From the

Editor

“

Don’t let your ambition be tarnished by

realism, simply utilise knowledge as power and protect yourself wisely.

Follow me on Twitter @ruthiedeane Follow EM Magazine on Instagram and Twitter @everymodelmag

very year I never fail to be baffled by wondering where on earth the last one went. Time is so precious and should be used wisely. This message we endeavour to convey to our models and within the pages of EM Magazine. Yes a career in this industry is fabulous. But let us not be ignorant to the very real likelihood of it not being a long term money earner. Whilst there are a few very successful, highly paid and now famous ‘supermodels’, they really are very few and far between. Yes, you can of course make a decent living from being a full time model. But our message is, ‘never underestimate uncertainty’. There are no guarantees as a model so we always recommend pursuing your educational ability and opportunities as a priority. WhatModel will you do when your Every Magazine

time is up as a model? Can’t see that far ahead? Well go get yourself some maturity glasses - and quickly! That may sound harsh, but take it from an oldie, the reality is more so if you don’t consider the bigger picture before leaping headlong into it. It really isn’t glitz and glamour for the rest of your life. Also consider that at a young age you will change many, many times over. Your needs, wishes, desires and loves. They will all change. What you want now, and what is the most important thing in the world to you will change, it will evolve and your life will need to accommodate that. At the age of eighteen the prospect of being married or having children almost repulsed me. I had zero concept of that being part of my driving force and what little thought of it I did have seemed a lifetime away. But

in reality it really wasn’t. I’m not saying that everyone will feel that or any other specific desire, but what I am saying is what you think and feel now, will change. So keep that in mind and include variety, potential safety nets and the ability to constantly develop, improve and adapt as part of your long term life plan. If your modelling career takes off dramatically and you are being offered insane fees, long term future building investment opportunities and a pension solution in your late teens, then go for it. This will happen for some of you, for the majority, it won’t. So be sensible! Never assume you will hit the big time. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that stardom is guaranteed. Don’t let your ambition be tarnished by realism, simply utilise knowledge as power and protect yourself wisely.

”

Whilst we live in a generation of wannabes and fame for fames sake nonsense, if you haven’t the ability to see past that, then we don’t recommend modelling as the career for you. The long term implications of not understanding the potential pitfalls are far too risky for an uneducated mind. Any highly thought of industry professional will provide you with the same advice. If a future agent does not see your long term future as their concern, they are not putting you first. I can practically hear the outrage from agents across the land reading this. ‘What are you saying’? “This sort of advice costs us money”. “We need our models to drop everything and earn their keep!” How is that sort of attitude responsible? Believe me, it costs me money living by my morals. A shed load! But I stand by knowing that as a model you should never no longer be a person. Whilst this advice may never make be a millionaire, it will allow me to sleep at night. It’s all about priorities, a real conscience and keeping it real. We have as always loads of advice, guidance, tips and top picks for you this issue. Check out our mini model 2015 updates and if you are a parent thinking about

applying on behalf of your child, read our expert advice from columnists Fay Hill and Chelle Wilson-Stimson. Catch up with our female model winner Frankie and what she has been up to, along with fashion catwalk updates and of course our spring beauty guide. Treat yourself and your bathroom to some of the delicious products from LUSH handmade cosmetics. They have been a real treat in our house. The comforting smells that waft around for hours make you really believe that spring may finally be here.

Winner of mini model 2013, Maia, pictured with Fay Hill

Keeping it cool for the Kids With this season's issue focused on mini people in the limelight, I believe the quote by the Artist, Banksy to be relevant...

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of parents will do anything for their kids, except let them be themselves.â&#x20AC;? A little under two years ago, I announced a new business FayAndrea Photography www. fayandrea.co.uk Alongside my business partner, Andrea, we capture some of life's most treasured moments- pregnancy, the welcoming of a newborn into a family, christenings and weddings- we also specialise in children's editorial photography and turning your average five-year old in to a contender for Harper Beckham in the 'coolest kid' stakes. 8

Every Model Magazine

I absolutely love FayAndrea. Not just the creative aspect and photographing such beautiful faces, but mainly working with the children. It's so true that quip, 'kids say the funniest things!' Even when you're having a bad day, a littleone can walk in and brighten it up with their quirky observations. By the end of the session, they're always in tears because they don't want to go home. Frequently I get asked if they can live with me in my 'palace' and I'm spoiled with cuddles and kisses. You cannot buy that sort of love. It's unconditional. I often think if we could become adults but still maintain the innocence and imagination of a child, the World would be a better place. But with all this said, there is just one thing guaranteed to dampen my mood and that is a pushy parent.

