one of my biggest goal ever would be to make it out onto the import modeling world. i love cars (one of the low majority of girls who do express passion in cars) and i have a distinctive look, as many people have said. i'm interested in the things i should work at, and what my portfolio would entitle, but most of all, some top name import modeling agencies out there. anyone who has any information about just the import modeling world, feel free to brief me in, lol!

I would suggest submitting some of your images to the companies that put on the import shows. For example, Hot Import Nights is always looking for new models for their shows, and they do have a model directory on their site. Also I would recommend going to the shows and talking to the vendors, give them a comp card and see if they are looking for spokesmodels. Sometimes the models get signed and they travel with that particular vendor for the show season. A few of the nationwide events out there........

As far as vendors.............

You would be suprised who the import people like. I thought they actually would not like me. Because I am not Asian. But that was actually a plus for me when I submited photos.
They said it's nice finding models with other looks.
You have a very different look too!!! You are Asian with blue eyes. Something you do not see everyday. I sugguest get some professional photos of yourself in swimsuits.Cute little outfits , very sexy looks.Then submit.
Also, try submiting to DSport. I submited to them.They haven't repsonded. So, I think I might have to call them. I notice talking to them make a huge diffence. They like nice, fun girls, with big personalities.
I must ad alot of Import models are much more then just a pretty face. Companies want a girl that can talk to people at HIN's and what not. You are a huge reason for the fans to come. You kind of speak for them.

What the 2 above said is pretty accurate.

Your port now is good but not good for import modeling style. Like the model above me said, do so me shoots in some bikinis, little short sets and so forth. Because at most of the shows you will be wearing those sorts of things also.

Good luck and you do have a great look.
