Hair New Era

Charlotte, NC has more models per 5 sq. ft than any other place in the world. And that's fine, however, if you're going to call yourself a model, put in the time and effort to study the craft. Draw from different places and inspirations to get better. With so many people aspiring to do the same thing as you, you should figure out what will make YOU stand out. If you look just like the next 5 chics in line, nothing will prompt "she's memorable" at any casting or show. Practice your walk, play with poses in the mirror, pull from an internal place to exude emotion through your photos. Like anything, it will take a lot of work but the end goal makes it all worth it. Being tall, thin or pretty is not enough, especially in Charlotte, NC, USA.