We have all come in to contact with one. I'm not a parent myself but even before FayAndrea, I had come across them in various situations. They force their children in to a situation; live their life the way they wish they had lived it through their child. It's a dangerous thing because where does it stop? It can actually have the opposite effect on the child too. As oppose to becoming more confident, they can become withdrawn as they believe they're in some way disappointing their parent or constantly trying to live up to

this ideal created for them. It's your right as a parent to see only beauty when you look at your little creation. But when it comes to being a young model, like any type of model, good looks is only half of it. In my opinion, for child models their personality plays a huge part in their success. They need to be very confident, receptive to direction, comfortable with new people and able to concentrate. All of which qualities should come naturally and not be enforced on them by parents hovering over the photographer shouting demands; 'smile', 'don't do that silly face!', 'concentrate!'... That said, the casual bribe is totally acceptable! We always have plenty of chocolate on set! My advice to parents wanting to put their children in to modeling is to really consider the above first. Even if your child has got green eyes to die for, is s/he constantly asking you to take pictures of them or have you permanently got the lens in their face regardless? Even if they don't shy away from the camera, are they actually enjoying having their picture taken or are they just obedient? Be honest with yourself on these points without forgetting the most important thing- to consider your child's opinion. Explain to them the client's expectations of a model. That time is money and they will need to take

by Fay Hill the job seriously. That their personal time will now be full of attending castings and that they will still be expected to keep on top of school work. I get a huge amount of satisfaction out of discovering a model of any age. Just recently, I photographed the most stunning brother and sister. Rocco, the boy, had been a model as a toddler and done campaigns for Burberry but his Mum decided to take him out of it because she saw it as a pressure and wanted to let him make his own decision later on. After our shoot, he immediately got the buzz back and decided to re-sign with his old agency. Days later he signed the contract to be the face of Sisley clothing- I can't wait to see the photos! Here lies the answer to BanksyRocco's Mum let him be himself. He decided to be a model. And it's paying off. So to conclude, trial your child at home first in front of the camera. If they like it, commission a photographer whose work is recognised by leading modeling agencies. Accept the decision of your child whether or not this is something they would like to do in their spare time; submit the photos to reputable agencies listed in this issue. All that's left from me is, good luck.

Take it to the BRIDGE ahead of the curve New on the block is Bridge Models run by two savvy females in London. A curve agency representing models in the UK and internationally we think they are establishing a really high end business. As the name suggests, the ethos of the agency is to ‘bridge the gap’ between standard and plus size in the fashion industry. The plus size sector has seen some exciting changes in the last twenty years and there is still vast capacity for growth. At Bridge Models they are passionate about giving their 10

Every Model Magazine

models the right platform to be recognised for their talent, not their size. They believe that by focusing on each model’s individual strengths, they can maximise their potential. Beth tells us, “We set up Bridge Models because we feel passionately about offering curve models a high standard of representation to generate the respect and quality they deserve in the market. We are an agency that is looking to tackle the fashion world differently. We are working to bridge

the gap between standard and plus size and our tag line 'ahead of the curve' is about pushing for progress and fighting to knock down doors within the industry. We think that some of the fundamental parts of the business need changing from within and we are keen to work with designers and even students to change the imprint from the get go”. Having signed some top talent already Bridge tell us that their models are experiencing a different type of agency from them whereby personal marketing and management is at the forefront. They say that it is becoming fashionable to be curvy and they hope that

alongside this women are feeling more confident and happy in their own skin. Bridge are also keen to continue their work with Body Gossip, a fantastic charity that promotes body confidence. With lots of exciting projects in the pipeline, including teaming up with Curvy Kate's 2015 competition to offer the winner a modelling contract. Curvy Kate is the perfect example of a brand that listens to its customers and gives women the opportunity to feel great about their bodies and positive about their curves in lingerie.

Top tips

for tiny tots...

