Could I ever be a model?
everyone is always telling me that I look like a model or I could be a model. I mean I do like to have pics taken of me, but I don't usually make an effort daily to look modelish plus I live in Minnesota. I'm 6', 135lbs, wear size 9 jeans and 34A, do you think I could do it.

Yes.
Looking at your 360 profile i would say you most definately could you have the figure and the face...good cheekbones (sounds silly but it's important). Now find yourself a photographer and get some good pics made (can't help you there my dear it's a bit of a drive). Several Black and whites and a few color...wearing simple clothes mainly dresses but add a few shots of you wearing elegant items and try to wear different hairstyles in the pics as well.
Just copy poses you see in vogue. No nudes in your portfolio and make some shots casual. Swimsuit shots are okay. If you want me to critique a few shots i'd be honored but get the opinions of people who know and don't know you.
I wish you all the best because i know it's not an easy job (i've dated a few models) but if you want to get a chance to travel go for it. The hours aren't the best believe me. You have to really want it.

I think anyone can model, it just depends on what your aim is. I doubt that being a size nine you could be a runway model. (I am not knocking being a size nine, its not big at all. It is just that Cindy Crawford was considered plus size at a size 8.) But there are many other things. Like a leg model, hair, or face. I am sure with your confidence you can do it. Just send out some pictures, I heard they dont even need to be professionally taken. Try Wilimina (dont know proper spelling) or Ford. Good luck

You are a very healthy weight, but unfortunately most fashion models need to be STICK skinny, ie size 0-4 max- and plus models size 12 plus. In any case, most reputable modeling agencies (just do a little research) have FREE open calls where they take poloraids and occassionally, do callbacks. Just beware, NO NO NO reputable agency will charge you for photos, interviews, portfolios, etc. Also, you may even be able to get an amateur photographer - one who is looking to breaking into the business, to take some shots for free.
Best of luck to you!!

Sure but it would take a lot of commitment. Tough business.
Anyone can be a model, as there's constant demand for regular people models.
But you've got an advantage because people are tired of impossible stick-insect models who are size 1, and so there's demand for more normal-shaped models. And tall is always good. Seems like your time ;) Go for it and be honorable, but relentless.

maybe catalog or commercial modeling (which isn't a bad element) I do exactly no longer think of your face is unique sufficient to be in severe style . (maximum "great fashions" have very memorable faces and it quite is the reason they are so properly familiar in the marketplace ) you look very friendly and quite which I hear is super for catalog and commercial :D

Trust me sweety, I'm a model, your boobs are too small and you weigh too much. It's a big, big world out there, especially in the modeling industry. Just don't try it! My bra size is 47 C and my weight is 125. Nice try, anyway!

Try it! Sounds like you could do it. But before you try anything serious - have a friend take a couple pictures of you and if they stink, maybe you should try something else

You could and make sure you remember you can be anything you want to be you just have to put your mind to it and no matter what they say you can do it its not the end of the world, and you can try anything as long as you want to so as long as its something you want to do. go for it. IT NEVER hurts to try at lease you can say you did it.
