10 Things Are What It Takes To Become A Model

Because the idea of earning cash just for posing in a bikini or a dress for clothing brands, like Lookbook Store, is as enticing as creamy chocolate ice cream or the 50 Shades of Gray movie, here are some things you need to become a model

1. The bod for the modeling type you have in mind.

Be it plus-size, sports, commercial, fashion or character, it helps to have the body for it.

2. The guts.

You're more likely to succeed if you're gutsy enough to perform on demand, whether it's to pose nude or do odd things in the name of art and fashion.

3. The right attitude.

Go behind the scenes and you'll see why a pretty face and a body to die for aren't enough to succeed. A dose of professionalism and lots of patience are also needed.

4. A fashion sense.

Want to be a model? Dress like one. In fact, be the one setting trends rather than following what's in.

5. Great organizational skills.

As soon as your modeling career picks up, you're going to learn how to manage your schedules, your finances and even your expenses.

6. A healthy lifestyle

If you're feeling good inside, it'll show in the outside. And nothing makes a photographer happy than a model with glowing skin and a healthy body to boast.

7. A good listerner and a follower.

If you know how to follow instructions, you make clients happy. And when the clients are happy that means more moolah for you.

8. Optimistic.

Rejections and criticisms are common if you're just starting out. Just take them constructively and move on. Chrissy Teigen had her fair share of rejection but look at her now.

9. Love the attention.

If you're going to be a model, you gotta be comfortable in your own skin in front of a camera. Otherwise, your awkwardness will show.

10. The flexibility.

Casting calls, if you're lucky, come at short notices. So you have to be mobile at all times in case you get a call in between shoots or meetings.
