How to become a model"One of the best things I've ever done."
How I did it: I made a profile on www.onemodelplace.com and www.modelmayhem.com (mayhem is way better) and added some photos I had taken of myself to start with. I contacted local photographers from there to ask them if they would like to shot with me. My first shoot was with HungryEye www.hungryeye.com and then I got to work with a few others. A year later I have a pretty dcent looking portfolio forming. Unfortunately I am oo short for fashion and runway, but there is always glamour and petite modeling for girls like me. Lessons & tips: You have to put some effort into it, do your research and treat each meeting/shoot like its a job. Be on time, try to make a good impression, take criticism well, and always bring a friend along when meeting someone for the first time. Resources: www.modelmayhem.com

Hello, I am Anastaisia. I am only 17 years old and a senior in high school. People look at me and seriously ask “what are you a model” so many times I would like to say yes I am. I am always worried about how short I am I stand at 5’4. People always tell me how beautiful I am and how I have such a beautiful smile. I have many talents. I can cook, draw, sing, and write poetry. I am one of the most talented people in my house let along this city. I am looking forward to starting a career in modeling. I plan on leaving my house as soon as I am 18. I need to make good money so I can get myself a condo. This has been my dream for a while. Make my dream come true!
so last night I did a little something to help me along my way. I signed up to modelmayhem.com I havn’t been accepted yet but I should be in a day or two so if you’re interested in having a look my site is www.modelmayhem.com/lallypop666 I have a few photos up that my friends took of me in photography lessons.
This morning I am looking into more online ways of publicising myself as a model
fingers crossed :)

When I was a baby my mum signed me up for modelling but either it was a scam, or I just never got any work because she never really heard from them. Ever since then, my whole life people have been telling me, you should be a model! And I have always thought “If only I could..” Well what the hell I’m guna go for it.
There are several things I need to do before I put myself out there, and I have made a sort of a Sub-list to my list of goals:
1. Get into shape: I’m relatively thin but I need to tone. Especially my upper legs, bum and tum :)
2. Grow my hair: It’s not a must but I cut all my hair off and now I want it back so I can have more confidence.
3. Get taller: Somehow… I dunno how. Praying? I’m only 5.4/5.4 and a half on a good day, but this is something I’ve always wanted to do so I need to just get over the height thing and hope that I can make this work despite this.
4. Grow my nails: I can’t stop biting them but I need to desperately.
5. Take care of myself :)
people say i cant be a modle cuz im ova the waight liment and that pisses me off cuz i can modle and i have a beatiful smile

See, unlike most of you i’m not doing this because i’m beautiful i’m doing this because i’m ugly, well normal at least. I want more self confidence and i want to get some money for college, start modeling for little projects perhaps, i just want to feel beautiful. And prof that i am strong and i can do this, i’m only 13 but i need to start some where, it might take years i don’t care. I need to do this for me.
5ft4” is definately not tall enough. I’m a UK6/8 (USA2/4) so I think I’d be okay in that respect but it seems as if my height is always going to be a problem. I’ve tried in the past but obviously, they don’t want someone like me. The rejection is upsetting but you just get over it and move on because you have to.
I want to be a French teacher when I’m older but if I could have any job, it would be this. Without a doubt. Biggest dream :)
If anyone wants tips on how to get into modeling you can email me :) janieluv08@yahoo.com. I had to lose a lot of weight but now I am finally modeling and I LOVE it :) I get to do a Elite shoot in Belize City, Belize in the spring! Yay!!
some people away say i can’t be a model put u know what my mom all ways say to me do not listen what people say u can be what u want too be so i fine to tried it her Im am right here waiting to be a model.

stareyedpanda asks,
“If I feel scared about being part of a bikini contest held at a pub should I still do it? Also if my agent has not finished my portfolio or has not given me any work in a month is that a sign she is a bad agent?”
