Sometimes being a model is hard. Having to deal with a lot of rejection is something all models deal with. I always say for every yes I get 4 or 5 no’s. Some weeks are great and you win something and other weeks you lose everything you tried for. It’s not easy. I don’t know if I am good at dealing with it yet. The reality is there are a lot of models trying for the same positions, same opportunities, that you are. i try to remind myself that me, the person wasn’t rejected, thats it is just an avatar. It’s hard to never know why. There can be all kinds of reasons. They might not like red-heads for example, they didnt like your walk or you are in a group they dislike or they don’t like your outfit. But for all the no’s that we get, when you do get that one yes it somehow makes it all worth it. Plus, I can’t pass up a challenge or opportunity. I feel to get ahead as a model you need drive and ambition as well as resolve, that no matter how often you get told no, you keep trying.

ooh I want that
Well today we found out that the 7 finalists of the MRI competition get a professional video model portfolio. That would just be awesome to win. Imagine the surprise when asked for my portfolio if I had a video portfolio to give. A very valuable prize. Although just being one of the finalists would be great in itself. When I think of what being refined means; great style,polished,professional, pleasant attitude, fashionable, I feel I have these traits. I do my best to always look put together and stylish. Like I said in previous posts I feel looking my best at all times is important. Finding photographers to do a normal portfolio of pictures has proven problematic for me because I’m very picky and don’t care for sloppy,bad pictures. To have the opportunity for a quality video portfolio would be the best thing ever for me. To me being refined means having quality work done that makes you look your best. This prize offers that.
The MRI competition is being done by the MPI agency. Check out the website for MPI. It is just full of great information.http://modelpages.net/
