Votes Needed - Model Search

[AlphaFrog]

Actually, agzg, I don't mind the political debate. As someone who is around a 6/8, having a photographer tell me I'd be a great plus size model is sort of discouraging. The photographer agreed that it was a ridiculous standard, but it's something that's going to take awhile to change.

I've mentioned in the bridal threads that I'm happy to see that designers are starting to use more real-sized women as bridal models. There are always going to be those designers who insist on using walking coat-racks as models, but I actually see a minor changes coming.

My dog in the fight (because regardless of what size I am, I'm 5'2'' and couldn't be a FASHION model, which is why I'll stick to commercial) is that my daughter is 6 and 4'3" and stands a really good chance of being tall enough to be a high fashion model. She's got naturally skinny genes, but I still don't want her to have to make herself unhealthy to model. She's got one fashion agency interested in her, and I would LOVE to see the standards change in time for her to be a healthy weight.

Oh, and American Apparel is not generally my type of style, but for a National campaign, at this point, I'll take what I can get!

ETA: I don't feel like bumping my other thread for this, but I also booked a job next weekend. I'm working the Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Tourney (Joey Fatone is going to be there!!! My 12 year old self is squeeeeing) and the Durham Bulls game. I'm going to be either Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck in full costume. No, I'm not joking. I'm actually really excited. And again, I'm not joking - I'm getting paid to act goofy in front of people I don't know.
