is a need for every age, size, figure and type. Because there are different
types of modeling, and each type or style demands a different look or size
or age, you may not be the right type to meet one requirement, but may
be perfect for another. High fashion may not be for you, but commercials
may be exactly what you're suited for! Remember the following:

retail, salon, tearoom, runway
