The model must-have check list: what's in the model's bag?

The model must-have check list: what's in the model's bag? Hey Girls, While at my shoot last week for a healthcare catalog where I modeled shoes, I was reminded of the importance of having a nice handbag. When you have a modeling job you will be told what it’s for, what to bring and the basics of the job, but it is always smart to bring some extras. Carrying this handbag all the time will also make your arms tone, so there is a plus to the hustle and bustle involved with being a striving model. My top ten things to have for castings and modeling jobs. The model necessities, which include and are not limited to: 1. A BIG bag. One that she doesn't mind spilling nail polish remover on or anything. A nice sturdy bag that she can count on for a last minute casting or a booking that also fits her portfolio which is usually 12.5” by 9.5” 2. Nude colored panty hose. (These are good to have for castings involving shoes and legs, you don’t want to sock marks on your a...

Here are some Modeling Industry Websites that we  DO  recommend, as well as some Modeling Industry Websites that we do  NOT  recommend. Yes, we know we are going to piss some people off by putting them on blast, but there are WAY too many modeling scams out there, and we want to shed light on both the legitimate and the shady. #SorryNotSorry In addition to modeling industry websites, we have also included websites for the Entertainment Industry as a whole, as we realize many aspiring / working models also wish to delve into Acting, Hosting, Singing, and Dancing. Entertainment Industry Websites that are legit (we DO recommend): CastingNetworks.com  – Legitimate casting website featuring Casting Calls for television (scripted, non-scripted, and reality TV), movies, background actors, photoshoots, music videos, hosting gigs, infomercials, and more.

types of modeling.

Read this information carefully . Very few people can do ALL of these types of modeling. Many categories have very specific physical or skill requirements.  Be realistic when setting your goals . If a modeling agency is asking for 5’10” models, don’t think that you will get signed at 5’5″. It’s not going to happen. Play to your strengths, and you will have a better chance at succeeding! Fashion Fashion modeling is done to promote clothing or accessories. Fashion models are generally 5’10″ or taller in major markets  (Smaller markets often begin Fashion at 5’8″ and taller)  and very thin with looks ranging from beautiful to unusual and distinctive. Fashion modeling is usually considered the most exclusive and difficult to succeed in. Most fashion models must be tall, thin and young. Do you have what it takes to be in high fashion? Runway : Occurs during a fashion show when a model walks a runway or elevated catwalk, to showcase clothing and accessories to pot...

. What are the things you should pay attention to when signing a modeling contract?

1. What are the things you should pay attention to when signing a modeling contract? This  is a tough one to answer briefly. First, a model should have an experienced attorney look over any modeling contract before signing it, but if you don’t have the money for one or can’t find one experienced in reviewing this type of contract, here are some pointers. There are primarily three types of modeling contracts out there. With an exclusive contract, the agency is your exclusive manager and booking agency and you will not be allowed to sign with any other agency for the length of the contract. Therefore, as discussed below, make sure you are signing with a reputable agency that can advance your career and not an agency that will simply tie you up. A non-exclusive contract allows you to find work on your own without the requirement that you pay the agency a commission. You may also sign other non-exclusive contracts with other agencies. If the agency you are meeting with does not hav...
