Answering a Reader Question #148

Candace J Wrote:


I want to apply to be a Jet beauty of the week sometime this year. What is a good exercise regimen for a 2 piece body? And what is a good place to get a unique swim suit for this? 

Hi, Candace and thanks for the questions. Below is a link to a great exercise regimen for getting a bikini-ready body, which comes from Fitness Magazine's website (they definitely know what they're talking about!). It involves the use of Pilates, which is a very effective approach for toning up, slimming down and burning fat. Additionally, it only takes about 20 minutes for performing each set of exercises so it isn't time consuming:

Pilates for a Beach-Ready Body

As for where to get your swimsuit, I personally only buy my swimsuits from Victoria's Secret. They have many styles to choose from and if you are familiar with their stuff, you'll easily be able to spot which styles are the ones everyone wears and which ones are more unique. I got their most recent swimwear catalog in the mail and they have a ton of new designs and a lot of them are on sale, too. So definitely check out the VS website and see if there are any designs/styles there that you like.

Good luck!!!

Hi Ms. Dania!
I was wondering if you had a post about what steps one should make to become a model. Such as how to get a portfolio together for open casting.

Thanks!

Modeling and Weight

One of the first things I hear potential models ask is what the weight requirement for modeling is. Sometimes that is the main issue they worry about when it comes to pursuing modeling. Let me tell you right now that weight should NOT be one of those concerns. Obviously, the height requirement reigns supreme when measuring up to the modeling standards sought out by agencies. If you meet the height requirements--whether it's for fashion and runway or commercial/print--that is the first step towards starting on the path to modeling. How much you weigh shouldn't be your biggest fear. It is rare that anyone can look at someone and say, "Oh, my gosh, he/she looks like they are 5 pounds over our weight requirement!" It just isn't realistic. If you look at many modeling agency websites, they clearly list the age and height requirements--rarely, if at all do they list any weight restrictions. The general rule of thumb when it comes to weight is that for models who ...

Modeling & Pay Rates: How Much Should You Charge?

(This post is more targeted towards freelance models and not those with agency representation, although it may apply to those that have an agent but continue to find their own work.) A part of being a successful model is making money from the jobs that you book. However, being a freelance model comes with many challenges--figuring out what you should charge is one of them. I will say upfront that there are no established black and white rules when it comes to pay rates. Each modeling job is different, each client is different and budgets vary. Ultimately the factors that should influence what you charge should be the amount of experience you have, the strength of the images in your portfolio and the client's budget/needs. Not every client is going to pay what you want to charge. There may be times when you will be skipped over for charging too much or taken advantage of for charging too little. It's going to happen so be prepared for it and do not take it personally. It...

What Are Male Models Supposed to Look Like?

The modeling world is filled with women. That's never been a secret and sadly, that often means male models fall by the wayside. There are successful male models in all categories across the industry but the fact that the modeling business revolves around women can make it challenging for newbies to figure out how to pursue their goals of male modeling. It is important to know that because there are different types of modeling categories out there, that means there are also different types of male models. They aren't all supposed to look alike and what ends up being in demand does change every year. Let's break down the common attributes that come with male modeling in various popular categories, shall we? THE MALE FASHION/RUNWAY/EDITORIAL MODEL These are the typical types of models most of us tend to think of when it comes to men in modeling.
