GordyR on the forums used to be a model I believe so he might be able to advise further.

Usually I think the process is that you either go to an agency or get 'spotted' on the street and asked to produce a portfolio which will then be hawked around to see if you fit the criteria for any jobs going. I don't think you normally get paid other than for the shoots you do but hopefully someone with more knowledge can correct me

I know... that is why I only used a smile and not a grin!

I am worried about the blonde highlights comment and I am backing away!

Have you ever thought there's more to life than being really really professionally good looking?

Think it over long and hard.....use the time during the manicure to really consider your options. If you're still dead set at the end of the pedicure, give it a whirl!

Not being funny mate but if you're not already popular with girls then what makes you think you're model material? You're still gonna look the same whether you're a model or not...
