Crusoe Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 post up some samples and we'll give you a fair review of your chances, know a couple of girls who have gone into that fhm/maxim style thing and make some money at it but there aren't many that make enough to have it as their only career more as a side line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 have to be aware of the effect it will have on your life too, whether BFs or family would be happy knowig what you are doing or what they think you are doing whihc might be two different things. A lot of it is fairly seedy until you get into the more professional levels though probably a very small percentage get that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimmyJFK Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Just be carefull, At the moment theres alot of companies wanting YOU to pay them!! Just don't... If your good enough they'll obviously pay you. If one company says they're not interested don't be shot down it's not that your not 'Beautiful or Pretty' don't let anyone make you think that.. Anyway I would send your samples to the magazines you want to be seen in. Not sure if theres adverts at the back for that. Just guessing anywayEDIT: My friends been a promo girl for Nissan a couple of times and really enjoyed it but they do try to take you away from your normal day to day job.... But obviously not all contracts are set in stone just be careful and think things throughOtherwise if it's what you want to do GO FOR IT!

Crusoe Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 a friend got some work through one of those maxim's hottest girls next door type deals where you can send in and vote online, not always the most pretty but the ones with the most votes behind them from forums etc. Not all glamerous though, standing around for hours at car shows in skimpy clothing gettting guys leering over you and trying it on or people thinking you're a slapper etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 as long as you're strong enough to live with the consequences and realistic and set limits on what you are happy to do and stick to them then it should be ok. Bet i'd make a good manager style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 see what potential you have then i might be able to put you in touch with someone who can give you some insider advice. You sound quite young so it is probably worth making sure you finish your qualifications too, can model on the side and still do a degree etc. might easier to get qualifications when you are younger with less responsibilities. Even the best modeling careers don't last more than 5 or 10 years, always someone younger and more attractive coming just behind you.@nicki we were being helpful style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max69vk Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Funny this subject has come up. Not to long ago we had a girl working at our company who (whilst slightly drunk) said she had done some modelling in the past. After around 3 months of working with us a friend somehow managed to find some rather interesting shots online of what she had done, needless to say she left the company soon after!The moral is to seriously consider what your doing & be prepared for any repercussions.(P.S. If anyone wants the links PM me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> ) Edited February 28, 2007 by Max69vk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
