 Hi Dania! 
I was just looking at the websites and I went into Boss model management.
There was a section called 'Physique' and I was wondering what that was. 
And in lifestyle, there are 'women' and 'classic women' what's the difference?
Also, there's another agency called Boss models in Australia. (if you type it into google, it comes up :) ) I'm just wondering if they are one of those agency where they have agencies around the globe. But like the logo is different... but they have the same name... one of the website looks more professional then the other one...
So... do you think they are same agencies??

 Thank you! 

Hey there, Anonymous!

Physique is a division that deals with models (male and female) with really amazing bodies. They're hired specifically for work like underwear modeling (for men), lingerie (for women), athletic gigs and other types of work where they need well built bodies. Not body builders but people with very chiseled, proportional and athletic/muscular/toned builds.

The difference between "Women" and "Classic Women" is that "Classic" means older female models. These types of models would be well into their 40s, 50s and even 60s but they have a great look that is marketable to women in their age range.

Boss Models in Australia is the same company as Boss Models in the UK. On the Boss Models Australia site, it explains that the UK office is the international/European expansion of the company, which allows them more exposure and opportunity to work with models in that market (there's also Boss Models in New York).

However, they are their own offices/businesses so they operate according to their own rules even though it's the same company name. So you are correct, it is one of those agencies that has other locations around the globe. :-)

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'

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!
