Now I know what you're thinking, what is an awesome "dude" like myself doing reviewing a book on how to become a model? (No I don't have aspirations of becoming a model. I fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down). However, I used this book as part of my psychology/sociology course for a research project we were studying gender roles and society and of course models came up as a modern symbol of beauty and so to better understand what it takes to achieve this modern standard of beauty. And just exactly why women would want to be models and what they go through on a daily basis to practice their craft. This excellent little book came in handy is a step-by-step guide for everything in budding model could ever want to know about the industry. From what is expected in the model agent relationship. Exactly how a fashion show works and everything in between, I learned a lot about the industry, and exactly what models go through for their craft, and I can honestly say. Contrary to popular belief, they work very hard and are anything but living mannequins.Again, this is only the opinion of the dude that knows absolutely nothing about fashion, and/or being a model other than what I learn from this book. But after showing it to some female friends of mine (some of them did have aspirations of modeling). They assured me that it would be very helpful for anyone looking to break into the industry. So if you have aspirations of being the next supermodel then this is the book for you, or if like me. You need to do a little research into the industry. This book is also for you, you will not be disappointed in the information regardless of how you choose to use it.
