I think they concentrate on other qualities of a model.sherlly butshy |

 ID: 245208 Posts: 108 | Date: 2009-01-11 02:37 .It seems to me that modeling agencies would want what the audience thinks is
beautiful and sexy. Doesn't that play a major roll in advertisement when it
comes to fashion. It used to be that every one thought that A tall and skinny
Woman was the beautiful and sexy women out there However, times have changed the
majority of men that I see out there are finding the Asians and other cultures
out there that are short and petite then the tall skinny girls. So I am left
wondering why agencies are not having more openings for the petite women that
have hopes of being a model.
I am not saying that I don't think tall skinny girls aren't beautiful or sexy. I
just prefer my girls to be petite and at least 4 inches shorter then me but I
will take whatever life has in store for me.Dante' A V |

 ID: 271228 Posts: 26 | Date: 2009-01-13 13:14 I collected the following from two websites I would highly recommend all models
to read. Then take about half of the info each site and throw it out, everyone
and everywhere has it a little different, plus it is the internet....
So you wanna be a model? and How to model
I didn't grab any info, but my favorite site for models: Modeling 101
Commercial modeling has no age, height, weight, or size restrictions; all types
of people are needed. Also, commercial modeling work is virtually everywhere,
even in small cities.
What it takes to be a fashion-model
If you're female . . .
You should be somewhere between 15 and 22 years old, though probably closer to
fifteen. Models don't have careers that last as long as say, doctors, so
agencies tend to want to invest their time in someone young.
You should be tall, long-legged, and lean. The minimum height is usually about
5'8", and average weight for a model is 108-125 lbs. These characteristics are
partly aesthetic and partly practical: this type of frame looks good on the
runway and in front of the camera (which, they say, adds 15 pounds); and a
somewhat scrawny build drapes clothing nicely and ensures a good fit in the
standard wardrobe. There are always exceptions to the rule, of course - Kate
Moss is 5'7" and Gabrielle Reece is a giant 6'3" - but, in general, the closer
you are to the industry norm, the better your chances.
If you're male . . .
You can start out a little later, roughly between the ages of 18 and 25. They
won't want you to look too childish. The good news is that a man's modeling
career usually lasts longer than a woman's, and since ten-year-old boys more
often dream of blowing things up rather than strutting the Hugo Boss runway,
this side of the biz tends to be less competitive as well.
Average dimensions for a male model are a height of 5'11"- 6'2" and a weight of
140-165 lbs. You should also be fit (not bulging with muscles, but definitely
healthy).
All right, so let's assume you've got all of these qualifications. You are, for
example, a willowy 16-year-old girl who's on the basketball team, could squeeze
her body through a set of prison bars, and causes old men who shouldn't be
ogling you to stumble over their walkers. That's great. On top of that you have
clear skin, perfect teeth, and your own brand of je ne sais quoi. Fantastic.
It's time for the next step. |

Johnathen will likely reply also, but in a nutshell...
5'8' is considered the minimm for fashion, or editorial work, as well as runway.
"Commercial" implies selling a product or lifestyle. So, an elderly couple could
be hired to help sell retirement living, hearing aids, joint ache medicine. An
older, slightly overweight guy like me could be hired to help sell Rogain, or a
gym membership, despite the fact that I am not exactly prime model material. A
person in a wheelchair could be hired for an add promoting equal opportunity
employment. Those are all examples of commercial work.
Hope this helps.Why do we struggle to paddle upstream while the river is taking us where we need to go? |

the difference is around 1 inch or so.Part of jurgita.com administration team. |

Hello world!
It's my first post here 
Look at me I am not so tall and I am almoust 30 but i made a lot of video
commercials in Romania and also 2 photo commercials so i suggest the "little"
women to try a carrer in advertising. There u can be fat, slim, white, black,
young, old, ugly but u have a lot more chances I am the proof...But
with world crises who make commercials?  So girls try at the casting agencies.
Good luck!
ooh. now i gained confidence.. thanks!! I'm 15.. and sooo short |
