 What is your opinion on Farrah Abraham?? I know she was with models international in Beverly hills. I don't know if she's still with them. Do you think any legitimate agency will take her on? I feel no one will take her on due to the reputation she's created for herself. She's a plastic pornstar. Will she ever become a legitimate model/actress?? What are your thoughts on her modeling career or lack thereof?? 

Hey there, Anonymous!

To be quite honest, I didn't have an opinion of Farrah Abraham because until I read your comment, I had never heard of her, LOL. So I did a quick online search and got up to speed. I must say I'm not very impressed with her and given the steps she's taken and the "things" she's come to be known for publicly, I don't foresee anything really legitimate happening with her modeling career.

If anything, she'll probably get a manager (not to be confused with a modeling agency) who will continue to book her for things that'll keep her in the spotlight but it'll more than likely be short-lived.

None of us know her personally and can only go by what we've seen on television or read online but it doesn't look good in my opinion. If she does get modeling work, I doubt it will be anything super mainstream or significant unless she ends up getting a really good publicist and/or manager but only time will tell about that.

If she makes smarter moves, revamps her image and works on smoothing out her reputation, there is a possibility that she could "outgrow" her past and in the future maybe transition to a more "family friendly" version of herself that could allow her to get more legit opportunities in the entertainment industry that aren't related to porn or other adult type stuff. But if she's mainly focused on making a quick buck, I don't think much will change.

And she straight up went like "it's a dirty business , you don't know what works models have to do to get on the top " . It was my way to tell her that I want to pursue modelling but before I could even tell that to her directly , I lost all my gathered up courage and I can see all my dreams dying right infront of my eyes. Hey, Charlie! I'm sending you the BIGGEST virtual hug right now...you are not the only one who has had the wind taken right out of their sails by a parent who simply doesn't want to risk their child being disappointed, possibly taken advantage of, or wind up as an example of why people shouldn't get into modeling. I don't know your age or what the situation is but if you are under 18, it's gonna be a bit of an uphill battle to try and convince your mom since it sounds like she's already made it clear how she feels. However, that doesn'

Anonymous Wrote: Hi Dania, so kind of you to do this and support us young in the biz. I did a print spot for a well known company as a NU model last Oct. for $2500 1 year buyout. They are considering renewing for 2nd year $2500 and 3rd year $3750. I’m unrepresented atm. I am union now. I’m on hold for my first scene in a feature and I just worked a Chanel commercial (featured BG, let’s not roll out the red carpet here). But, one: I think, even with the strike, I’m moving on up, and two: isn’t 2nd year buyout rates supposed to be more? Could you help me on what an appropriate response would be or a fair counter-offer would be? Again, you rock. Thanks for helping the wide-eyed! Hey, Anonymous! You're SO welcome, thank you for being a reader and reaching out...congrats on the recent bookings you've gotten so far, that's awesome...and yeah, you are definitely moving on up. :-) As far as the buyout rate for the print job, I've been in the same scenario where the renewal rate

Anonymous Wrote: I had a model agent say " but you are not the right type for us at this moment ". What does that really mean. Hi, Anonymous! Typically, that phrase is "agency speak" for politely saying you aren't what they're looking for. If you don't meet the physical requirements stated -- for example, if it was a fashion agency you were talking to and you weren't within their stated height or size range, that would be a common response. Or it could mean that your look isn't one that they feel is currently in demand at the moment and they don't want to take the chance of signing you, only to have you sitting on roster the entire time without any traction.  While it's not a great response to receive, it is their polite way of saying no, thank you. Now that you have a definite answer from that particular agent, you can move on to submitting to others and hopefully find the one that you are the right type for. Best of luck to you!
