Mature models: Redbook magazine example of mature models modeling

Hey Girls,

If you are thinking that being a model is limited by age, think again! Print models model lifestyle products and these type of models are all ages. As you can see here from these ads and editorials in the December issue of Redbook Magazine, mature models are working it in the ads for many products!  Click the ads and editorials to view larger, and get inspired when it comes to creating your own photos as well! ~Isobella

And also I saw this ad in Women's Health

Coming up! Modeling and Age Podcast!

Modeling has no age requirement

This week's segment is based on the question of age and models.

When: 12/1/2010

Time: 11:00 AM  EST (live show)

Listen here:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/isobellajade/2010/12/01/modeling-has-no-age-requirement

Inspired by a Facebook friend's question about modeling and age this segment is based on how modeling has no age requirement and how actually being a bit older can be a benefit in modeling, especially with so many brands and brands and magazines targeted at women 28-40.

The segment scoop:
Model, author Isobella Jade chats about modeling and age. Modeling has no age requirement, ok, so you might not be on a runway but modeling is not just about the runway either. This week on Model Talk Radio, I will be chatting about how modeling these days is about noticing your assets and understanding the  marketing side of working as a model. NO matter your age. When you look at fashion magazines you might only see younger models, but modeling as a whole isn't just for girls or young adults, it is for all ages. This segment is based on a recent post on Isobella's blog: http://www.petitemodelingtips.com/2010/11/modeling-has-no-age-requirement-older.html

Tune into this segment of Model Talk Radio here on 12/1/2010, 11 AM EST, for the live show or catch the archive anytime, also on iTunes to download and listen while you are on go!

Having a dream has no age requirement

"you are never too old or young to dream, or become who want to be." Isobella Jade

I write for the underdogs and those striving to be who they want to be

I write for the underdogs and those striving to be who they want to be, I write about things I wish someone told me, things I've learned and experienced, things I feel I need to share with you, thank you for buying my books, reading my blogs, and listening to my podcast radio show. The will inside and our positive mindset is what drives us, there may be obsticles but it is not a set-back, just something to overcome and work at. ~Isobella Jade


By the way this is an article I wrote on building an author platform from scratch:
http://publishingperspectives.com/2010/11/building-an-author-platform-from-scratch/

give attention to your inner love

Keep believing in yourself, and love who you are. Don't forget to give attention to your inner love. How we feel, what we do, what we gain, who we become, stems from the positivity and love that's inside of us. Have a nice weekend :) Rock on and strive! ~Isobella Jade

"Research, a marketing mindset, dedication, confidence, knowing your assets, self-growth, these might not be obvious words that describe a path of a model, but for a shorter girl, it's what it is about." Modeling is what you make of it. If you are shorter than your road will be different than a fashion model but that d...oesn't mean you can't find opportunity but what you gain is greatly based on what you put into it. More on self promotion and self marketing, inspired by an email I received from a mother of a 15 year old who wants to model:  http://www.petitemodelingtips.com/2010/11/for-shorter-models-and-petite-models.html
