The Hoopla About Modelling

maybe its me but i find it funny that when i ask girls what they do aside from schooling they all claim to be models. If u check the sun page 3 pictures, they all claim to be models. of course its lucrative but there can't be that many models or maybe i am the one missing out on a lucrative opportunity(start modelling underwear for armani or suits for dakova, )

You really got it right. All my tall girl-friends tell me they are modelling. For who, I don't know. Looks like it's the place it's happening now. bi how una noo feel so ...

Don't miss the action; you may make your millions as an agent!

Hey, Allen, I'm a model too! Here are my statistics:

Height: 5'11"
Color: Light Brown.
Bust: huh?
Waist: wetin be dat
Hip: man size

At least you don't have man-boob's seun

I figure people say that there something that there not because it makes em look better I guess.

It seems that's what's reigning now.
I've even seen some girls that look like  but they still claim they are modelling part time.

I think it has something to do with the big 3 GSM companies (MTN, Vmobile, Glo).

MTN in particular has been bombarding young men and women all over the country with images of flawless male and female models picked from our Universities (maybe just UNILAG?) Why won't every young lady want to be a model?

But are they lying?

I guess being thought of as a model makes them think they'll attract a different calibre of man that what they currently attract?

Lol, I'd never try that line; the guy would see right through me!

Technically, they aren't lying. We can think of them as amateur models or freelancers.

All other things being equal, I would choose a girl who is something else (entrepreneur? doctor? maid?) over a model or actress. It's like sharing your other half with the whole world. Ewww.

@mamba well as to those girls, well they are usually used for contrast as in "If he/she(as ugly as he/she is) can look good in that dress then I can "

I now understand.
So girls can also model too
I thought modelling was only for girls

Hmm, am sure when you see these so-called girls without any make-up, you will RUN!!!!!

Say it like it is girl. to know a pretty person you have got to see them without make up because coasmetic does do wonders i mean anyone would look good once they are all made up!! that is why i marvel at all these teenagers that are so captivated by these celebrities i mean they think that those are real, but they have no idea how many hours of making up that had been done and then they stress themselves up if they do not look like their favourite celebrity!! i thinl that is sooooooooo sad!! i mean have they really seen them without make up? then look sickly!!!! all these peopl are normal

im gonna be a model

everyone is a model these days,
therefore i refuse to even look at the dang business

Well, if they want to achieve their dream of modeling then they should send their pics and stats to models@africanvibes.com[size=10pt][/size]

my sister is gonn@ be a model but not a naija model. international, all she is waiting for is to turn 18. her deal is already done with some peps. everyone wants to look good. if you got what it takes to be a model then go for it.

yah that is rite, check out page 3 girls of the sun and more than half of them say they are models,

Good luck to those who are is what i say, fair dos atleast young people especially in Nigeria are turning their hands at doing good for themselve because the government wont do it, so i dont knock no one who is modeling, whether fashion,couture,page3 lol. Same with the acting in movies thing too our guys and dolls need to survive some how.

Goodluck to ur sis Diddy

thanks darl.

hmm
I don't think modelling makes u look good.
That's jus ma own opinion tho.
People usually ask me if I'm a model
jus cos I'm slim, tall, photogenic and all that ish,
but I ain't about to start claiming that I'm one wen I'm nat.
I'd like to model but it's not like a passion or anything.
It obviously is for some people.

I WUNNA BE A DANCER!!
I think that's more worthwhile.

These days 18 is almost too old to start.
Many are between 16 and 18 and very few 20 and above when they start.

to start wut? modelling?

Well its not a bad thing to model, its better than selling out ur body on the streets. It aint about being pretty, u have to be very comfortable with ur body to do it, but nowadays, its so insulting to see some things on the runway. Even some people that wowo embrace so bad, still do their thing on the runway, but hey, aint nothing wrong with that.

There's nothing wrong with being a model or even aspiring to be a model is there?
When people complain and complain about Nigerian girls and boys(youths in general)i always want to shout back in their faces "WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE?". Most people sit high and mighty in foreign countries and start looking down on people here for doing what they do,given a choice am sure most Nigerians wouldnt be the way they are!

Sheesh!

Correct me if am wrong but i dont think modelling is about pretty faces, it's about body language. wat matters is height, shape and carriage. and how in harmony ur features are, unless u r maybe a face model or something.

The best models of all times are mostly ugly, but their bodies and movements are like wooowwww!

@ emmasess
U had to copy and paste my post, 'cos,,,,,,,,,,,,,?

Well they are usin wat they hav to get wat they want, nothin wrong in dat!!

yup Jalal
True talk.

i feel some of them are wanna be models , or maybe it is just a craze in town,

models are not always bad people ii live in california and i am a nigerian pursuing modeling thats the whole reason livin in da states for me and not all models are there to make teens fell that they have to look like them they are mainly meant to advertise and if the models happen to look good then oh well good genes and if teens feel ugly because they see a model who they think looks beta than them then they have self esteem problems and need therapy
