Top 10 mandatory lessons I learned and that comes along with being signed with TOP Modeling and Braodcasting Agencies

1.) Take advice on changing your looks within reason! Put aside the affection you share for your hair and it’s color; if they say to cut your hair then just do it!

2.) Skincare is a the ultimate trait a client sees. It is CRUCIAL to care for your skin properly. Hair MUST be perfectly blown-out too.

3.) Teeth should not be too white (that creeps out casting directors), or discolored.

4.) Learn how to dress like a model. Tailored jeans with no trendy adornments. Plenty of blogs out there to teach you, “Daria Werbowy” is a great example. The street hooker look is dead :)

5.) High heels always, unless they are the hottest boot and current fashion.

6.) Mascara, mascara, mascara! No shadow,lip color,or penciled anything. No chippy nail polish either.

7.) One handbag only and it should be fabulous (it doesn’t have to be expensive). When visiting an agency or clients, do NOT bring luggage, gym bags or lunch bags.

8.) Be PUNCTUAL (always on time), be polite, and no chewing gum.

9.) Learn the city layout and time traveling efficiently.

10.) No making special requests or answering cell phone on a set, unless it’s your agent calling then you asked to be excused.

Remember YOU as the model, are only one of the components to a creative collaboration. xo- Yoanna
