Did You Know...? #9

...Gisele Bundchen does her own eye makeup for shoots? Because her eyes are sensitive and she doesn't feel comfortable with a makeup artist being that close to her eyes, she applies her own liner and mascara.

I have really sensitive eyes as well. Do you think as a newer model and not Gisele status that would be a problem for makeup artist and designers?

Hi Dania, you have a great body. So I want to know what do you do to stay so in shape. What type of exercises do you do and for how long to you perform the exercise. Also what is your diet like how healthy do you eat.

Hi,
Just found your blog and I love how you not only update it frequently but also provide pertinent information. I did a short stint as a model when I was younger, and at 20 yrs old I'm thinking of giving it another go. The only thing is, I'm not sure how to go about it or what type of work I would do. I have a very unique look and can't go anywhere without getting noticed, but I'm rather short at 5"4'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

As a petite, mixed, exotic looking 20 year old, what would be the best way for me to get into the modeling world and what would be the best niche or type or modeling for me?
Thanks

Hi Dania, I have a question about body type. According to most of the research that I have done I'm pear shaped. My measurements are 32,25,35. Whenever I gain weight I mainly have to buy bigger pants to accommodate my thighs. But I feel my shape is weird because I have big thighs and a medium butt. It is as if my butt and my thighs are not completely equal. I'm actually very self conscious of this because I don't have classically wide hips either yes they're 35inches but they're not a wide 35inches if that makes sense. It's embarrassing because I'm black and I feel if I'm going to be pear shaped then I should be pear shaped all the way with big thighs and a big butt. I'm not sure how agencies will feel about how proportioned I am but I'm self conscious about it. I have a medium size bust I wish I could take fat from my boobs and stick them in my butt because at least everything on my lower body would be proportioned. Yes I exercise regularly and put emphasize on my butt. Please help I just feel my body never finished puberty because of my semi narrow hips, big thighs and medium butt. I'm 24 but my body never caught up with my age. I feel without my boobs I would look like a boy and this makes me very sad :(. From the girl who's body never grew up :(.

Hi. Great blog. Congrats. I am an aspiring model from India. I am 22. Yes, it sounds old but in India, people usually begin modelling around this age as parents are very particular about college education. So,I am 22, 5'5 and weigh around 50 kgs, have a slim button nose, high cheekbones, defined jawline, beautiful eyes and lips. I know that maybe I won't be doing runway projects and honestly, they don't interest me either. My measurements are 34-26-34 so i guess that I am more suited for commercial modelling and I,personally, prefer that, too. Good for me! Well, the thing is that I come from a very conservative family and my own views about clothing are not very dissimilar. I prefer to keep it modest. I want to know that given my reservations, is it still possible for me to become a model? Or should I just drop this idea altogether?

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...

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...
