melvin polatnick asked:


Owning a model agency was a business that fit my single lifestyle perfectly. I never thought that being married had anything to offer but a steady sex partner. Since I was a guy that quickly tired of having sex with the same woman, marriage offered me nothing. The agency I owned provided all the sex I needed with the most beautiful women. And I made love to hundreds of them.

The women I put under contract cost me thousands of dollars to promote. Once they started making money my ten percent fee got back my investment. But it took a couple of years before I could show a decent profit. If a girl quit me to work for a different agency before I got my investment back I was out of luck. The contract I had with them was not worth the paper it was written on. Going to court to sue the model was not worth the effort. I depended on loyalty and the key to my success was by getting it.

The initial interview with the model applying for a job with my agency was of prime importance. We had to produce a bond of familiarity that would be stronger than any contract. I found that bond by having oral and anal sex with them. It produced a loyalty that no contract could provide. A contract is made of only paper. The mingling of body fluids that oral and anal sex produces is embedded in the body and mind never to be forgotten. It worked, and I got models that stayed with my agency for many years. Their loyalty amazed our competitors and I was given a business management award by a local college.

I am now retired and live alone in a penthouse apartment overlooking the waterfront. Having sex no longer interests me but I have many female visitors. They are models that once worked for me and were successful. They give me kisses and hugs and thank me for what I had done for their careers. I explain to them that it was their loyalty to me that was partially responsible for their success. And that loyalty was produced by the magic of having anal and oral sex with a man that they trusted would help them. Alls well that ends well and I am proud of my successful business practices.

The ways of hiring models has changed and so has the ways of getting loyalty. There was a time for business men like myself that no longer exists, but it was fun for everybody while it lasted.

Orange Models asked:


Remember - great photographs aren’t accidents - they require planning.

Practice - Practice - Practice! Mirror, Mirror on the Wall 5 minutes at a time at least once a day. Even top models spend time in front of the mirror - practicing expressions and poses.

Practice facial expressions in front of the mirror - learn how your face feels with a perfect smile - no gums, eyes open - not squinting. It is important to know how your face feels when you smile, or laugh, or frown, or pout. It is important to know how your body feels when it is posed in an attractive manner.

Creating an impressive portfolio is one of the most important things in modeling. You need lots of professional and, most importantly, wonderful photos. First of all you have to create a wardrobe. Although original ideas are always appreciated by photographers, there are some things that every model should have in her or his wardrobe.

You have to make a statement with your wardrobe. The clothes you choose must create a character. If you know that the photo session is going to take place in some certain place, try to find out more about it, so you could choose the right things that would match the whole atmosphere.

Have in mind that it’s a great advantage if you have clothing for after five wear, casual, sexy and glamorous looks. Swimwear is a thing you won’t do without. Although it’s common wardrobe for everyone, you still have an opportunity to make your own statement, to look differently than others.

You won’t be able to create a complete style without accessories. Gloves, sunglasses, jewelry and hats are very important. Match them with your clothing and you’ll make a real good impression for the modeling agencies.

Even if you have a great wardrobe, don’t forget that you have to take care of yourself as well. No photographer will work with a female or male, whose nails are dirty, skin is not clear or who has hair roots that have grown out after last dye.

Taking care of yourself and showing that you are willing to work hard and put lots of effort in the things you do is the key to get the job. Be original and express your character through your style and modeling agencies will get impressed by you. Your wardrobe, your character and your willingness to work are just as important as your looks.

How To Install Vinyl Siding

Scott White asked:


There are many different forms of modeling out their, figuring out which modeling industry may be difficult if you don’t know what your looking for, so here’s a description on many of the forms of modeling.

High fashion modeling

High fashion modeling consists of mainly fashion runway shows. This is when designers hire models to wear their clothes down the runway to present them for the first time to the public. High fashion will also carry over to fashion magazine spreads, where the models will wear the coutures of designers as a form of advertisement.

There is a certain look different agencies will look for with this type of modeling. Some years they want really thin models and other years, models with curves. It’s all about the look of the season and what the designers are looking for as well.

The high fashion look is usually girls with the high cheekbones, long necks and square jaws. This may change but usually girls with more of an oval shaped face will not do well in the high fashion industry. They are more fit in categories of glamour.

This part of the industry is the most competitive because it is one of the highest paid modeling positions. There is a lot of drugs and partying, and some models make the fall into that and drop out of modeling. So you have to be careful and stay straight.

REQUIREMENTS:

A female model should be 14-19 years old

Mainstream range 5′9″-5′11″

Some exceptions being between 5.8″-6.0″

Weight needs to be between 108-130lbs, in proportion to height

Dress sizes 6-8

Desired measurements around 34B-24-34

Glamour modeling

Glamour modeling really doesn’t have any requirements. They have guidelines of what different magazines want. Some like a glamour model to have a more oval face because then the model appears to be sexier, but that is the personal preference of the client or photographer. Mostly it is whatever sells. Most glamour models are at least pretty fit as they show a lot of their body.

