There are websites out there for models that help them network, find jobs, and promote their pictures. Pure Storm and Model Mayhem are two well known sites. Sign up for an account on one or both websites. Then, add your information, post pictures, and search for casting calls. These sites will help you build up a portfolio. You will need to choose a picture for an avatar, add your name, put your location, what you are willing to do, and write about your physical characteristics (tattoos and piercings). There are some websites, like Wix, that offer free options for websites, but you will want to buy a domain name eventually. You may want to wait until you have experience to create a website, but it is okay to create one with your photos taken by a photographer when you first start out. You should have a main page, about me, and portfolio section. Most websites will have templates, both free and priced, available, but you can create your own template if you or someone you know is knowledgeable about creating websites. You should have your contact information either on its own page, or in the about me section. Put your email, but avoid adding your phone number unless you think it's necessary. Add a resume and update it as you gain experience. You can buy a domain name sites like Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy. If you have model friends, socialize with them as much as possible. If you do not, look on websites like Model Mayhem for people to talk to, or for meetups in your area. Making connections is the best way for a new model to find out about jobs and opportunities. Go to concerts, festivals, parties, and events. Make friends not just with other models, but with photographers, stylists, musicians, and actors.. Always be safe when meeting up with people you don't know. Meet in a crowded area, have your cell phone on you, and bring a friend if possible. Working for free is not ideal, but it is often necessary. This is the best way to build up your portfolio when you don't have much experience. Take every opportunity you can. Offer your services for fashion shows, photo shoots, events, music videos, etc. Even the smallest jobs add to your portfolio. Look for agencies that have and continue to sign alternative models. You can usually see some of the models that are currently signed with the agency. Focusing on agencies that cater to alternative models will increase your chances of finding a place to sign you. Look at the policy for sending in photos to the agency. Also, look for open call dates. Open calls give new model a chances to visit agencies in hope of being signed. Look for agencies that host open calls and attend as many as possible. You can attend local open calls, or to travel to attend an open call. Agencies may have different and specific requirements, but you will typically need to at least bring a headshot and comp card. [[ Don't worry if you do not hear anything back from go-sees at first. It may take attending a lot of go-sees to find an agency willing to sign you. This is not necessarily because of you, but because a lot of people attend go-sees. Make sure to be on time, dress in the outfit you feel best in, and be able to accept criticism. Once you have been signed with an agency, you will need to attend go-sees. Go-sees are meeting that your agent sets up for potential job opportunities. A go-see may be for a fashion show, magazine, music video, or catalog. These are important to attend because this is how you find jobs once signed with an agency. The requirement for a go-see, such as what you wear and what you bring with you, depends on the agency and who you are meeting with.

Summary: Join a networking site. Create a website. Socialize as much as possible. Be willing to work for free. Research agencies that have signed alternative models. Go to open calls. Attend go-sees.

Depending on their age, dogs require different levels of protein, calories and other nutrients. There are different types of dog food formulated for puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs. Puppies: Puppies need higher levels of protein for their muscles, calories for growth, and calcium for healthy bones. If your toy poodle is a puppy under 12 months of age, feed it dog food that is specially designed for puppies. These are usually labelled as "puppy food" or "growth" foods. Choose a puppy food designed for toy dogs. This is because the kibble size is smaller and easier for your puppy's tiny teeth to deal with. Adult dogs: When your dog reaches about 12 months of age, feed it food formulated for adult dogs. Keep them on this food until they are about 7 years old. These foods are nutritionally balanced to provide an adult dog's dietary needs. Senior dogs: When your adult toy poodle is 7 years and older, switch to a senior food. These contain reduced level of minerals such as phosphate that the kidney finds more difficult to process. By switching to a senior food, you can help protect your pet's renal function. The options for feeding are a complete dry diet (often known as kibble) or a wet diet of canned food with the addition of mixer biscuits. Dry foods are healthier for the dog's teeth, because chewing on the biscuit helps keep them clean. Wet foods can be more appealing to toy breeds, but the sticky canned or pouched food does stick to teeth and encourage plaque formation. If possible, start your toy poodle pup on a complete dry diet to help promote dental health. Look for a food designed for toy breeds, which will make chewing on the kibble less troublesome. When your dog is a puppy, it has a smaller stomach and needs to be fed more frequently than when it is an adult. Puppies: Feed your toy poodle puppy small meals frequently. The general rule is 4 meals a day up to 3 months of age; 3 meals a day up to 6 months of age; 2 meals a day from 6 months through adulthood. Adult and senior dogs: Feed your adult or senior dog 2 meals per day. Two meals is recommended because a toy poodle's small stomach capacity means he prefers to eat smaller meals more often. Always have a bowl of water available for your dog. Refresh the water every day and clean the bowl every few days.

Summary: Choose a food formulated for your dog's age. Choose a completely dry food diet. Schedule the frequency of feedings depending on your dog's age. Give your dog plenty of water.

Insert the spine into the slot at the nose, i.e, the tip of the kite. Attach the upper and lower spreaders to their connecting pieces on the leading edges. Connect the standoffs to the trailing edges. Make sure to attach the flying lines with a slip knot. Place your kite on the ground. The bottom of the kite should be facing up. The bottom of the kite is the side where the kite strings attach to the kite. Alternatively, have a friend hold the kite up in the air for you. As you walk backward, slowly let the line out. Make sure the lines are the same length, as well as straight and not twisted or tangled. As you walk backward pull the handles to your sides. This will help the kite catch the wind. If a friend is holding up the kite, have them toss it up in the air once you have walked about 30 to 50 feet backward. Do this to elevate the kite higher. The line should be taut with a little give, but not slack. If your kite begins to descend, then reel the line in a little bit and gently pull until it starts going back up. Fly your kite to the side or edge of the wind. At this point, your kite should be at an angle relative to the wind as opposed to perpendicular. Slowly walk toward your kite to bring it safely to the ground. Make sure the line is taut with a little give as you bring the kite to the ground.
Summary: Assemble the kite inside. Stand with your back toward the wind. Walk backward. Pull gently on the lines. Land your kite.
