Answer 1

yes you have potential but you need to know that you should never pay any amount of money upfront. anyone asking for money is trying to rip you off try going to this website and submitting some photos onemodelplace.com and some photographers should contact you via email

Answer 2

um well i guess you would fit into catalog modeling, like for Carson or Sear's, but I don't know if ur EXACTLY what they're looking for

Answer 3

Forget it.  You're too short for high fashion, and you don't have the catalogue look.

Go cultivate actual skills and be a stunning lawyer.

Answer 4

you are cute, but no "model" cute.   I'm not a professional but looking at mag adverts and tv commercials, I see that you don't have what they want.  Although, I guess they could make you up to look like that but why put the effort when they'd rather not.

Answer 5

Look for a modeling studio in your town, go talk to them. avoid Powers and Barbizon.

Answer 6

Of course you have potential. If tyou set your mind to doing something it can be accomplished.  Catalogs? Look at them, not everyone in them is six feet tall. There are opportunities for everyone. Go for it!

Answer 7

there are many types of models, not only run way. Usually most people today would prefer going for the run way but based on what most models look like today they want them to be really tall. You have a really pretty face, you should try lip modeling..like for lipstick advertisements or for eye shadow or something like that.
