Question
Just wondering..I know to do runway modeliong you have to be tall...anyway, do you have to be extremley tall to be a ford model..becuase im 14, thin but im only 5'5.
thanx
Ford models does represent fashion models, for which their minimum height is 5'8 for women. Since you are so young, you will undoubtedly grow taller. You may want to consider another type of modeling such as commercial print, (for which there is no height, size or age requirements) or look into an agency with a children's/under 18 division. There are modeling agency directories available in your local library, bookstore or online, and on newsstands in NYC and L.A.
Good luck to you,

I can answer questions from those looking to get into the fashion or commercial modeling industry. Specifically, the requirements, what is needed, how to find an agent, what they look for, how to avoid scams, the difference between what a commercial model does, and a fashion model, would travel/relocation be required, what is on a comp card and in your portfolio.
Experience
Both my acting and modeling resume/portfolio is available online on my website. I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and also have available my actor's demo reel and voice-over demo online. I founded both the Florida-Models.com and Florida-Actors.com websites, which provide free modeling and acting info to the public. I have moved into directing, producing and screenwriting - and have won awards for my writing. I have worked in the industry as both a model and actress in Florida, New York City and Los Angeles until October 2007. I now reside in Europe.