EM Columnist Chelley Wilson-Stimson, is a mother of three children, a former model and now a highly respected photographer. As our official Mini Model 2015 photographer we asked her to offer some sound advice for our applicants and finalists in this year’s child model search.

When you photograph children you have to ensure you have a number of elements ready and prepared prior to the shoot. Making any model feel comfortable is so important. A worried, scared or shy child can be very hard to work with. Therefore we spend time talking to them, understand what they like to do, their favourite games, simply learning about them is when we start to see their character. If you miss their character then 12

“A worried, scared or shy

words by Chelley Wilson-Stimson Being a photographer brings great joy. I get to see happy couples in love, families together, great locations, awesome advertising campaigns and be involved with some truly aspiring projects.

the photographer has a set brief to work to and usually a limited time frame to get the images right. Still, when working on a styled shoot we will try to be as candid as we can to prevent boring them waiting around too much.

child can be you’ll miss the shot you need, a child’s character will usually make the perfect image. On explaining what we do and why, we have found over the years this helps the children relate to us and understand why they are there. We often let the children we shoot come and look at the photos or “push the button” and take a photo of someone or something else so they can really get a feel of how important they are in these photos. Child photography can be candid or styled. On a Candid shoot we let them be themselves and capture it quickly as their face changes throughout the day. Time is essential as a tired child will give you nothing. A styled shoot is a different being,

very hard to work with.” We have a keyword trick that we use for the child to stop and look at the camera. This technique has enabled us to capture some amazing looks. It can be anything from their name to simply

“Pause”. This keyword is followed with a glance from the child which breaks to the biggest of smiles. Two amazing looks, so very different but seconds apart and very natural. We try to get down to their level – it’s usually a good idea as it makes them feel more relaxed and prevents a “bobble head” look of work, we don’t want all the shots of the child looking up at you. When shooting close up, focussing on the eyes is best. Seeing deep into a child’s crisp eyes can be the difference between feeling the emotion and just seeing a photo so at times we need to get in real close to “feel” the image! The setting or scene is paramount to be right for child photography. Be this a set for a campaign or a location for a family portrait. The scene needs to allow the child or children to be themselves and show that character that they have inside. Ensure the light is right, the setting is fun and vibrant or interesting for them to see. Older children will thrive on being the centre of attention, if it’s what they want, so play on this and use the setting to ensure they feel

a sense of significance. Be aware of what makes your child tick. So, that’s how we photograph children but what do the children need to know before they attend a set or go on location for an advertising campaign?

“ Be good, but don’t be boring.” Be good! But not boring! (We don’t want much do we?) It’s really important that the child is able to behave themselves and follow instructions, this goes for attending castings and attending Every Model Magazine

All images ©Wilson White Photography model bookings. If a child attends a shoot and is having a difficult time settling in then sometimes the shoot will be cancelled. A majority of the time a substitute child will be called in to reshoot leaving the first child with a negative impression and experience. The child needs to be able to concentrate and have the confidence to “perform” as if acting. If your child becomes shy or wishes to leave the set this will cause problems

“ Your child does need to be able to entertain themselves ” for the photographer and other crew, it prolongs the shoot and any feedback to your agent will not be a good. You will find your child slowly receives less and less bookings as many casting agents talk together and a reputation will spread quickly. Your child does need to be able to entertain themselves. A photoshoot can be time consuming and there can be a lot of waiting around before he or she will be able to shine. Be prepared on sets by taking toys or devices to keep them occupied and prevent boredom setting in 14

before they have even started work. For every shoot we require a child to be licensed to work. Normally you need to live within the city you are needed to work in as child licensing frowns upon young children missing too much school for modelling work. The company booking you should obtain a license, but there are a number of items you will need to provide to help the licensing process. Any license needs to be obtained 21 days prior to the booking, so being organised is really important. You will also need a doctor to sign your child off as healthy and fit to attend, plus agreement of release from the child’s school if they are of child age. Your local authority may or may not grant the permission to take part in the shoot. There are some variations to the rules for example during school holidays etc but it is always best to be prepared to work. With booking a baby for work it is normal practice to book 1, 2 or even 3 babies that look the same. This is because babies are not controllable and we have to work with them entirely. 2 -3 babies will be cast and attend the booking together so as one might cry or fall asleep the second baby can take

over. So don’t be alarmed if you attend a booking and your baby is not the only one on set.