Glamour models are models that pose in magazines like Maxim and Stuff magazine. You will see them do a lot of implied shots as well as a lot of lingerie. A lot of glamour models also participate in promotional tradeshows as well as car events.

Petite modeling

Petite models usually work for small boutiques or stores with petite divisions. Petite models can also do makeup ads as size does not matter in those.

REQUIREMENTS:

Height: 5.2″-5.4″

Dress Size: 2-4

Plus size modeling

Plus size models usually work for stores with plus size divisions. Designers are starting to do plus size runway shows because it appeals to a large part of the population, since a lot of women are a size 12 or above. A plus size model usually has broad shoulders and is big boned with beautifully classic features.

REQUIREMENTS:

Height: 5.2″-6.1″

Dress Size: 12-14

These requirements will vary depending on the client. As well as the proportions of the model.

Teen modeling

In this division of modeling you will most likely be doing commercial print work and catalogue; there is other work, like high fashion, if you fit the height and weight requirements, but catalogue and print work make up most of the demographic of work received in this division of modeling.

REQUIREMENTS:

Ages 13-17

Mature modeling

You will see a lot of mature models in print and commercial advertisements. Companies like Viagra and Bayer will tend to use mature models because that’s the age group that uses their product the most.

REQUIREMENTS:

Ages 40+

Body Part Modeling (hand, foot, neck modeling, etc.)

Body part modeling is a specialty division. You model your foot, hand, leg, neck, etc. You have to have a perfect body part; that means no veins showing, perfect nails if hand or foot, no scars, no wrinkles, it needs to be clean, without blemishes. With hand models, agencies usually look for hands with long slender fingers.

Models in this division will also follow the same path as a regular model in the terms of finding an agency, building a portfolio and comp card.

Male modeling

Male models can do anything from commercial modeling to high fashion. Male models have a very competitive industry as most male models have to be perfectly fit to get hired on most jobs and because there are so many guys out there competing for the same roles, you have to be able to stand out in front of all them to get the role.

REQUIREMENTS:

Height: 5.10″-6.2″

Age: Late teens into late twenties.

Suit Size: 40 (This is standard size for male models, this size may vary depending on client)

Character or “Real People” modeling

This is also known as commercial modeling. In this part of the industry there are no requirements, just that you fit what the client is looking for. This part of the industry can include commercials, print, just about anything.

Catalogue modeling

Catalogue modeling is very competitive because it gives models a lot of exposure; Mostly brands like Victoria’s Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch. Because it’s so competitive, it is hard to sustain a fulltime income. Catalogue modeling is also specific to where you live, it’s very regional. If you live in city where the home office of that brand is located, they will most likely use you depending on the demands of advertising and if they like your look.

There is a lot of catalogue work out there. You might be working a lot for companies like Macys, Robinsons May, etc, but it’s there.

REQUIREMENTS:

Height: 5.7″-5.8″

Showroom Modeling

Showroom modeling can be a runway show in a local boutique introducing a new collection, also could be standing and showing their clothing at a fashion party. This kind of modeling you need to have contacts with local boutiques and local fashion designers.

REQUIREMENTS:

The clothes need to look good on you. Mosty calls for women who wear dress sizes 2-6.

Fit Modeling

This industry you are competing with a lot of fitness stars who are very particular about their body. You really have to be in GREAT shape to be in this division. Girls that’s right, you got to have a totally flat stomach or forget about this division. You can’t be really skinny either; you have to have muscle on you.

Some promotional models travel with the company at their expense from show to show. This can be a great opportunity for a beginning model as you will meet some of the directors and marketing personnel within that company, and that can lead to print work later down the road.

There are no specific requirements for this field.

Editorial (Magazine and Newspaper) Modeling

Editorial Models are the best of the best. They are the supermodels you know and love, like Tyra, Rebecca, Giselle and Cindy. They know exactly how to pose in front of a camera, and do just the right expressions for every shot. Editorial models also have the chance to be a little more creative with their work. This is something to strive for.

To become a plus size model you have to be very self-confident and determined. The world of modeling is highly competitive, so you must be determined to be a successful model. How you perceive yourself is very important because it’s how you see yourself that people will see you. You need to be very self confident, believe you can do it and not allow anybody to look down on you.

To be a plus size model you must look good. Your looks are very important. But modeling is more than looks; you must have the right kind of figure. Don’t think that because plus size models are not slim people, that your figure doesn’t matter, it does.

