rant time
I'm watching America's Next Top Model and it gets me thinking. It's good to see people so passionate about something but some people just take it way over the top. I mean honestly if you think about girls take pictures because they love the attention that comes with it, they love to get compliments, they love to show themselves off. So wouldnt that mean we model for attention? sure there is the people out there who do it because they are creative and love the art of a picture like photographers but how many models feel that same way? I mean artist paint pictures they love 2 do what they do and show it off just like a photographer does.
I honestly dont even know where Im going with this. I just think girls/guys shouldnt make modeling their life. Modeling is ALL about looks. It is fun to do on as a on the side hobby but people need to focus on their real life. Sure I love modeling its a fun thing 2 do, but id never get into it where Id pay some1 to do it, I mean itd be nice to get paid but thats not what I work for. Its a hobby. Ive been through all this modeling stuff before. I know more about the industry then so many girls out there who model. When I was 15 I performed in front of 200 of the biggest modeling agencies around the world. From Vogue, Ford, Teen Vogue, Elle, Glamour, etc. You name a modeling agency and they were there. I know wat the industry is about. I had friends who were 21 and 22 that got turned down so many times because they were too old. They want girls that are 16-18 in the real world. They want girls who weigh under 100lbs. I was told I had to lose a lot of weight and thats 1 of the reasons I got out of it. I was a skinny minny at 15, if i lost anymore weight I would have been disgustingly skinny. I mean I had call backs from agencies all over the world from Asia to Tokyo To New York. Shit is rough out there. You are not gonna be pretty forever. I see runnway shows in new york and la and they have disgustingly skinny models, models that i dont even think are pretty but are weird looking. I just think these girls need to get a grip. Concentrate on going to school, working hard, getting a job because there is no models out there who can live off of the industry. Be passionate, do what you love to do, but dont make it your life. SO many people are out there to fuck you over. I was an agency represented model for years. People want your money, do your research and dont fall for fake angencies. People will see your so obsessed with modeling that they will go after you because they know you will do what need to to reach your dreams and someone so passionate about modeling is going to be easy to trick.
i guess just watching this show makes me think some girls are great at modeling/dancing and shit but when it all ends and you cant find a job what are you gonna do?
ahh who knows. im entitled to my own opinion dont mean to offend anyone just felt like ranting a bit :)
