Question

http://www.yournobody.com/2008/08/10/you-have-an-old-mans-balls-on-your-chest/

If she can model... i really think anyone can...

what are some of the qualifications you think are required to model?

Answer 1

It depends...

Runway Model: Needs to be very skinny( size 2 and lower...lower being better), tall( no shorter than 5'8"..but talller is better) has good bone structure and  very able to walk in heels without having to look down EVER. Needs to be dressed and ready in a moments notice.

Magazine model: This can be a just up and coming model, someone who maybe isn't a size two( but still relatively thin) or isn't that young anymore( Like maybe modeling for Sears or Coldwater Creek or something like that). But it can also have the smae requirements as a runway model if you are trying to model for more upscale magazines( such as Cosmopolitan, Harpers Bazaar, etc).

Plus size model: Basically you can be bigger( which is usually normal for most people) but you need to be proportioned correctly( I.E you can't have a tummy that overlaps your b***s etc and you do need a pretty face).

All or going to be tough for you emotionally and physcally..because dieting will be a good part of your job, and people will be turning you down left and right and calling you fat or saying your b***s are too small, too big..etc.

But, if its what you want to do, then I'd say go out and do it. Just keep your head up and hold on to your self esteem.

Answer 2

She's probably not the same kind of model you want to be.  There are different types and they all have their own special requirements.  For mainstream runway stuff, you would have to be at least 5'8" and some places require 5'10" and you're supposed to be insanely skinny.  The only thing you can really do is try.  I will say that you don't need any classes on the subject no matter what anyone tells you.  AND the agency will pay for your pictures to fill your portfolio.  You don't pay.  Please don't forget that.  Scammers are everywhere.  I was scammed into attending Barbizon, which was an investment of several thousand dollars and they promised I would be working six months into my classes.  I never worked and they didn't even take any pictures of me until after my graduation.  And the model search I went to was a bust because after it was over, they called the people they supposedly didn't choose and invited them to class with everybody else.  I got really excited that they picked me- but they picked everybody.  Just visit agencies and see what they tell you.  I know it's more work than it looks like.  Don't ever do something you're not comfortable with- like nudity or whatever.  Those things can come back later in your career.  You do have to really want it and be able to take a ton of criticism because they will surely give it to you.

I doubt she's a model, a real model anyway.

To be a model, you need an agency to promote you.

You need to be at least 5'8 and slim.

You need to have a good run way walk if runways what you're going for.

Or you could be a catalog model which I'm not familiar with but the qualifications aren't as...intense.
