Top 2 Ways To Sign With A Modeling Agency

One of the major decisions an aspiring model must make is whether to freelance or sign with a management agency. Typically, signing with an agency is the best way to go for models.

........Exposing all the SECRETS of fashion modelling.

What does it take to be a fashion model?
Female fashion models should be somewhere between 15 and 22 years old, although probably closer to fifteen. Models don't have careers that last as long as for instance, doctors, so agencies tend to invest their time in someone young. 

You should be tall, long-legged, and lean. The minimum height is usually about 5'8", and average weight for a model is 108-125 lbs. These characteristics are partly aesthetic and partly practical: this type of frame looks good on

How to Walk Like a Model

By: Jacqueline Thomas

Learning how to walk like a model may be your most challenging task when you first start your modeling career. Walking the runway requires a sense of presence and the ability to create a long, lean silhouette for the clothes to take center stage. Unlike in other areas of modeling, models who walk the runway need not be photogenic or considered commercially beautiful. A runway model's walk is her most important quality. No matter how striking a model is, if there is an absence of a strong runway walk, that model will not be able to book jobs.

Practice In High Heels
Although it comes naturally to some, finding and perfecting your trademark strut takes practice and critique. The first place to start for female models is by training your feet. Buy the highest pair of high heels you can find. Wear these shoes everywhere you

12 Secrets To Building A First Class Model Portfolio

12 Secrets To Building A First Class Model Portfolio
The Free Report

1 Commercial/print images
Before even attempting to put together a modeling portfolio, it is important to know what type of modeling you can do. Freelance models have greater flexibility in this area but should focus on a main category they will receive the most work in. If you do glamour or swim wear, then those are the types of photos you should have in your portfolio. High fashion models should have high fashion images in their books (another term for portfolio). Be realistic. If you are too short for fashion, stick to commercial/print andlifestyle images.

2 High fashion images Use magazines and other publications as reference guides for the types of images you'll want to include in your portfolio. This will help you get an idea of the type of shoot you'll need to set up.

5 Common mistakes that new clothing lines make

Hi future models. In this email I am going to tell you five common mistakes that people make when starting a clothing line. Understanding the mistakes made by others will help you to avoid them and get it right the first time.
1. Selling to no oneA common mistake when starting a clothing line is to try and appeal to everyone, however with this approach you are appealing to no one. There have been many clothing companies  who have rushed into designing and producing products without giving any thought to who they are selling their products to.

How To Make Money Online With Your Pictures

Got good photos? Want to get them published in a magazine? It might take a bit of work, a lot of patience and skin thicker than an elephant’s heel to handle the rejections but it’s possible.

There are plenty of magazines that are willing to take images submitted on spec. You’ll have to read their notes for contributors and understand what sort of shots the publication wants. And then you’ll have to choose where to send them.

Here are five of the best magazine opportunities for freelancers.

How To Burn Fat Fast

Wouldn't it be nice if you could eat whatever you wanted, blow off working out and still fit in your skinny jeans? While that's unlikely, it is possible to speed up your metabolism, that little engine in your body that burns calories. As you age, your metabolism slows down, chiefly because you lose around a half pound of muscle each year. "If you don't use the muscle, it atrophies," explains Pamela Peeke, M.D., professor of medicine at the University of Maryland and author of Fight Fat After Forty. That translates into burning about 400 fewer calories each day, which could mean gaining a pound a week. But there's plenty you can do to rev your fat-burning furnace back up again, says Peeke. Here's the skinny:

Stock up on green tea
Green tea isn't known only for its cancer-fighting benefits: It may help boost your metabolism, too. People who took green-tea extract three times a day saw their metabolic rate increase by about 4 percent, according to a study published in the December 1999 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. (Translation: You could burn an extra 60 calories a day, which equals about six pounds a year!) It may be because green tea contains catechins, which increase levels of the metabolism-speeding brain chemical norepinephrine, says Joy Bauer, a New York City nutritionist and

How Best To Use A Jeggins


With the return of super skinny jeans and leggings this past couple of years, it’s no wonder the jeggings were invented. Jeggings are basically exremely skinny jeans that look like leggings and are also worn like leggings.


We want to say that in the beginning we were not a fan of the skinny jean or the legging, but as time went on, we came to embrace both, and now, it seems like we can’t even wear any other types of jeans but skinny. The problem with these slim types of bottoms is that they’re hard to dress. And jeggings especially, can be a little tricky.


A Few Thumb Rules


First off, make sure jeggings suit your body type. If you don’t feel comfortable in them, don’t wear them – no one’s going to shun you for it!!


Second, pick a dark pair that will go with everything from a basic tank to a sweater dress. Also, black slims you
