    There is no chance you will ever have a serious shot at being a model. Your face isn't symmetrical enough and you have terrible bone structure. You look very cute... but nobody wants cute, they want interesting. Then there's the height issue. You need to be 5'7 at the very least to have any chance in the modeling world. Also I'm not sure about your skin. Due to the colour I cannot tell if those are small blemishes or freckles on your forehead. If they're freckles, no problem... but blemishes are a different story; you need flawless skin to model. I honestly do not see why you want to model. It isn't the glamorous job TV and magazines makes it out to be. The hours are terrible, the pay is horrid, and the competition is unbelievably fierce.

    If you actually want to follow this pipe dream put together a portfolio, start working with local photographers, work on mimicking different facial expressions, learn the runway walks (and how to do it in huge shoes), and then start submitting portfolios to various modeling agencies and they will hook you up with work. Once you've established yourself a bit you can go online and put your portfolio up and try and network some on your own. Be prepared to do tons of free work simply for the exposure (for example Marc Jacobs pays his runway models in clothes as opposed to cash). It's also optimal that you live in a city... preferably one with a major fashion scene.

    Deffinately :)

    Height has a lot to do with it when it comes to modelling. One of my good friends does modelling now, and how she got into it was joining a modelling agency and starting up a portfolio. Do some shoots to show how versatile you can be. You can either find work through your modelling agency, or find people who are in the photography and makeup industry.

    For example I am doing a makeup course, where for my final piece I need a model. You wont initially get paid, until you build up a portfolio, and doing things like that is a great idea.

    Goodluck!! :)

    Um definitely! I would first suggest to try to be a site model . You will eventually get discovered and become HUGE! Here upload your pics to these websites and sign up to be a site model : http://www.sitemodel.net/ and http://photobucket.com/images/sitemodel/ . Oh and find modeling pages on Facebook and Like It and try to somehow find someone that can help you become a model. Oh and Myspace is also a great way to start a modeling career. But don't get into trouble and be aware of the virtual world. Always look your best and remember us when you get big! Oh and if need my help just email me at Raveenajhajj2000@yahoo.com! Good luck and always try to stay healthy acne-free. :D
