And in the last week I have seen at least 5 girls that I knew in some way (hung out with, worked with on a job, same agency, etc.) and they are all 19 but I'm 22? (when we were the same age a year, two years ago...)

Rather annoying... I have yet to have someone say to me, "Gee... too bad you aren't 18...."

I can see if someone is just starting (fashion) modeling at 21, 22 - then I understand them not admitting that 100%.... but, after working with good people and having a book full of tearsheets?

I mean... don't people figure it out??

Eh.. maybe they went to space?

I think that they should update their ages.. but the one thing I think is even worse... The one's who list their measurement as something like 10 - 0- 15... (one model in Arizona has "34-10-10" on her port.. etc... never even close to what they actually are..

oh and those models who say their hair is extremely long.. but all images show their hair either just past their shoulders on maybe a little bit longer.. but by no means even halfway down their back..  To me.. "Extremely Long" meand waist length or longer..

just my penny's worth..

I was 33" when I started modeling... these girls do NOT have 33" hips... god, you look like a boy at 33"!

Ever notice the measuring tape never measures less than 5'9 nor more than 6'0? It's magic I'm telling you!

This is common on the Internet. I know of one model from TN that has been 29 for three years. One of my 2005 models that was twenty three, is now 21.

The other thing I love (read Sarcastically),  Reading a profile on someone.. model or photographer or anyone really.. They have done this.. and this.. and this.. and that.. for the last ten years or the "last Decade".. and they are only 19 now.. Sure.. you were doing all that at 9 years old.. LOL.. I just gotta laugh.. one of these was doing something "for the last Decade...".. I just had to check.. what she had been doing could have only been for 5 years.. as the software she was talking about was only released 5 yrs ago.. Amazing...

My hips are 34 so that's bigger than 33 *giggles*

Your hips better be 34" being 5'5" !
Rachel was referring to models who are 5'9" and taller and say they are 34", which in most cases is not true...I'm skinny and I'm not 34"!!

As far as the age is concerned, who cares if you can pull it off!! Age ain't nothing but a number!

I ran into someone the other day that I hadn't seen in ten years.  She said I looked exactly the same.  My look doesn't appeal to those seeking middle-age models.  So, I agree, as a model, you should market to the age group that you generally appear.

I was jsut about to say, you said you were over 40, I'd have said you were 25 today.

listen Ms 22. as soon as you get to 25 you will magically stay 25 for three years!

guaranteed!

because the frumpies who hire model want the < 25 look!

so wait for it!  it will be here!

not always....I'm 27, and proudly say it! Then again, I don't look my age from what I've been told. Some people even mistake my kids to be my brother and sister...how crazy is that?

Jay,

I'm cracking up here... for some reason, maybe hearing about your past experiences, I thought you were older than I was.  Not because you look it, in fact, I was wondering how you looked so young for your age.  LOL... oh, well...
but damn that's a good avatar photo!

Well I guess I am a little different .. or I am not smart enought to lie. LOL .. My hips are 38" and it says it in my profile.. and I am 5'7 to 5'8 kind in between and it says it in my profile. I say be proud of who you are, plus is you are lying, I am sure the photographers gonna find out when you shoot with him. Lol.. so there really doesn't seem to be a point in it to me

I'm actually 10 years older than my what I put in my profile. I ran into some old high-school acquaintances last summer who said I still looked the same. - I hadn't seen them in 27 years.  - I am sure that they where just being nice though

hehe, no way... I won't be modeling in three years.. I have already eased out of it soooooo much (in favor of acting)

Besides... I think women are sexier in thier late 20's... well, ones that take care of themselves anyway... lol
