Helen asks…
Strict school dress code. How can I make it look fashionable?
We have to wear collared shirts and docker style pants. The pockets of the pants have to be inside the pants. No outside pockets. We can also wear shorts and skirts.. but again no pockets. Everything we wear can only be one color.. nothing plaid or anything like that. We look like golfers =[ As for the shoes, they can't be strapless in the back. High heels are fine. So how can I pull this off without looking like a golfer on heels or anything like that. I already bought a few polos from lacoste and burberry.. where else can I buy polos that don't look cheap? And how about skirts? I only have one docker style looking pant. =[ HELP! And for the girl that has to go to a store to get her uniform and dosn't think this is strict.. I would rather wear a school girls uniform then look like a golfer everyday.. -_-
Our pick of the answers:
Ralph Lauren makes polos that don't look cheap. Add jewelry if you can, and headbands. That's soo limiting. I imagine you cannot add belts to cinch your waist? That would be cute.

Hi there! If you want to be a model I would actually recommend looking for local agencies instead of just posting your pic on a modeling site. Those sites are generally saturated with people and 99% will not get jobs. Most clients will not go looking randomly on modeling sites for talent, and you never know who's really asking to take your picture. (Also, you need to know your EXACT measurements. Height, weight, bust, waist hips ect.) So! How to you get started in the world of fashion and modeling? Research! Yep- that's the first step. Trust me, I have logged HUNDREDS of hours researching modeling and I'm still doing it on a daily basis. Let me start you off with some basics. -Know the type of modeling you want to do. Fashion, fashion/runway and photo print (Meaning magazines, local papers ect.) are generally the top three. In order to do runway you need to be a minimum of 5'8, and even at that models really only get runway jobs starting at 5'9. Remember that many models are at 5'10- 5'11 and are considered average height in the modeling world. -Research local talent agencies. Local agencies is where you will get and agent who can book jobs for you. BEWARE OF SCAMS. Remember that you should never have to pay someone to work for them! A reputable agent not take ANY money from you because they make money when you make money. They may suggest local training programs and image consultants, but will not take money themselves. -Find out how to apply. Most talent agency websites will have a place where they tell you how to do this. Most are similar, a headshot (a photo of your face) and a body shot in form fitting clothing, (But not skimpy or in a bikini!) Good guidelines for taking pictures are to keep it natural and fun! -Think about this for awhile. Modeling is a tough business. You are CONSTANTLY being judged on your looks and being asked to improve on them. It can be stressful, time consuming, and physically exhausting. - If you're under the age of 16, in order to actually be able to work at your age you will need a *work permit and a **Coogan Bank account. (Look to the bottom of the post to see a description) -I'd recommend taking some posing and acting classes and see how much you like it. This will also gie you an advantage when applying and give you time to figure out if you like it before jumping into a binding contract. -Rejection is a HUGE part of modeling. Sometimes clients are looking for a certain ethnicity, sometimes they are looking for a certain height, and sometimes they are just downright mean. Know that you will get rejected FAR more times then you will book a job. -Unique looks and races are generally a total plus. But sadly, it does not guarentee anything. So! With all that said. Let me give you a check list of sorts. 1. Research Research Research! Find local talent agencies, local classes, and find some poses to start practicing at home. 2. After you know how to apply, have your brother and his fancy new camera take some pictures of you! Try for basic headshots and body shots, with the headshots showing your full face and the bodyshots showing clothing that is form fitting but NOT skimpy. (They want to see your build but not your bellybutton ring. ;) 3.Booklet/portfolios are generally for AFTER you are signed by and agent. Usually you can submit yourself to an agency by email or written letter. If you manage to get an interview with an agent I would NOT recommend bringing a booklet with a ton of pics with you. This generally send the wrong message to the agent- that you think you're already a model. Just print out 1-5 of your favorite photos and bring them in an envelope. The agent will appreciate it because it's easier for them. 4. It's sad to say but most agents will only spend a few seconds per submission. So make your photos stand out! Be friendly and unique and you'll have a good chance! 5. Remember that there are MANY people who probably submit to the same agency. Have fun then don't worry about it once you submit your photos. If it happens it happens, if not- whatever! Good Luck! *A work permit is a permit for children and teens under the age of 16 to work for others and receive compensation. In order to get one of these your parents and school have to approve so make sure you have good grades! It's better to do this BEFORE you start go in to an agency interview. **All parents whose children work in the entertainment industry are required to open a Coogan account. It is mandatory that parents put 15% or their child's gross earnings into this bank account where it will essentially be the separate property of the child rather than that of the parents. Parents cannot touch the money without a court order or until the child is eighteen. This law was passed in 2000 as a result of Jackie Coogan and other prior child stars whose parents had unlawfully spent all of their earnings. It's better to do this BEFORE you start go
