I want to be a glamour model, what do I need to do?

I'm a photographer (honest-it's true!) and can confirm that fashion modeling and glamor modeling have very different requirements. You don't need to be that tall to be a glamor model, but you need to be in pretty good shape, though, with very good legs and good proportions overall. Definitely not "pear-shaped". Bad skin is undesirable, although minor blemishes can be retouched out very easily these days. Huge boobs are not essential either, but you are more likely to be successful if your boobs have a very defined shape. Hair should be long, and not in a fussy style. Get some independent opinions from professional, unbiased people. Unfortunately, family and friends saying "You're beautiful and you should be a model" counts for absolutely nothing-they mean well, but have no idea what photographers and agencies are looking for. By all means try an agency, but be careful not to get ripped off-there are lots of sharks out there. Good luck.

Wow. What a career.

Your breast size sounds pretty good! So I don't think you need to worry about your breast in particular.

The physical requirements for a glamour model are not as restrictive as for fashion models with many glamour models being shorter and having fuller figures in general. Female models must have good skin and a firm body with firm breasts. The following information is for female models (*):

- Age between 13 and 24

- Height (girls 17 and younger): minimum 168 cm (5'6")

- Height (girls 18 and older): minimum 170 cm (5'8")

- Anyone under the age of 18 needs parental consent

However, the above information only apply's to SOME agencies! Not all! Bieng a glamour model isn't about size or height. Its all about the attitude, the eroticism, the mood, and sometimes nothing more than a particular look in a model's eyes. I think you could make it in. All you need to do is start auditioning for as many agencies as you can! Find an agent and start from there. If you get rejected off of one spot. Try the next one. Don't feel bad about it at all! There are tons and tons of agencies out there and the more you try. There will be an even higher chance of you getting in. Trust me. Glamour models come in so many shapes and sizes. But really its the way they carry themselves is what matters.

Goodluck.

Judging from what information I know about the model world, if you are 5' they would most likely have you do some sort of commercial work, not runway work... those girls are all like 6' tall and like A cups..haha.. but I guess agencies could be different so just give it your best shot and see where it takes you I suppose.

You need to get an agent or some sort of representation. Go into an agency with light makeup: Foundation or powder and lip gloss. Fitted top, a nice denim jean or pant and heels. I won't hurt to have a few good shots so they can see how you photograph.