“ Being a child model brings great fun, some amazing memories and tear sheets of work. It can pay well too. Be prepared to work with your photographers and form good relationships for a long career in child modelling. For the photographer it is great to see children evolve and they are good fun to work with. A happy fun shoot always leaves me smiling at the end of the day. ” Every Model Magazine

lucky and also very proud to have won the competition already but seeing the shots from the photo shoot all come together with the diary entry and my face on the cover highlighted how very special winning this competition was for me. I have been going to castings for various different things, via EMG and also Model Union, who I have been signed with through by EMG. Going to castings is usually quite a quick process but the fast pace of the industry excites me. The people whom I have dealt with have all been accommodating and friendly, especially when they find out I lack experience that other models may already have. My manager, Ruth and I did a photoshoot over Christmas to help build my portfolio and help me gain further confidence. We shot a variety of different looks, some even out in the snow

which was fun, but very cold! Although modelling is now a part of my life I do take my studies very seriously. I am a philosophy student at Newcastle and enjoy my course thoroughly and want to thrive within my degree. EMG understand that my studies come first and are very flexible. If I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a casting because of a deadline or something else of equal importance they are very understanding and acknowledge that getting my degree is essential to my future. I am looking forward to attending more castings and being selected for even more jobs over the coming months. I know that with my ongoing training at EMG and subsequent confidence building that my career as a model will progress and I hope to share more of that with you next time. Every Model Magazine

THE AGE OF BEAUTY As a nation with an ageing population, the 50+ female demographic makes up 44% of UK inhabitants. At Paul Mitchell they believe that beauty is ageless; focusing on beautiful, expensive-looking hair, they are honouring a forgotten demographic with their Little Black Dress collection. Their fabulous models, Carrelyn, Heather and Lisa are all over the age of 40, the median age of women in the UK at the moment and *with 80% of the nation’s wealth held by the over 50s, this age group is often under-represented, not only in the media, but also by the beauty industry as a whole. The Paul Mitchell team utilised the anti-ageing properties of the Awapuhi Wild Ginger collection to create these stunning styles. “It’s simply nonsensical that the women who spend the most on beauty are massively under-represented within beauty imagery. We wanted to address this and create beautiful images on women over 40, with hair and make-up that not only looks luxurious and expensive, but is also wearable and replicable. Imagery should inspire, and not alienate which can often be the case.” Awapuhi Wild Ginger is a luxurious capsule collection that addresses issues associated with ageing hair and does what it says on the bottle. Why should we take a prescriptive approach and dictate which hairstyles suit what age? It’s about what makes you feel and look amazing surely, and we think these images reflect just that. All looks were prepped by cleansing and conditioning with Awapuhi Wild Ginger Moisturizing Lather Shampoo and Keratin Cream Rinse. Nigel Barnes, Creative Director for the ‘Little Black Dress collection’ wanted to produce a beautiful but believable collection for women over 40. With this in mind they didn’t retouch any of the models faces.

“We think they are beautiful just the way they are”.

Online hair and beauty retailer Hairtrade.com has picked out some of the worst hair extensions culprits including the likes of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera. Whilst some of the stars have had a famous love hate relationship with these tacky tresses, surprisingly some more stylish celebs like Beyoncé and Victoria have some hair extension skeletons hiding in their closet.

A spokesperson from Hairtrade.com said: “We’ve all got photos that we look back on and say what was I thinking? So it’s reassuring to know that no matter how perfect these celebs seem, they’ve had their share of hair care faux pas too.

Pamela’s new chic pixie cut makeover is a far cry from her previous history with hair extensions. With literally hair-raising roots and a clearly visible scalp, the model turned actress has seen some bad hair days. If she decides to clip in some extensions again, she Baywatch out for these mistakes again.

Thankfully Katie Price has been taking better care of her hair more recently but the toll of her extensions on her scalp was obvious when she was wearing them everyday.

Even the self-proclaimed flawless Queen B doesn’t always get it right. Her extra long braided hair extensions looked straggly and are, quite frankly, a hazard when closing car doors. We much prefer the singer’s twotoned bob look with the help of some more natural looking hair extensions.

The length of the Gossip Girl star’s hair extensions was astronomical – were they hair extensions attached to hair extensions? This nexus of hair needs to stop.

