Hello there, I have 2 questions: 1. How successful have people been by using the Directory associated with this web site, with sending their comp cards via email?... 2. Do agencies prefer one method of submission versus another? I do recall you saying how mail can get shuffled around and possibly tossed. If answers to these questions or comments regarding these questions are listed somewhere on the web site, forgive me for asking. Thanks

Hi Cristina this is Katherine and I have a question regarding dress size. how do I figure out my dress size is it based on my height and measurements I'm confused. well my height is 5'4'' and my measurements are 32D, 29Waist, 37hips but these measurements are recent because unfortunately I've gained weight my measurements before the weight were: 5'4'', 32b/c, 25, and 35 but those measurements were from I was a freshmen in high school when I was 15 and now I'm 21 should I try to achieve those measurements again or just lose may be 10lbs which do you think agencies will prefer because i'm afraid if i lose too much weight my face will look old because lack of fat so what do you suggest?

Hi Christina! I am interested in becoming a runway/high fashion model, but im having issues with my weight right now. i am 5"10.5 and 34-25-34 and 130lbs. I know that in the high fashion industry the weight requirements are really strict and that they look for girls who weigh somewhere around 120lbs. My weight problem really isnt so much as having excess "flab" as it is being a little too muscular. I know that muscle weighs more than fat so i was wondering if you knew any excercises that woould help me get slimmer instead of bulking me up. thanks :)

I just had a photo shoot done last week to help build on my portfolio. when i showed my mother the pictures and she was very upset. some of my photos were in lingerie and all she kept saying is "how can i let someone i never met before take half naked pics of me?" she says that she is okay with me wanting to be a print model, but she doesnt understand that most models dont even know their photographers and its just a part of the job. i reassure her constantly that i would never do nude photos but i feel like she doesnt believe me because ive done lingerie. how can i help her to understand what it is that models do????
