The New "Answering a Reader Question" Series...Video Reply Version!!!


Yep, you read right. While I will still be doing my regular "Answering a Reader Question" series, where I simply address a reader's question and provide answers in its own blog post, I've decided to do something fun and more interactive with it. 

Since so many people lately have been posting questions about everything related to modeling, I'm now going to offer my readers the opportunity to have their answers provided by me in a video reply, which I'll accomplish using my web cam. 

I'll be able to upload my video answer here on Modeling - 101 and also plan on uploading it to my YouTube Channel, where I'm hoping to get more views and build a following on that site as well. So here are the instructions for how to request both a traditional reply and a video reply (read carefully...remember, good models follow directions!):

To Request a Regular Reply (The Traditional "Answering a Reader Question"):
  1. Click on the "Comment" link at the bottom of any blog post.
  2. Write your question(s) in the comment box provided.
  3. I'll receive an email alert and will reply back (in the form of a comment) to the same blog post where your question was originally posted in order to let you know what # your post is in the Answering a Reader Question series.
  4. Check my blog for your specific post and you'll have your answer!
To Request a Video Reply:
  1. Click on the "Comment" link at the bottom of any blog post.
  2. Write your question(s) in the comment box provided.
  3. Before submitting your question/comment, MAKE SURE TO STATE THAT YOU WANT YOUR ANSWER TO BE A VIDEO REPLY!!!
  4. I'll receive an email alert and will reply back (in the form of a comment) to the same blog post where your question was originally posted in order to let you know what # your post is in the Answering a Reader Question series.
  5. Check my blog for your specific post and you'll have your answer!
If you don't state that you want your answer to be in a video reply, then I'll simply answer it as part of the traditional series. For the video reply questions, I'll start them at #1 and so on, instead of continuing the numbers with the original series. This will prevent any confusion. Depending on my schedule and when I'm able to set the web cam up, it may take a day or so for me to do the video replies, compared to the regular series, which I can do within a few minutes so bear with me as I add this new project into my life.

I hope you guys enjoy this new spin and I look forward to answering your questions so that you can hear the info straight from the source!!!

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...

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...

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...