Recently Britney has been looking great in preparation for her Piece of Me tour in Vegas but no one can forget those dodgy hair extensions of the early 00’s. She is definitely not that innocent of wearing hair extensions. Nothing can beat the nest of tendrils and visible scalp nightmares she’s had in the past. If you are considering getting hair extensions, here’s a prime example of what not to do.

Ombre and dip dye looks are a great way to go but Nicole Richie got the wrong idea with her hair extensions. Back in the early 00’s she sported some questionable random brown hair extensions mixed with her trademark blonde style. If you want have two tones in your hair extensions, pick colours that blend more naturally together to avoid gappy styling.

I focus solely on hair extensions and have a salon based in Hassocks, Sussex. I see first hand the desires of clients wanting to achieve glamorous long, glossy hair instantly. Enhancing our own hair through adding extensions can not only result in long luscious hair in a matter of hours it also adds volume and can quite often be a source of renewed confidence. The desire for long hair is a part of our culture along with the association of femininity and old school glamour. There is nothing more satisfying than transforming one of my clients and creating their dream look. Nowadays with our stressful and fast paced lives we quite

often neglect our hair and tend to over style. I have noticed that some women struggle to grow their hair past a certain length and that is where hair extensions can come to the rescue. I pride myself with my attention to detail, an ability to fit perfectly blended extensions combined with exact colour matching. I focus on the care of a clients own natural hair and extensions before, during and after any fitting. My aim is always to achieve healthy, happy hair. Having hair extensions fitted can benefit some people in a number of ways. For many of my clients I

have been able to create a dream hairstyle that would have taken years of natural hair growth to create. I have seen self-esteem soar from using extensions to thicken natural hair and confidence grow by using them to creating an ultra glam look. Extensions can give you lovely luscious long hair with the flexibility to try new hairstyles and can easily be removed and replaced when you want to change your look. They can be used to give you extra thickness and volume everyday and all day long without having to rely on products. I have found more and more models becoming clients for bookings and castings as they often have to change their look in such a highly competitive industry. If you want to experiment with colour, you can try an ombre, dip dye or highlights as well as different shapes and styles. All without having to Every Model Magazine

dye or ruin your own natural hair. This flexibility is fantastic for women of all ages. They are perfect for special occasions such as weddings, birthdays or holidays for that wow factor and as the extensions are cared for and treated much like your own

hair they are easy to maintain. It is very important that the negative association with extensions is broken and reputable companies like mine who care about their clients can demonstrate the correct and non-damaging techniques on offer nowadays. Hair extensions have changed so much over the years and thankfully there are many options to choose from. Some of the most popular on the market are hot fusion bonds and cold fusion (which both use keratin resin) along with micro rings, nano rings and copper tubes (these methods use copper rings to secure the extensions in place). With these methods being correctly fitted there will be no damage 44

Every Model Magazine

“ I prefer to use the no glue and no heat option of copper tubes. ” to your own natural hair. I prefer to use the no glue and no heat option of copper tubes such as my own ‘Smart

Locks’ as I have found over the years that this is the safest and most discreet way to lengthen and thicken your hair without causing damage. I am constantly on the hair extension pulse knowing the latest methods, brands and styles. It’s a fast moving and demanding industry and it is vital as a specialist that I know and understand every aspect. When deciding to have hair extensions fitted its important to understand your own natural hair and its limitations. Everyone’s hair is different and will directly affect your fitting. A professional extensionist will assess your hair taking into account its health, how thick it is, if there is any damage from colouring, bleaching or heat and any medical

issues. These factors will directly affect your suitability for having extensions fitted and how many. These elements are extremely important as fitting extensions to the wrong client can cause damage. Realistically someone who has thin hair may not be suitable for a full head of extensions but this does not mean that you cannot create a stunning look – simply that you may not need as many extensions as someone with thick hair. I have in my professional experience had to refuse to fit extensions to some clients who were not suitable for them. Whilst this was upsetting for the clients this was to avoid causing any damage to the natural hair. Be honest with your extensionist and ensure they are assessing your hair prior to any fitting. If you’ve decided to have hair extensions fitted there are certain things to consider when finding someone to fit them; Professionalism, experience and reviews. These are the three key areas that I would look at when deciding on who touches your hair. Ensure you find a qualified specialist with experience of fitting hair extensions and preferably someone who has knowledge on a variety of methods. Other considerations when choosing a professional is if they have any other

