The Latest on Dania Denise Summer 2011

Hello, my beloved blog readers! Recently you've probably been wondering if Modeling 101 - A Model's Diary has completely turned into a Q&A session, LOL. But the reality is that lately I've been absolutely swamped with reader questions, as well as personal emails from model hopefuls.

While I will definitely get around to answering the latest entries in my "Answering a Reader Question" series, I do have many more blog posts related to various modeling topics for you to absorb. However, my schedule as of late has been super hectic, which is why I've really only had the time to do Q&A posts.

Let's see, I've been doing product shoots for company brochures, did a shoot for an online catalog for a fabulous boutique and in a few hours I've got a fashion show. Ah, speaking of fashion shows, the Fall bridal show season is also around the corner and this weekend I'll be helping the modeling coordinator with casting new faces. Man, when it rains, it pours!

Also did some quirky, out of the box interview snippets for one of my clients, which he'll be posting on his company's Twitter, blog and Facebook accounts so I'll be sure to share that with you guys soon as he posts it (I talk about not only what I love about modeling but how I believe in ghosts, pretending to be a zombie, making an "ugly" face and a bunch of other ridiculousness that I promise will make more sense when you see the actual footage...or not, haha).

Oh, and I've been getting more comfortable with using my web cam and will soon be introducing a new spin to the "Answering a Reader Question" series, which will involve still answering your questions but as a VIDEO REPLY, which will not only be posted here on my blog but on through my YouTube Channel as well (if you subscribe to YouTube channels, add mine to your list...just search for Dania Denise and it should pop up)! More details to come--I'm really excited about it and I hope that you will be, too!

My other home-based businesses have also been keeping me ripping and running so please be patient with me, I've got plenty more kernels of knowledge to share with you guys about the industry so stay tuned and I hope everyone is making the most of the summer--I know I am!!!

Heyy :)
I live in Bali, Indonesia. You probably have no idea where that is, but i just want to ask you what it takes to be a model. There's quite a few model oppurtunities here but im not sure how the modelling industry really works. What do you have to do? But I really want to be a model, and i think i could have a great chance since im only 13 and im 171cm.
Your site is really helpful and im so glad i found itt. haha. :)
thankyouuuu. x

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...

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 ...
