: Actually, what I've begun to suggest to hopeful new models is tha they avoid the internet.

Except for one problem.

The vast majority of "aspiring models" who are on the internet don't qualify to be agency models, or any other kind of mainstream model. Whether it is height, body type, "look", location, attitude or whatever, they just can't do it any other way than on the net.

The most reasonable advice in that case is either:

(a) be a "net model" with all that entails - just do it in a smart way, or

(b) you aren't going to be a model. Get on with your life.

And most "aspiring models" need to hear at least one of those messages.
