, what differentiates them from one another is their
attitude.
A child can not comprehend what your saying here. I just pulled the neighbor kid
over here and asked her what she thought it meant. (She's 12 not 10) She said
that she was not sure and didn't know. So-- point proven..
As matter of fact, ANTM is in Chico right (today) now looking at girls...
Knowing the standards, we would never look foolish and apply because my daughter
does not meet the height requirements/standards. Just as the young girl above
does not meet the standares either.
As I said previously.. I didn't even know this post was here. A friend emailed
it to me this morning with concerns.
It seems that if you don't like what your hearing it is a reason to become
nasty. Don't take it personally, it's not even your child!
It is ok to disagree with other's points of view... You should know that as an
adult right? |

 ID: 170792 Posts: 681 | Date: 2008-03-07 03:31 I think the kid has some potential..altho she has afew extra kilos this shouldnt
be like is a point of no return considering she is only 10. She has a long way
to go.
I dont think the pics are suggestive in anyway either..she is just trying to
copy what she sees in Mags etc
What she needs is some direction but not harsh criticism
..Make ur statements simple, clear and have it in ur mind that u r talking with
a 10yr old |

 ID: 223398 Posts: 414 | Date: 2008-03-08 08:21 i agree with lucia, if she loses weight she might have a chance but she must
learn to face rejection. I m not saying she won t have a chance but to diana's
grandmother i think diana is a bit of am mommy s girl and needs to toughen up a
bit.
Hope it helps
