[@sscot720]

I feel bad for the girl(s) standing right next to them who they don't pick.. jeez

[@user-ey5om1td2q]

i felt the same but modeling isn't a dream it's a job and it's a hard job not just fun and making faces to the camre. there is a lot of compatition and recactions..it's not just being pretty.

[@bodyofhope]

I've been approached a few times when I'm with friends and I think it's so rude. They can at least pull you aside, not exclude your friend.

[@no-ep1yo]

That’s what I was thinking💀

[@no-ep1yo]

@@bodyofhope right? Like bruh

[@smartypants3919]

Feelings arent an argument

[@joeys4289]

Something just feels sad about the whole thing.

[@nooralahmar9207]

Maybe not I agree

[@ramenetafraise5835]

"Legs for dayzzzzz" 😂😂

[@galannmarie]

This couple reminds me of the couple from the musical Annie that sing "Easy Street"

[@nekoii22]

I remember being chased by one at the mall but I'm 5'3 so Idk why she approached me lol She gave me a card and everything but I threw it away

[@ursugarmama2957]

good job haha

[@minibabybelle112]

Esperanza Alvarado lollll I remember when I was about 10, I got approached three different times to do like child acting work but my mom never let me. lmao

[@kibikino7553]

Esperanza Alvarado same

[@kelliintexas3575]

these two need a reality show!

[@taylorsmith777]

No, no they don't!!!!

[@na0rios]

They need one so I can scream at them and get triggered

[@briannamiagymnasts6408]

Kelli In Texas literally lol

[@mamaraah2578]

All these poor young girls. Desperate for attention 🙄

[@johansunnberg3291]

The young farm boy is so humble ❤️ it

[@danielaaraujo4493]

I like how they don't charge unless you actually make it

[@imalrockme]

Yes, honest and legitimate agents - performers, athletes, models - go by that rule.

[@shreyaputhran7646]

Models have an amazing life until they have to wait in the airport for hours.......or face criticism from their agents. Overall people coming from rich or famous families are given more preference 80% of the time and models which have come from different family backgrounds, and who want to make it big, have to create tactics to stay in the limelight, otherwise the Jenner’s, hadid’s and gerber’s would outrun them

[@aelinorholloway3669]

Very true, plus the way some of the agents fixate on just one particular model is super dodgy, it's all well and good if it's consentual and all, but having it get to the extent where, your being favoured over others, and pressured into doing things your uncomfortable with...

[@janikb3538]

As someone who was in the modeling industry: it’s hell.

[@valentiadesuzia4363]

Lmao those scouts came up to me at the mall and started chasing me. Then they asked me how tall I am, and I said 5'6 and then the woman was like "oh that's a shame, we're model scouts and you're beautiful, you really do have the look. If you were taller you could be a model" Then I was like "oh but I'm only 13 so I'm gonna grow" and they were like "what? You look like an adult" and I was like oops sorry and then they gave me a card but I don't wanna be an anorexic model so I never contacted them lol. I'm 16 now and I'm 5'11. :)

[@shenahpark1011]

good for u

[@brina33007]

Valentia De'Suzia There are many types of models... Most just like healthy looks.

[@halos.1]

+Valentia De'Suzia I got scouted by them as well about a year ago, never called them though hahaha

[@transylvaniavampire]

Valentia De'Suzia not all Models are anorexic it's an easy way to make money and you can stop at an early age after you've made a name for yourself and start your own business by reinvesting that money. You lost your chance because of your preconceived ideas. Someone else is going to seize it don't worry 😉

[@shreyaputhran7646]

Proud of you well done!

[@kibikino7553]

I'm guessing their looking for someone who stands out amongst the crowd, someone who has different yet unique features and isn't just an average face...

[@QuadrantBottomHalf]

Go for your dream but dropping out of school and quitting jobs is not good. Have a plan b. The girl working outside need to eat.

[@chocolatier5651]

Why doesn't anyone come to Michigan? We have like, NO modeling opportunities here and it's really hard to get a start. And the people here are so gorgeous and kind. Oh yeah, a lot of the women are short. :/

[@Nairuulagch]

No ice cream, no cake, no hot dog modeling is hell on earth!! XD

[@Beelzebubby91]

I'll model for them!!!! I would love to do this

[@BB-co9jn]

Lol at the Chiefs stadium. How ironic that the scouts meet none of the modeling criteria themselves.

[@ericabrown4208]

Kinda sucks that you have to be a certain height

[@AlexGervacio33]

These stories are inspiring for sure

[@jessicaventura8298]

please scout here in the Philippines 😭

[@JaneArterberry]

I'm 13 and 5'7"...do I have hope??

[@JaneArterberry]

+Eric Rawr I think I might work then! :D

[@SoyuzBot]

how about looks?

[@muffin6369]

She really needs to be at least 5'8" UNLESS she is like a Kate Moss who IS 5'7" but SHE is Kate Moss. On the runway a girl that's shorter doesn't match the other girls height wise. Unless she has exceptional height below 5'8" will be a problem.

[@muffin6369]

Good point! That puberty thing can really add some inches.

[@kaimiller5608]

Jane Arterberry I am 11 and 5'7

[@tianabrown3074]

For discovering so many people who go on to have big careers I wonder why they're not more successful than they are.

[@karenhuang1112]

lol i never see them scout asian models

[@no-ep1yo]

Oh they do. TRUST me. And not everything is about race or ethnicity, they haven’t scouted black people bur we aren’t complaining. It just depends on the population.