To be a plus size model you need to find out if you have what it takes, the right face, height, beauty, figure etc. Knowing that you have what it takes helps boosts your confidence.

You are going to need a good agent to be a plus size model. Good agents help make your modeling career successful but getting them is not always easy. There are so many people out there who are also dreaming of becoming plus size models. It is action that separates the truly successful from the mere dreamers.

You will have to be persistent to get signed up with a good modeling agency. There are so many people out there who want to be models also, so it’s a really competitive world. Persistence counts. You must be ready for initial rejections. Nothing good comes easy, so don’t let initial rejection in your search for a good modeling agency stop you from becoming what you want to become.

You will also have to get good professional shots of yourself and send the best of them to different agencies. Even after that you can’t afford to just sit down and do nothing; you will have to be very persistent by following up on the agencies until you get into a good one.

Plus size modeling is becoming very popular these days and it’s becoming a really lucrative form of modeling. As a plus size model you can make good money by modeling for top designers of plus size clothes. You can become a plus size model if you have what it takes and you are determined and persistent enough.

Alex Coulson asked:


The most important part of working the game with these types of women is your lifestyle.

Creating a lifestyle that naturally attracts women is so pivotal to attracting these types and caliber of women.

Look at the photographers for model agencies and why they’re always surrounded by beautiful women, there’s nothing that special about a photographer as he may not have an expensive car, his own place or even be good looking or rich, far from it actually. The key here is that it’s his lifestyle that draws women to his side.

Now look at TV Celebrities or actors. These types of men don’t necessarily have the best dating skills as they’re constantly breaking up, getting back together, having affairs, re-marrying, divorcing etc and we know about this because they’re constantly in the public eye. The only reason why most these actors are dating high profile actresses and models is because they’re in the industry and have the lifestyle.

So what is the lifestyle that these types of women crave?

Well below is listed a short list of what models and celebrities crave in the lifestyle of their man.



Cool “inner secret parties” and invitations to special events and hi-profile get-togethers

Be seen as the authority in the industry or be recognized and of some standing by their peers and colleagues

Be seen as active with interesting activities on the weekend such as sailing, viewing art galleries, rock climbing and other intriguing activities

Be intelligent and witty with a love of language, poetry, wine and culture

Be fit and active physically and mentally (go to the gym and workout)



Money, good looks and a sports car won’t get you this lifestyle however it won’t hurt it. If you’re genuinely a cool guy who has an interesting life filled with experiences and travel then these women will naturally be attracted to you. If you actually possess an expensive car, house and are good looking you will find this compliments the package however it won’t help you unless you have the foundation of the lifestyle.

Toby Marshall asked:


In February, an interview with Toby Marshall was published in Shortlist on the Talent Scarcity Myth. This is an industry magazine, and it drew a lot of Comments as for many in the industry, the belief in scarcity is like a mantra (not surprising given all the conferences and articles.)

For example, Julie Mills - CEO, RCSA (the Australian industry body representing agency recruiters):

“Claims by [Abacus] that the real issue is underemployment, not skills shortages, is not what the RCSA is finding in its activities with recruiters, job boards, candidates and clients.

In dealing with recruiters of all levels, every day, and around the country, the message I am getting is clear: finding employees with the right skills set is getting harder.

[Our latest Research] found that 91 per cent of agencies are devoting more time and resources to finding candidates than they did a year ago.”

Which of course, is my point: they are fighting the wrong war (see below).

Julie then goes on to quote the usual demographic shifts that have been talked about for 10 years or more.

Another good response was from Stephen Hinch, the Chief Marketing Officer at Manpower. It draws on the excellent and detailed research that Manpower has done in this field of long term demographic shifts.

As with Julie, the problem is the conclusions he reaches. That somehow market forces are not automatically brought into play to mitigate temporary skills shortages. In fact there are about 6 linked forces that stop shortages being anything other than short term (though they can last a bit longer in remote, relatively isolated places like Western Australia as John Kirkby rightly points out.)

The many excellent articles by Ross Gittens in the Sydney Morning Herald explain better than I can how these forces work. Basic economics. Any scarcity is temporary.

My original article essentially argues that long term shortages are impossible. It was also an attack on McKinsey’s ‘War for Talent’. Catchy phrase, made them a lot of money, but wrong. It is not a war for talent, it’s a war for resources to get the job done. Subtle, but an important difference.

There are plenty of resources to get the job done amongst the under-employed and elsewhere. Employers just need to think different. Some are.

Now, I didn’t write the original article on Shortlist, and it only touches on issues explored in my books and articles.

Abacus is arguing for a fundamental shift in approach by employers who want to think differently about scarcity. And stop constantly proving Einstein’s definition of insanity.

