It's been a while
So, I have not posted anything in a while because I have been sick and very busy with school. Some things have changed with my modeling though. I am no longer going to be doing the modeling courses with the agncy I spoke of previously. I did not have the money, and after more investigation, didn't like what I found. Many people had commented that the agncy is just in it for money and will not help you get jobs. I can't afford to take that risk. I should have listed to Tyra when she said no legitamate place will charge!
So it was onward and upward. I created a profile on Model Mayhem.com and set up a few shoots to start ny profile. I will post the pics. I will continue to get shots and try to get jobs as well as looking into other agencies.

My first agency interview
I only had one day to prepare for my interview but that is to be expected in the modeling industry. I decided on an outfit that was fairly plain but had alittle flair to it. I wore darkwash jeans with highheeled boots underneath. I wore a tight black tee shirt with a simple silver necklace. It was cold and rainy so I topped it off with a cute leather jacket.
I made sure to get there early to provide for traffic and also to show them I am punctual. I sat in the waiting area and looked through their books to get familiar with their work. My interviwer then brought me into her office and got aquainted with me, telling me they liked my look and gave her shpeal on the company.
I told her a little about myself and asked some quesitons. I was constantly aware of my face and body position. I wanted to make sure I came across as good listener, conversationalist, and overall nice person. She said I was bubbly which is funny because I worked really hard at it. I have a tendency to come off "harsh" (termed by one of my friends) when I meet new people because I am reserved. The whole time I was thinking "don't be harsh, don't be harsh", so I guess it worked out.
By the end of the interview, she told me she really liked me and wanted me to be a part of their agency. I signed some papers and was on my way. My classes start in December. I'll write about those too!