qualifications that compliment fitting hair extensions. For example, I also have qualifications in scalp and hair disorders, I am qualified in teaching the fitting of hair extensions and have a vast product knowledge. A strong passion always helps and I am very much so. This is my area of focus and is reflected in my work and hundreds of happy returning clients. Hair extensions have often been seen as an expensive indulgence, whilst you can pay thousands for a set of extensions there are more affordable options that offer excellent hair. Prices will vary and if you do your research it can be affordable. However if it seems too good to be true it probably is. Be aware of the type of hair you are having and ensure you know what you are being fitted with. Some sources of hair are far superior to others. There are various options of hair. The most commonly fitted are Russian, European and Indian hair. Russian hair is some of highest quality and is a huge favourite with European women as it is the closest match to most hair types due to its fine texture. Russian hair generally commands the highest price. European hair is very

Every Model Magazine

similar to Russian hair and is a good choice and can be a more affordable option over Russian hair. Indian hair is extremely popular and can give a more natural look; the hair is thick although not too heavy but isn’t suitable for everyone, as it may not blend naturally with some thinner hair types due its thicker texture. Indian hair is widely fitted and is an affordable option. Another type available is Brazilian hair which is hard wearing and also has the same thick texture as Indian hair but would not be suited to all hair types, such as extremely fine hair. Malaysian and Mongolian hair is a good choice for fine hair, as it is a light density and suited for most European hair types. Brazilian, Malaysian and Mongolian hair is not as widely available but is in a similar price range as Indian and European hair. Finally Chinese hair is easily and readily available cheaply, this hair type does not suit European hair types well and should be avoided. Often cheap extension prices may be due to Chinese hair being offered. If you have never had hair extensions but always dreamed of having long flowing hair now is a great time try them. Ensure you do your research on your extensionist, the method they advise you to have and

what hair you are being fitted with. Ensure you look after your extensions and you will have eye catching stunning long hair. For more information check out my Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages or my website www.smarthairextensions.co.uk

SHAPE With model Stephanie Grao

Modelling had always been my biggest dream since I was little. I remember wishing that one day I could do what these gorgeous and apparently care-free women could do. Little did I know how much hard work and determination it took to actually get where they were. People who are not in the industry have no idea about the mental, as well as physical, strength successful models have to conjure. We have to become thick-skinned due to constant criticism and rejection, battle and win our own self-doubts and comparisons, and constantly motivate ourselves to compete at endless castings, workout and eat well. To be a successful model you need to be healthy and in great shape as you must be the best version of yourself possible to get into or continue working in the market you`re best suited for whether

its fashion, commercial or plus size modelling. To be honest when I began modelling I was quite slim and my new agency gave me considerable guidance but not in regards to my physical appearance. As I began attending castings, I would wait to be interviewed with several other models in the room from different agencies. Most of them, including myself, would sit quietly and coyly glance at one another, checking out the competition for the job. Later I learnt that ignoring other models and focusing on what I was going to say at the interview was a much better way to exude confidence. I had body image confidence and was used to my childlike metabolism so when I began university I almost never went to the gym and would eat everything my heart desired including a lot of crisps, red meat and fizzy drinks on a daily basis. Like many naturally slim people I thought that since I looked good there was really no need to workout or eat well. At university, I would typically have fatty food at the cafeteria and crisps, chocolate and lattes in between classes. Most students would also have the same unhealthy eating habits so it was very easy to fall into the same pattern. However, if you`re a model and a student you need to realise that you`re different to most

students. Unlike you, other students do not have the same modelling aspirations and are not trying to capitalise on their physical appearance. Take in healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables and a healthy lunch if it is not provided. That

way it will be much easier to resist temptation as your belly starts rumbling during the day. As I was always busy with modelling and studying, I would find it too tiresome to go to the gym and I simply wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t willing to put in the extra effort. It is often the case that when you finally get home after a long day, you may find it almost impossible

