congrats....... if you don't want to share this, i have no problem w/ that. but i was wondering what a model contract looks like and what it entails.. only bc a lot of girls tell me they're models but I can't see how they can make a lot of money from or if they just do it for fun or who takes photos of them etc...

Well it depends on:

1. Where you're signed
2. How big the agency is
3. If the agency is legit or not
4. What kind of modeling you're trying to get into
5. If it's an exclusive or non exclusive contract
6. Who the clients of the agency are

Mine is a non exclusive contract. While it's a decent sized agency, it was only formed in 1996. It's pretty new. So they won't necessarily get a ton of work from HUGE clients. It can happen once in awhile. But my agency knows it would be silly to expect me to ONLY try to be represented by them if I could possibly get more work through other agencies too.

Exclusive contracts usually come from the big dogs.

Also? A lot of girls lie about being models. lol Either that or they end up in the scam-type agencies where you have to shell out 500-1000 bucks before they work with you/get you work. Whaddaboolshit.

Next time a girl says "IM A MODEL" and you're like "sure you are", ask her for her card and her agent's card. Or a ZED card. If she's legit she can tell you the agency, her agent's name, and will have her agent's card on her... or a business card of her own with her agent's contact number on it

Well, I started doing shoots to build a portfolio October 1st. I really didn't mean to find representation until sometime in 2009. I was going to try next spring after my port was bigger.

BUuuuuuuuut I have my pics up on Model Mayhem. I've got a lot of bullshit offers in the last month. lol I declined an agency the week of my show because they were seriously a BRAND NEW agency with next to no clientele and they represented a handful of gaunt/waify looking runwayish kind of chicks. ANd all their stuff has been ads for local clubs. You know... like how when you go out and people put those laminated cards on your car that have the drink specials and a hot chick on it? Crap like that. Not the image or work I'm aiming for.

Guy from a fitness company found me on there and asked if I'd be interested in paid fitness model work. We talked on the phone, he referred me to the agency he normally uses (they didn't have a brunette fitness model on their books that he wanted to work with) and they signed me tonight.

Paid shoots start next month.

It's not a huge place, but it's a good place to start and they have a lot of work available for me to do since the agent who now represents me thinks I'm marketable to other areas of advertising aside from fitness (glam/commercials/skin care, etc)

I just haven't talked about it much to most people cuz I will never take myself seriously as a model and I'm afraid people will think I'm a snot. It's all just dress-up. Now it's just paid dress-up. lol

Well I'm glad other people enjoyed the sweater fiasco of the morning as much as I did. I was cracking up in my office!

Thank you, ladies! Exciting stuff... worked HARD and put myself out there for rejection multiple times in the last year. I'm grateful more doors are opening... just taking what life throws at me.

BANANAS.