[@skygates8526]

COME TO DENVER,CO

[@andrewanane9715]

Awesome! Aww

[@amayarae2092]

This is my DREAM

[@sbochev]

OhSoAmaya is

[@lloran7]

And then the potential meaningful productive life of young to become great and make a difference in this world are wasted...

[@vihaze6725]

+WoodlandElves Not true. Modelling has put many people through college - and there are plenty of models who have impressive degrees. There are also a lot of models who do humanitarian work. Modelling does not equal stupidity.

[@kenmakozume2387]

HISSSSSSSS

[@purpleloover]

the dad was bald, so sad if he goes bald early too :(

[@lgal56]

Jochebed Lael D. Huang male pattern baldness isn't inherited from father's so the dad's hair says little about his hair

[@jaywilliamson3991]

He’s actually balding pretty bad now

[@123456jik]

I’m 19 and I’m 5’2 ugh so sad

[@gdeec]

Elijah is so cute. Good luck for the future.

[@Recubs]

This is sickening and disgusting. That's one of the reasons why lots of girls are starving themselves to death. Something needs to change

[@TheMabes69]

Hazel: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, GIRL AND GET A BURGER!!!! STAY ON THE FARM, HAVE A NORMAL LIFE AND DON'T LET 300 LBS FREAKS DICTATE YOUR BEAUTY GIRL! RUN HAZEL RUN!

[@kimiakaidan]

3:40 he's so headass

[@neelsn6403]

People in Midwest r really beautiful super white and pure western people. no fucking multiculturalism

[@avaava4310]

When I was 8 I was very cute slot of these people asked my mom if I have the permission to model they wanted me for children cloths my mom wants me to be normal teen

[@Vampireknight286]

Creepy and unsettling

[@Nectarine333]

LITERALLY 💯

[@purplesassygirl]

I wonder do they do commercial modeling? i would love to send my picture to them

[@greysonunlucky1876]

Am I the only one that finds this very interesting

[@hellofellas5661]

I have talent to be a model scout...

[@RR-ik3kg]

Sheep, pshhh. They are beauti-full!

[@lizamckinley7261]

There are so many girls like this in Madison Wisconsin, it's ridiculous

[@iamgem]

I know right? Tall, white, skinny, blonde? Just go downtown and you'll see them everywhere to the point where it's too common to look at.

[@kelliintexas3575]

it's Swedish decent lol

[@StuckInThe80ssss]

iamgem which I don't get because they constantly throw out the word unique or exotic lol

[@kaityv1775]

I know!

[@SFVone]

Awesome story

[@johnandrew1727]

Really creepy how they talk to some random girl!

[@themrsnakebitee]

is it creepy too when a store employee talks to you? unless you’re not “some random” person

[@Anne_Patel]

Beautiful couple. Good luck to them

[@totoro9009]

Why is this sad

[@somebodypiano6191]

They always choose the extremely slim girls with no butt...when are they going to choose girls with big butts, wide hips, and an average body fat percentage stomach? All these models represent a small portion of the population. Also, beauty comes in different shapes and sizes.

[@ariiukisan2811]

Somebody Piano it doesn't matter because they're here to make money and make you think that you look good in their clothes. No one would ever look twice at you if you look like that

[@rosegagliano967]

Hey guess what I'm 12 and 5 8" can I be scouted already 😂

[@bruhmoment2636]

Oh dang and I thought I was tall

[@g0d5m15t4k3]

Uh, high fashion modeling requires you to be a walking clothes hanger. Literally are you a tall, thin, wire hanger who can walk in heels? You're in. Catalog modeling has different needs. Hair modeling. Hand modeling. All different modeling has different needs. / shrug

[@thompson5085]

Hey I have muscles, am chiseled, have a unique personality and have a definite swimmers body (I am a swimmer)can I be a model? No because I'm a girl with that body. It sucks knowing that you could model ... if you were the other gender.

[@detert08]

Where are the plus girls?!

[@jackmcg8310]

Emmy Nicole fat girls are a small market not many people like fat chicks

[@lillys7438]

On the wall with all the names of models they have scouted, there was a plus size group of girls they have scouted.

[@llnn0011]

Imagine not having to try to be successful

[@SimplyJennel]

Why am I so short

[@peo8004]

Why is it they always found model in mall? Quiet cliche is not it? So typical

[@roseandrade544]

Idk I think it's cool and I'd love to Model but I'm barely 5'1 and I'm a potato 😅 I feel like being really tall and skinny are important qualities that I lack . Rip

[@whymustielaine9640]

There are more branches of modelling now, like petite, you might be able to do that if you have the face?

[@shreyaputhran7646]

You don’t have to be a model to feel good about yourself........there so many other things that can boost your confidence, you just have to believe in yourself

[@osky529]

Aliyah needs to fix his teeth and hairline wasn't sold on him The girl really had nice legs

[@veevee4261]

creeps

[@angelyserenae3091]

2

[@160n]

fml

[@johansunnberg3291]

They seem nice 👍

[@carsonl2278]

First

[@kenzaeljaoui7217]

Taylor swift is an artist she's not here to model

[@haley5192]

But those TEETH

[@leyanayefremenkov]

They also didn't say that theirs a price tag that comes with modeling. To get higher, you have to have sex with major important people.

[@nahijea4559]

The black dude he ain't see beauty in his own race !!! Smh

[@Safarose.]

all these "models" are not good looking at all.

[@Meredith.A]

aww good job ellijiah ! god so many guys have it soo much easier then girls..I hope it works out for him but to be fair guys get to be muscular n fit while girls have to be on the verge of anorexic looking just not enough to be showing rib cage that is now days back ten years ago you had to show collar bones, ribs n all
