Not how it did not say a girl on the internet, or a person posing for the pleasure of men?

When I think of a model, I do not picture over-the-top glamour, which television and magazine editorials may make it assume to be like, because that is unrealistic. Modeling is not something that a girl should think is only about “shiny legs, and airbrushing and a fan blowing their hair as everyone crowds around to watch her pose.” That is not a realistic mindset to settle on. Modeling for a girl today, especially a shorter girl, is about the product, the product’s image and personality and you as the model fitting that, to sell it, because why are models needed? Because they are meant to help SELL the product, whether it is a jewelry line, or a tampon.

Look it up in the Dictionary.

That definition of what a model is, is a lot more realistic there. More than any TV show or website can imply.

And if you are shorter, then the word model should mean these things: Close ups, beauty shots, personality, smiles, lifestyle products, energy, and natural.

I would notice the girls on the packaging of haircare boxes smiling, those girls are print models. That is the type of look, headshot and appeal you want to show.
