A while back I posted my concerns about how many reader questions I was receiving. While I want to continue helping individuals with questions, I'm seeing that the sheer number that pop up everyday is starting to overwhelm the actual posts about modeling that my blog has come to be known for.
Because I want to keep my readers happy by creating new posts about the modeling industry as well as answering their questions, I've decided to create an entirely separate Modeling 101 blog for the sole purpose of answering reader questions. Right now I don't think there's a tool that allows me to move my existing Answering a Reader Question series over to the new blog so for now those will remain here.
However, from this point on, the reader questions I receive here will be automatically redirected to the new blog site. Here are some FAQs to help my readers understand the transition:
Q: Where do I post my questions?
A: You can still leave your reader questions as comments on any of my Modeling 101 - A Model's Diary blog posts. That part won't change at all.
Q: How will I find your answer to my questions?
A: I will reply to your reader question in the form of a comment on the blog post where you posted your original question--that part won't change, either. BUT instead of my standard reply, my updated reply will provide you with the new Modeling 101 blog URL where you'll be able to find my post directly related to the question you've asked.
Q: Are you going to start all over with the numbering for the Answering a Reader Question Series?
A: No. I think that would only confuse readers. Instead I'll be picking up right where the numbering left off on here, which is currently in the high 300s.
Q: Can I post questions on your Reader Question blog instead of your original Modeling 101 blog?
A: Yes! You can comment on any of the blog posts on the new Reader Question blog and I'll reply back.

Since print models don't normally show a lot of skin, I think the lipoma on your thigh could be "disguised" by your clothing. If you were to have it removed, the scar and resulting hole shouldn't be too much of a hindrance, as long as you avoid print work that involves swimwear or anything that would showcase that part of your thigh. Simply let your agent know about the issue and they'll know which types of work they can and can't submit you to.
As far as the sunken in area on your butt, have you tried padded jeans or having special padding added to "fake it"?
I can't really speak on the issue you're having with your chest and the use of the pill because I'm not a physician/doctor and truly don't know what the cause or solution could be for that problem.
To me, it seems that you aren't 100% comfortable with your body and if that's true, then you shouldn't pursue modeling and/or agency representation until you can investigate your options for the issues you're dealing with and see what results you can get. While it is possible to "fake it" and see what happens, your concerns appear to go deeper than that and could negatively affect your performance as a model, which isn't a good thing.
Agencies aren't going anywhere so the good thing is that there's no deadline for breaking into print/lifestyle modeling, especially since age isn't a huge factor for that part of the industry. So you can give yourself as much time as needed to try and work on those issues and see what happens.
