Latest Casting: Need Facebook "Likes"

Hello, my beloved Modeling 101 readers! I would like to take some time to ask for your assistance with a casting I'm being considered for. Please note it is not a model search or contest--it's a basic casting for the Shore Side Jewelry Co., which is based out of Michigan and specializes in beautiful handmade jewelry made of beach glass and other precious metals. They are looking for 3 models for their latest product shoot. After submitting my pictures and information, they replied back to say they loved my look. Shore Side Jewelry Co. is looking for models that not only have a great look and experience, but who are also into self promotion and have a supportive following.

They have taken the picture I submitted, which is the photo associated with this post, and added it to their Facebook company page in its own album, which consists of the photos of the models they are considering so far. To see how good we are at self promotion, they have asked us to spread the word and get people to not just "Like" their company page but "Like" our photo as well. That is where you, my dear readers, come in!

If you have a Facebook profile and would like to help me show Shore Side Jewelry Co. that I should be one of the 3 chosen models, please follow these 2 easy steps:

1) "Like" the Shore Side Jewelry Co.'s Facebook Page:

https://www.facebook.com/ShoreSideJeweryCo

(You must "Like" their page in order to "Like" my photo)

2) "Like" my photo, which is in the album titled "Casting Call Nov 5th." Again, my photo is the same one that is in this post...because of the green background it should be pretty easy to find:

Just one "Like" is all it takes. While this portion of the casting is not mandatory, it does put a good foot forward to show that I am serious about this opportunity. Thank you in advance to those that participate in an effort to support me--I appreciate you and will definitely keep you posted if I end up making the cut! Fingers crossed!!!

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...

Want to Be a Victoria's Secret Model?

(*Due to the number of comments and questions I get from aspiring models about working for VS, please be sure to read my post on this very carefully. If you don't meet all of these requirements then you cannot become a model for VS. If you are not tall enough, if you are not signed to a top agency, your chances are not good. If you don't meet the requirements, please don't be too upset about it. Find another field of modeling you may be good for. There are plenty of other modeling opportunities for models outside of being a VS angel. They may not be as good or as well-known as VS but it's better than nothing.) I know I’d jump at the chance to be offered a gig modeling for Victoria’s Secret (although I think they’d be irritated by Photoshopping my stretch marks HAHA, yeah, I said it, I’ve got stretch marks!). All silliness aside, the gals of Victoria’s Secret are probably the inspiration for a majority of aspiring models out there. Not only do they get to wear the s...
