    Have you done any research yourself to find out what it takes to be a model? This is a very competitive field. You will need family support and a lot of determination.
    'Modeling places' are the agencies that most people go to when looking for models.
    Most agencies will expect you to have headshots and a biography and/or resume to be presented for review before they will even talk to you. Agencies are always 'hiring' new people for different assignments. You will need to do some homework on your own to find out what photographers are in your area for your headshots and what agencies will accept your application. Be careful though there are a lot of 'photographers' and 'modeling consultants' that will take advantage of you and not provide you with anything.

    This is not an answer but I read your question and noticed the photo. I lived about a block from K.C. and was walking past their home when the police arrived. Will never forget that day. Good luck with modeling. Try a Google search for modeling careers. Good luck.

    If you did decide that you wanted to model you would need to be hooked up with a modeling agent. This is where it can get dicey. There are a lot of people out there who say they are modeling agents or can further your careers but they are really scam artists or looking to take advantage of young girls.

    Do some research on what the typical scams are and what are some reputable agencies in your area. Start there and see where you can go from there. Good luck hun!

    Kelly, the best way to be successful as a model is become educated about the industry. The modeling and acting industry needs trained people. Models who now how to pose, promote themselves and to successfully deal with all types of personalities. The biggest mistake people think is becoming a model requires no know how of anything. My recommendations is to invest in a modeling consultant in your area and learn about the business. There is no free lunch. Getting involved in the modeling industry costs money, just like any other industry.

    Lets get this straight... YOU CAN BECOME A MODEL!!

    There is a common misconception about the modeling business...

    The misconception being... "You must be super skinny, super tall and super sexy to become a model".

    THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE!!
    And it is especially not true, Right Now!!
    If you look at hundreds of different TV commercials, magazine ads, billboards... you will see that every different look is being used in advertising.

    The truth is, that advertisers need to target every different group of people in our society! And you are a part of our vast society as well!
    There are people that like the same things as you and that think, dress and look similar to you too! These are who you will market the best to!
    And especially now a days the variety in models is huge... There is a huge demand for normal average looking people.

    And of course there is always work for people who are naturally... sexy.
    Sexy is not so much a look, as it is a personality!

    Becoming a model is really easier than you think.
    You just need to understand how the modeling business works.
    If a girl is shorter than 5'9 that's OK! There is still a place for her! There are female models under 5'9 that get booked all the time! And of course, a girl that is over 5'9 can do great as well!

    The same applies for male models! Once you understand how the modeling business actually works, you will know what markets and agencies to place yourself with.
    There are unlimited opportunities available to every different type of look, age, race, height and weight!

    If that's true then why isn't everyone a model?
    Well, lets go outside of your normal mode of thinking. Think outside the box.
    Think about the models, actors and other celebrities you look up to and aspire to be like.
    Why do you think these people are role models to you and many others?
    What do they all have in common?

    What all successful people have in common is that they are all Extremely Confident. They are all Extremely Charismatic. And none of them are afraid to be themselves.
    They are everything that everyone in society wants to be. And that is why they are successful!
    And that is what you need to focus on first, in order for you to become successful as well.

    This is what makes a star.
    All of the money, fame and the success are the results of these personality traits. These traits are shared by all of the greatest people in history.
    And you can have these traits as well!
    When a person has all of these traits they become... Unstoppable!
    Their personal energy becomes so attractive that everyone becomes magnetized to them. They become "Irresistibly Attractive".
    They have the personality traits that every human desires. Every human has the desire to let go, be themselves and feel 100% Confident... And we are attracted to those who demonstrate this.
    By being in their presence or seeing them in magazines or on TV, we get to feel what hey are feeling. We get to feel their confidence, joy and fearlessness.

    We literally feed off their energy.
    We will listen to a song over and over again, simply because of how it makes us feel. And we will look at a magazine ad over and over and over again, for the same reason. We get energized.
    What you are really doing is connecting with the model in the picture or the artist singing the song. You are getting to feel how they feel.

    It is all about how music, pictures and so on, make us feel.
    And that is exactly what modeling is about.
    To be a model, YOU need to be the one with the pure confidence and fearlessness.
    YOU need to have more confidence than the agents and clients you meet. They need to want YOU, because of how YOU make them feel.

    If your energy does not make them feel better than they already feel, then why would they want you? You would be making them feel worse than they feel already. You would be an energy drainer instead of an energizer.
    Think about people you know, that you just can't stand to be around. Why do you think that is? It is because of how they make you feel. They do not make you feel good. They "drain" your energy.

    We all want to be surrounded by people that lift us up. That energize us!
    And that is the secret to you becoming a model.
    When you can energize everyone you meet, you are on the quick and easy path to becoming famous world wide!

    That is why 99% of aspiring models don't make it... The Mental aspect kills them!

    But, it doesn't have to be this way for you. Very few people know what you have just learnt about energy. A person that is educated about these things can live a life of pure adventure. Nothing is impossible to them.

    It is the secret to everything.
