Hi Mary Kate,

Yes, I think you could be a model on day! Try go to an agency an ask for what look are they after now, or what you could do to become a model...You have a great skin and that is a plus, you know that, right? Smile

I wiss you all the best.

If you look at my height and weight you'll see I don't have an eating disorder.

Just curious as to what you mean by 'commercial' vs 'not particular'? I don't understand Question

I guess I'm looking for advice as to weather to present photos like this to an agency or just standing non smiling with no makeup so they can see bone structure, etc? Anyone?

Thank you Annlouise that is what I plan to do just doing research first.

I notice that the U.S. market wants girls to be be even thinner than me if you look at their height and weight (which I would not be comfortable with) and the European market seems to think I would be too thin? Is that a trend you are seeing?

Yes, I agree with You that the U.S.market want girls to be very thinner(even more than you), but I don't think that European market see you as a thinny girl...in my modest opinion, I think that you're just fine (to all the ways!)...I guess that you will know in the moment that you sent your profile to an agency... Wink

Don´t forget to do a list of all the agencies that you know, and then pick up only the good ones.

I have a doubt: is better send your profile to all the agencies that you would like to be, or send to one agency and wait their response?

P.S.:I'm just like You, I EAT A LOT!!! Laughing

By profile do you mean measurements.... and one body shot, one head shot? Without makeup I would imagine.

Are these body shots ok or should I have my mom take more?

And could I start do it thru email with digital photos Question

?
Everyone mentions polaroid, why? I don't have one...is digital ok?

I really appreciate your commets. Have you modeled? Which photos would you send of those posted? I can post more. And we can take more.

thanks so very much it makes the process seem less inhibiting
