is this girl even a professional model? like wtf

[SpiritofInsanity]

@BoxxieBear Not really. If you want to be a model, the first thing to do is to find several reputable agencies in your area and visit them. They can tell you whether or not they want you. Amateur photography isn't the way to go.

THIS GIRL CAN FOLD CLOTHES. SHE'S HIRED.

@specialneedsadvocate yeah she is.

@izzybarreras For most agencies, you are going to have to be 5 foot 8 to do standard modeling. Some agencies accept heights below that, but people over 5'8 are most likely to get jobs because they can do any type of modeling.

I am 5'11". :) My agency looks for girls 5 foot 8 to 6 foot.

Hope I helped!

@LillyGBeauty How tall do you have to be to do regular modeling, and if you are a model how tall are you?

[LillyGBeauty]

@tegy100 Depends if you grow to be 5'8" when you get older.

If you don't you can look for petite agencies! Most runway is over 5'8". :) I love modeling!

@tegy100 Forget what @sweetblackstarx said about pretty isnt enough, I think that when your older you should go for it, My mum used to be a model and now she is getting me into modeling, I am 12 and 5'4 and weigh 6 stone i have blonde hair equal to my shoulders and all my friends say im gorgeous, i have already been to a couple of photoshoots, so just go for it when your ready its really fun. but hard. :') x

[sweetblackstarx]

@tegy100 sorry, but if you are under 5'7" not a chance : ( runway is usually 5'8" and higher... pretty isen't enough

@DcMithra Chances are you wont if you already had your period... women don't grow much, sometimes not at all after their period.