to set off again for the gym. Sometimes, it may be easier to go the gym nearest to where you study, if there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one at your university, rather than closest to your home. That way if you`ve got time in between studying you can get in a good workout. If you`re at school, make good use of your physical education classes and if possible do some physical extra-curricular activities or play a sport you enjoy by getting on the school`s team. At the end of my academic year my agency surprised me with some exciting news. They told me that a top overseas agency was interested in representing me in Asia and asked me if I would be interested in working abroad during my three month school break. I was thrilled and told them that I would be delighted to work overseas. I sent in some basic snapshots, an introductory video and a catwalk video as requested. However, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise that as time went on, my once fast metabolism that had been so good to me, was starting to slow down and that I had gained weight and body fat especially around my stomach and thighs area. Strangely, I had been oblivious to my change in appearance as school work piled up. My agency told me that they had liked my look but for the Asian market I would have to be a lot more toned and would need to lose a large amount of fat from my stomach and hips,

to only one small portion a day, red meat to only once a week, and eat plenty of lean meat such as chicken and fish, have plenty of vegetables and fruit and only have low-fat foods and only dairy made from skimmed milk. I was worried about not being able to go through with it but the prospect of feeling healthy, looking great and working in an exotic country was enough motivation for me to commit to the radical lifestyle change required.

over five centimetres from each area, and if I would be willing and able to do that they would take me on. At first I felt hurt by what they had said but as I looked at the material I had sent in I could see that they had a point. I knew that if I accepted the challenge I would have to work extremely hard to get into shape by the end of the term, which was in less than two months time, while studying for my end of year exams. I told my agency that I wanted the contract and was going to work hard to get it. Deep down I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to achieve those goals but I told myself that I had to be in shape and develop healthy habits regardless of whether or not I would work abroad. I started by going to the gym. There were so many machines and I didn’t know which was effective so I spoke to one of the personal trainers and 50

Every Model Magazine

told him about my fitness goals. He told me it would be possible to achieve my objective but would require a lot of hard work. He helped me come up with a regime which included an hour of stomach, legs and bum exercises to create muscle and tone up and half an hour of cardio to burn calories and lose weight which included fifteen minutes running and the other fifteen exercising on the step- up machine. If this was to be effective by my time frame I would have to carry out the routine six times a week. I was shocked to say the least while he talked about all of this so naturally. He then asked me about my diet. After I told him about what I typically had during the day, he said that for the workout to be effective and speed up the toning process I would have to cut out all processed food and drinks, cut down on carbohydrates

My daily routine for the next two months changed drastically. Since it was exam period, all students were let off from university for independent study until our exams. I would go to bed early and wake up early to have time to study and workout. For breakfast I would have some fruit with toast, coffee with skimmed milk and juice. For lunch and dinner, I would have fish or chicken with vegetables and during my study breaks I would snack on fruit or low-fat yoghurts. After waiting an hour after lunch, I would hit the gym and carry out the one and a half hour routine. The first week didn’t go as well as I had hoped and I felt disappointed with myself. I would become nauseous when I would do cardio exercise and after my legs would hurt so much that I wouldn’t be able to exercise the next day. However, that was a completely normal reaction for someone not

used to exercise so if you`re starting out and your workout feels extremely tiresome just remember it will get easier as you do it regularly. If you become tired during the day, try having green tea, as a natural alternative to coffee to keep you going and detox tea at the end of the day which helps to get rid of unnecessary liquid in your body making you less bloated. Balanced diets are always better than quick fix diets. They are healthy and therefore more sustainable over a long period of time. Whereas with short term diets, as soon as you stop adhering to them, you will likely put on weight again. Since getting into shape, I still follow the same diet as my body has been programed to enjoy healthy food and I rarely crave processed food. To make your diet work don’t put too much psychological or physical pressure on yourself as our body does not like having rules placed upon it. You should never completely prohibit a type of food you enjoy as at first, you may successfully be able to reject that food, however, over time you may become annoyed at the fact that you cannot have that food and naturally crave it much more than if you didn’t completely forbid yourself from having it. You should think along the lines of, “I can have this if I want but I`m choosing not to” and if you do eat what you were not supposed to do not be