To stop taking their lead from recruiters, 90% of whom have the same business models:

Transaction focused; upfront commission driven; and responding to, not leading their clients.

So I agree with Julie Mills:- transaction recruiters and their clients are experiencing scarcity. They soldier on in McKinsey’s phoney war for talent.

Mobilising the 5 groups of under-employed is not just a nice thing to do. With labour markets, even a small percentage increase in supply has a BIG impact.

However, our interest is not with all employers: Only those who want to lead the pack with different strategies.

Orange Model Management asked:


“Before the Casting”

Once you are selected by the client your agent will call to let you know that have an audition. This is the beginning of the process if you perform well and/or the client is satisfied with your attributes/personality you may be selected for the job.

At Orange Model Management we usually call and then email you all the information you require for the casting, such as:

1. Who the client is and the product.

2. When the call-backs would be scheduled.

3. When the shoot would take place.

4. What the rate is.

5. What the wardrobe requirements are.

6. Location of the open-call/audition

If you don’t have a conflict with the open-call/audition time, tell your agency that you will be there but if you do then try to accommodate the audition because auditions are a privilege not an option. Your persistence and experience will eventually payoff and you will get your lucky break.

Once you confirm all details prepare for your audition. Stage a fake audition. Have a friend act like the casting director/ client. Walk out of the room and have your friend sit down. Walk back into the room and greet the casting director (your friend). Then, start the scene if your character speaks first.

Audition Tips:

Nothing is more important in modeling/ acting than that little thing called “confidence”. You may have the perfect body, the most beautiful or handsome face, but what works is your confidence level. A very high level of confidence is required if you want to succeed in the modeling/ acting world.

Fortunately, confidence can be developed over time. One way of doing so is to study and learn everything there is to know about the modeling/ acting world. And of course, practice always makes perfect.

Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your call time. Time is of the essence and tardiness is considered unprofessional and may even get you blacklisted from future shoots. Avoid unnecessary chit-chat or making physical contact with the casting director during your audition.

Never view an audition as nerve-wracking nightmare, or make it look that way. Instead, consider each audition as an opportunity and your chance to perform for a small audience. Make sure to walk into the audition saying “No matter what happens, I’ll do the best I can today.” Be positive and remember that casting directors are not there to judge you but rather they are there hoping to find the perfect person for their project (this could be you).

You must bring your portfolio book to the casting. In your portfolio book keep your portfolio pictures, some composite cards, headshots and resumes. If you have a wide selection of portfolio pictures make sure to include some photos that relate to the audition you are going to. Similarly avoid including portfolio photos which may conflict with the audition’s theme or purpose for instance, don’t take a portfolio full of lingerie shots when the intended role is “young mother”.

At Orange Model Management we expected to attend castings for different types of projects such as print, TV commercials, TV series, Feature films, runway, music video and promo projects etc. Here are some tips on how to act and prepare for them.

Casting for a Print Project -

For a print job audition, photographers will usually take a Polaroid. The photographer needs to know if you are appropriate to the role, and you have to take on the demeanor of a person in that role. You still need to be friendly and courteous while acting as the person they are casting for.

Casting for a Runway Show -

Watch professional models in action on the runway. Observe how they walk, how they move, how their eyes are focused, how their shoulders usually don’t move, and other details. Then practice, practice and practice your walk.

Casting for a TV series/ Feature Film -

If you are asked to prepare a monologue, practice the one you already know or choose a new monologue if needed. Practice alone or in front of a friend.

If you are given sides (a scene from the project) break them down and make choices about the character you’re playing and who the person or other people in the scene are to you. Find ways to relate to the material.

Once you have done your work, memorize, memorize, memorize. Casting directors will appreciate it.

Casting for a TV Commercial -

Get acquainted with the product or subject of the commercial. Listen to the casting director’s instructions and follow them explicitly. There is no room for improvisation in a TV commercial. TV commercials are about selling a product, not about creative expression. While there are exceptions to this rule, they don’t occur very often.

Casting for a Music Video -

Get acquainted with the subject of the Music Video. Usually, the casting director have a clear idea of what they want in a model, whether they should be good at dancing or have a drop dead gorgeous look, or both.

Sometimes they need extras to perform as the crowd/audience or if it is a story-based video then perhaps they require models/actors from all age groups. Hence everything is based on the story line.

In this case your booking agent would explain to you what you really need to focus on.

After the Casting?

What happens after the audition/open-call? Most often, nothing. But sometimes you may be called back (you made the short list) one or more times, you may be put on “hold” (also called “option”), or you may be booked for a job.

A call-back is simply another audition for the same job. It isn’t time to bring out the champagne, but it is time to start getting more optimistic. Your agent will advise you how to prepare for the call-back.

If you are put on hold, you have a very good chance of being booked.
