categories or types and this will follow the sort of worksh will do the usual ones that you have you have a junior and her height would be 55 height is tremendously important in a model uh she can be

exotic sort of face now girls before we start our 10 posing classes I'd like to find out from each of you why you decided to go into modeling Linda well I guess it was about a month ago now um I did some work for a photographer friend of mine and he suggested that I take a course so here I am and how about you Connie G I guess ever since I was old enough to first start reading a fashion magazine I had a dream of becoming a model when I finally had an opportunity to move to a larger city than my dream could come true great list uh started with a little bit of modeling and Copenhagen and um I came over here about one year ago to become a successful model you need talent appeal and training a reputable School of modeling will assess your potential and choose your courses L see how are you

to become models and although only a few of them actually succeed the training received is valuable to any girl regardless of her final profession Hello Girls welcome to your first of five makeup classes my name is Dale would you introduce yourself okay could we have Christina on the scales first placee yeah push them down forward that's it 118 okay JIS 110 okay good no one has a weight problem okay tonight we're going to go into proper skin cleansing we'll get to picking out your foundation base and probably a powder most of you are probably using soap on your face now which will not get into your pores and clean out the modeling slap that you'll have to use so you'll have to invest in a cleansing line which includes the cleanser itself the stringent protection cream which goes on before your foundation and a night cream okay now the way to use your cleansers are in the direction of these arrows on the diagram some models have become famous as personalities and may be strikingly unusual but these are rare you must learned to be versatile in looks and attitude to adapt to the type of job you will depend at times on AIDS such as hair pieces spectacular makeup false eyelashes and many other Secrets models use to look beautiful Darkness under there now the shading is worked under the bone bring it up and around what do you think girls fantastic Joanna your clips [Music] well you all look like that in a couple months keep [Music] practicing the number is 681 available in 29 different colors of leather as well as the color you're seeing right now the wholesale clothing showrooms employ the most models fast changes attractive poses the ability to show the clothes to their best Advantage along with some knowledge of the merchandise may all be required of the showroom model but along with this comes steady employment in many cases although it could also include some typing and answering the telephone and this is available in many different colors [Music] there are many different types of modeling jobs there are runway models photographic models showroom models catalog models and models for television commercials even if only their hands are [Music] used in your best times you may be working 18 hours a day you may also go 3 months without a job the pay can be very good but it is rarely assured another factor to consider if you are interested in making a career in modeling is that your working years are limited a model who keeps her looks may work up to the age of 30 [Music] [Applause] [Music] n [Applause] ready you're down there Patty come in here and get lorett now D you see catalog modeling is the bread and butter of the trade it requires many different kinds of models children teenagers sophisticates men old women all sorts who must stand on the set without moving and put across the look of whatever they might be wearing out of each six shots five must be good this is important because the customer never sees the actual comment only the pictures in the catalog the main purpose regardless of the type of job is to sell clothing Cosmetics cars food just about anything to do this you must not override your work with your personality the public should be more more interested in the product than in you [Music] hey let's try once more remember now on [Music] three one 2 three L most people wonder what an agent does and that always reminds me of the Hollywood image in Grade B movies that we're villains and we take 10% and that's all an agent does when is the audition I suppose most important part of your job is getting the girl at work hello B hi Le how are you yeah tomorrow location um yeah okay where are you doing it scarver of BLS what is it fashion reasonably High fashion two girls and one man okay you have descendant of the right people who would probably like her type best to begin with once she starts getting her feet wet and gains a little more confidence it becomes much easier for her but it's most important how you sell her somebody with dark hair for a good contract then of course you look after her negotiations for her money because Talent is very bad at that and you look after her bookings more or less traffic managing her day and there are so many bits and pieces as to what an agent does for the model she sort of has a place to come home to I suppose who was in here the other day that had long Ellen Jordan was good Robin laen did you see him in springf he really [Music] what they told me it's just fine today just I got the models in today we're probably going to have to shoot him anyway would you hold on for a minute please hi Joanna hi clette well look we're going to have to probably take the shots anyway today the weather is bad but uh we may have did you bring the pan outfit got it I think the van is coming let's get going man [Music] oh look it's it's clearing up hey your b e wow it's going to clean [Music] up although some of the jobs are exciting others are dull and tedious it is all work you will require a specialized knowledge of how to de with the photographer or the fashion coordinator or the salesman to come up with the image he wants to put across this can cause quite an emotional strain switching from one personality to another sometimes in a matter of minutes physically too this begins to show in a model after a few years actually I do enjoy modeling while I wouldn't do it I didn't enjoy it uh I think most girls get involved in the sense that uh they find it very difficult once you really establ establish yourself and get going to find anything to how do you say top it there are um certain jobs that all of us do not enjoy for example doing fashion shows nobody can possibly imagine what goes on behind the scenes that is where we change where we um put on our makeup Etc uh during a fashion show we have a proximately a minute to change uh take your clothes off plus get into the other one you have approximately three dressers and there's millions of people backstage you have hairdresser you have someone to dress you you have the shop owner there Etc and it gets very confused and very congested and I have to say I've experienced a few fashion shows where it's been almost humiliating in the sense that there you you are so much of a mannequin you are nothing more nothing less than a mannequin I mean you just show the Garment to the best of your ability it doesn't matter who you are what you feel you have to sell that garment it's not you that's important it's that garment where I going to get you a drink from okay how's this like my ridiculous they have to be ridiculous I have to exaggerate it to you know no really you have to oh you're kidding bring the bring the um orange one forward have my heart please miss I think I'm in love with you don't lie to her I've never seen anybody look like you do right now it's been [Music] great I think most of us get involved in the feeling that we have uh during photography the Rapport we develop with the photographer we're not limited we just constantly project whatever you feel in that certain garment as opposed to uh being limited solely to selling the Garment you can express what you feel and it's [Music] beautiful she's got to be one of the most responsible people in the world she still has to be somewhat creative she has to be malleable in taking Direction and she has to have the stamina of a Dre horse and this is so incredibly true because you're drooping and all of a sudden you pull yourself together because you've got to look absolutely super most girls going into it don't realize this and my advice to any girl who wants to go into modeling she must realize that it is a full-time career and accept so many of the responsibilities involved in it and that it is very hard work [Music] a [Music]