hard on yourself. Sometimes you need to give in to your body`s wants and not feel guilty about it. When I was getting back into shape, I would still sometimes have a piece of chocolate or a packet of crisps. Your body deserves a little break. Your diet should be a guideline as to what you should eat but you don’t have to follow it religiously- leave a bit of leeway for those days when you are feeling too tired to cook a healthy meal or have been running about the whole day. After one and a half months of diet and daily exercise, not only did I see a huge difference in my body but I also felt much happier and had a lot more energy during the day. As I measured my hips and waist, I was thrilled to find that I had lost over five centimetres in both regions and sent my new material and measurements in to my agency. Soon after, I received the wonderful news that the overseas agency had signed me on for a three month contract abroad. All the hard work and sacrifice had paid off. Before you start a workout regime, come up with a realistic goal. I managed to get into shape by trying to be the best version of myself and aiming to lose a few centimetres here and there instead of imposing impossible demands on myself. If you are too hard on yourself you will end up feeling disappointed and may end up with lower

self -esteem and a defeatist attitude. I thought to myself that if I managed to get to those ideal measurements then that would be great but that I would not define my goal and success as a number. Your body and mind have to work harmoniously together. Your weight loss cannot be a result of your mind constantly telling your body that it is not good enough and has to be such and such size and weight. That is the kind of attitude that not only leads to psychological and emotional strain, destructive habits and bad health, but also if you neglect food groups or eat too little you will harm your appearance in the long-run as your skin and hair will suffer. Remember that beauty is often a result of leading a healthy lifestyle. Nothing is more important than your health. Modelling is wonderful but you are more important than any job or contract can ever be, so always put your well-being in first place.

Every Model Magazine

MIND YOUR MANNERS

“be the best version of yourself, always” often do the wrong thing. Never assume anything. This is a good life skill to hold regardless of the workplace. An assuming attitude is dangerous. By all means use initiative, but never based on assumption. There are a number of things that you should do if you want to be seen as a valuable employee or work colleague...

Workplaces can differ in every sense, from dress codes to the informalities of how people interact with each other, the protocol of the accepted etiquette will vary both from industry to industry and also between companies involved in the same industry themselves. The modelling industry is far from different. Just because you don’t wear a uniform or work a standard 9-5 day, does not mean your manners should be any different! For example, a factory environment may adopt a far less formal approach than maybe a law firm would, but probably the most important aspect to remember is that just because you work within a particular industry, you shouldn’t assume that what was acceptable within one company you’ve worked for previously will be just the same if you move to another company or agent. 52

Every Model Magazine

Therefore always err on the side of caution and be polite at all times. Even if others do not appear so. Often, it’s a simple matter of using your common sense and behaving in a manner that shows courtesy and respect for others but there are numerous things that you should obviously not get involved with or encourage. Here’s a list of some examples of behaviour that is often frowned upon and even not tolerated by most companies, regardless of type. Disregarding these, it can often, at best, make you unpopular or, at worst, might even get you the sack. Things you shouldn’t do at work are...

Engage in idle gossip about other colleagues or your boss or ‘bad mouth’ them. Don’t get involved in any banter which might have sexual or rude overtones. Be modest and don’t bang on about any of your previous achievements or be an attention seeker. Don’t try to court favour with your boss or immediate supervisors. Just doing your job in the best way you can is the most productive way of impressing those higher up the ladder than you. Don’t assume something is acceptable practice in either conversations you might have or actions you might consider taking. A good example of this is assuming that it’s OK to leave your mobile phone on silent or vibrate, yet still respond to text messages, for example. Establish the position on that and other things you’re not sure about first such as eating at work, which is another good example where people

Being respectful and courteous towards others regardless of whether you like a particular person. Keep your voice volume at an acceptable level. A loud voice which is noticeable can not only be counterproductive for others who are trying to get on with their work but can be extremely annoying too. Offer to help others if there’s anything you might be able to do to assist them and make their job easier if you’ve time or the opportunity. Dress appropriately at all times If you are a model ALWAYS take your book to EVERY casting and job you attend. Make sure you understand the rules surrounding e-mail etiquette and the use of your mobile phone. Remember you’re being paid to work so keep idle chit-chat and other things that may take your attention away from what you’ve been employed to do.

These are just simple dos and don’ts which reflect general workplace etiquette in most workplaces and are often as much about using your own common sense as anything else. However, this entire website contains more specific articles which may be of more relevance to a particular situation you’re faced with at work in terms of what you should and shouldn’t be doing or saying.
