Notice Something Different on the Modeling 101 Blog?

Newer readers may not notice certain changes I make to my Modeling 101 blog but I know my long-time readers will take note of a big change I made that was LONG overdue. Still don't see it? It's cool...I'll wait...

Hint: scroll down and keep an eye on the right hand side of the blog as you do so. Are you there yet? Almost? Okay.

See it now? Yes! I've added "Labels" to my blog. They pretty much categorize all my posts and make it much easier to find content that's relevant to whatever modeling topic you're curious about. You're probably wondering to yourself what the heck took me so long? Sometimes I'm a slow learner...I've seen the "Labels" option before as I've been creating my posts but ignored it because I wasn't sure what it was for.

Well, I finally looked into it and BAM, all my problems with organizing my posts were solved! Okay, so the solution is like 6 years late, LOL, but better late than never, right? I'm sure my long-time readers who've been with me since the beginning are probably screaming at their screens right now, chastising me for making them have to search through tons of posts the hard way. I'm sorry!!!

Don't worry, I've punished myself for you: I've spent the last few hours adding labels to my posts. Remember, I have 1,000+ to do! I'm a little more than halfway through though so in another day or so, all of my posts (aside from the few I felt don't need labels) will be completely organized.

I'm still experimenting with some of the labels I've chosen. I didn't want to overlap posts under too many labels and wanted to make it as easy as possible for people to navigate. So enjoy this much cleaner and straightforward way of getting access to the modeling information you've been wanting to know!

Hi Dania,

I've read about the 34-24-34 measurements and looked through the different kinds of body shape, but I couldn't find mine... I'm 31.5-24.4-29.5 (80-62-75 in cm) and my shoulders are wider than my hips. Also, my legs are skinny (except for the thighs... though there is a little space between my thighs), my arms are skinny, my stomach is quite skinny and my ribcage doesn't carry much fat. My face does, though. Also, my skin does have impurities. I have blue eyes and long brown hear and well-shaped eyebrows. My height is 5ft7" and my weight is 113 pounds. I don't know what else I could mention. Could I be a model (even though my measurements are weird and my skin on my face is a bit impure)? Thanks! xx Immastayanonymous ;) (sorry I didn't mention weight in my first comment!)

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...

Male Models & Height

(This particular post is in reference to male models seeking to do fashion and runway modeling only, not commercial/print.) So I realize that many of my posts are directed at female models because, well, there are so many of them out there! But I do acknowledge and recognize the male models out there, too, and believe me I do my best to try and squeeze in posts that relate to you guys as well. While I will say that much of the information I provide (casting calls, submitting to agencies, etc.) can be applied to male modeling as well, I don't want anyone to get confused or feel they have to sort out exactly what applies to females and what applies to males so I decided to start trying to do more posts for male models or those aspiring to be one. The height factor is not just an issue with female models but male models as well. Unfortunately, there are even less "exceptions to the rule" when it comes to male models than female models. There are definitely the Ka...

How Old is Too Old to Model?

It’s no secret that the media has made a big deal out of youth. Think about it: how many people have you heard say, “Gosh, I can’t wait to get wrinkles!” Worldwide, selling the idea of youth has made many companies billions of dollars. Without the models, however, they wouldn’t get very far. So that’s the obvious stuff but what about the question of age and being older in the modeling industry? Well, for starters, if you plan on being in the fashion and runway field, the younger you are the better. The longevity for this type of modeling is extremely short for the majority of models involved. Agencies sign girls as young as 13 years old and tend to hesitate if a model is over 18. This topic, like the height issue, is a reality of the industry that you don’t have to agree with but you will have to accept or at least get used to. It’s just a plain fact that agencies and their clients can get more work out of youthful models than those who already show the signs of aging. Sadly, this...
