Sutherland Models

Recently, my friend Denize has been bothering me about how hot i am and that i should really try modeling. I always just brushed her comments off, but then after watching A Model Life on YouTube, a job in the modeling business seemed like a great idea for me. You travel, you get a great salary (if you get accepted) and all you have to do is learn how to look good on camera.

So i tell my mom about my new interest and she tells me to go for it (after a surprised glare at me). I head down to Sutherland Models in downtown and they tell me about their company and about their modeling school. All seems amazing and wonderful. Then my mom calls her family friend who has a daughter who went to modeling school there. She says it's all bs and a rip off. I go home and read some reviews and it says the same thing. You don't need modeling school to be a model... and if they want to make you a better model, those tips or classes should be free. So i call her and say 'My mom and i discussed modeling... I'm getting braces soon and i don't think i can model' and she says 'Well,' (i forgot the name of the girl, let's call her Anne) ' Anne has just won a modeling contest while wearing braces.. i think she'll be on the next Flare magazine" "That's amazing! But I'm sorry i can't" (I thought she was making this up) "I see, your mom has made a decision... thank you, good bye" I hang up a bit sad but at the same time relieved that she didn't question me. The worst part is when i called her i asked if she remembered me and she's like 'Of course! I've been showing your photos around the studio all day' Which i also think is a lie...

Anyways, although I'm happy i didn't get ripped off, i don't know where to go anymore. I AM getting braces in September i think and i DO want to model... But then if i won't get any castings with my braces it's just waisting my time, meaning i have to wait a year in order to model. Sucks. I don't want to wait. I'm not a very patient person by nature... I am to an extent, but my patience doesn't last me a year.

Another thing: I'm not 5'8" which is the requirement for many agencies. Many RELIABLE agencies too.

Well, hopefully everything will turn out well in the end, but for now i just have to be patient :|

P.S.

Although i went to the agency, i only told Alona and Denize because i don't want to seem vain. Hah, I know it sounds stupid. But i don't get any pride with saying 'I'm going to try out to be a model'
