Modeling after 50? Why not!

Retired and bored? Self-employed and looking to supplement your income? Maybe just have a little fun? You don’t need to be supermodel material to make money at modeling.

Advertisers recognize that people cannot relate to a size 2, 5’10” supermodel selling arthritis medicine.

Most mature men and women don’t even consider starting a modeling career at this age. Many assume they missed the boat while they raised families and pursued other careers. The over-50 category has less competition than other areas of modeling, and the opportunities will continue to grow.

Modeling often pays very well. I know one 50+ model that worked half a day on a photo shoot for a feminine product and made $3,500. Models can earn anywhere from $500 to $5,000 per day. Not bad.

Models over 50 can be seen in TV commercials, print ads, catalogs, hair shows, stock photography and runway shows as well as appearing as Spokesmodels.

Most people fall into the Commercial Print category. Also called Character, Real People or Lifestyle, Commercial models can be any age, any height and any size. The acceptable range of looks include wholesome to quirky to overweight and bald.

When you see an ad depicting a doctor, teacher, real estate broker, etc. these are Commercial Print models. Companies that use Commercial models sell cleaning products, pharmaceuticals, food and other items that people use on an everyday basis. These companies use models rather than people off the street for their level of professionalism. Commercial models can also be seen on product literature, corporate brochures and just about every type of advertising that does not involve fashion.

Like fine wine, Classic fashion models are “women of a certain age”. Also known as Sophisticate, the requirements are similar to that of younger fashion models, but somewhat less restrictive. These women are typically size 2 to 8, and 5’6” to 5’11”. Classic models are attractive and fit with nice skin and teeth, and range from pretty to sophisticated. More Magazine, J. Jill and Chico’s use Classic models.

Male Fashion models are 5' 11" - 6' 2" and wear a size 40 Regular to 42 Long suit. Men should be toned and well proportioned. Overly muscular builds do not properly fit the clothing. Clear skin and good teeth are required. There is a wide variety of acceptable looks. A man's fashion modeling career often lasts longer than a woman’s.

Living in the New York area is ideal since most of the modeling work is done in Manhattan. While you can find some jobs on your own, being represented by a modeling agency makes life infinitely easier. Wilhelmina, Ford, Gilla Roos and Cunningham Escott Slevin & Doherty are some of the top New York agencies that represent talent over 50.

If you are interested in modeling, submit a note to the agencies stating you are looking for representation. Your note should contain your name, city and state of residence, cell phone number, height, clothing size and shoe size. Also include one close up photo of your face (smiling) and one full body shot showing your shape (in a swimsuit, leotard or well fitting clothing). Write your name and phone number on the back of each photo. Most commercial print agencies prefer that you already have professional photos, although don’t spend a lot of money on photos to start. Many New York photographers will arrange a shoot for $99. If you don’t want to spend that much, ask a friend or family member to take a few photos. Send a SASE if you want your photos returned.

NLP Modeling - The Core Discipline of NLP

I wrote in another article how NLP is NOT therapy. Most beginning students mistake NLP to be a form of therapy because so much has been published, debated and criticized about the therapeutic models developed in NLP.

If you read through this entire post, you'll have figured out 99% of the NLP game. Many experienced NLPers that I've talked to haven't understood the distinction I'm about to share with you. And yet, when you get it (and you will), you'll breeze through any NLP material and assimilate it much more quickly, because you'll have a framework with which to absorb it.

In short, NLP is a modeling technology. Its central purpose can be expressed in three sequential activities:

1. Identify people who produce outstanding results in a particular field of activity (sports, communication, management, leadership, therapy, learning, education, etc.)

2. Model those people in order to create an explicit model of how they produce those outstanding results. The peculiar way this is done in NLP will be shared in greater detail in a later post, but it's important to distinguish NLP modeling from other types of modeling.

3. Teach or transfer that model to others. The modeling project will be successful if the person who learns the model can produce results comparable to those of the outstanding performer. One of the key criteria of this transfer is that ANYONE who is committed to master the model can do so.

I've come to adopt the perspective that NLP is a field that lends its discoveries to other fields. Let me give you an example so you can easily understand this.

If you're new to NLP, you'll soon study the Milton Model, which consists of a collection of language patterns distilled from modelling Milton Erickson, the most prominent practicioner of hypnotherapy.

Most NLPers would tell you that the Milton Model is an NLP model. I prefer to say that NLP practicioners produced a hypnosis model called the Milton Model.

Likewise, I'd rather say that a practicioner of NLP produced a financial mastery model, a soccer dribbling model, a seduction model and so forth and so on. Each field to its own. Our field is the field of modeling. And our tools are those tools that make modeling possible.

This of course, is only my point of view and I'd be surprised if NLPers agreed with me. Nevertheless, I find it more useful to classify those models as such.

In future posts, I'll begin to distinguish which of the classical tools of NLP belong to NLP and which ones belong to other fields.

Decision Support Systems, Part 3 – Modeling & Forecasting

In parts 1 and 2 we described two levels of Decisions support systems (DSS) systems, which analyze the “what and the why” of business performance. In a third level of DSS functionality which is more advanced, analysis enables modeling of mechanisms, to predict the outcome of one action or alternative actions: ‘What shall be the outcome if a certain measure is taken’ (what-if analysis).

Predictions may relate to any of the following (indicatively):

· How much shall revenue be increased, due to a marketing campaign

· Which products must be promoted to which Customer groups – ‘propensity to buy’ scoring

* Which Customers are about to defect (churn or attrition modelling)
* Which tax payers are likely to evade tax (tax evasion risk scoring)

* How would a product price-change affect sales volume (price elasticity analysis)
* How would the application of a new tax policy affect state revenues

Certain risk management forms (e.g. credit risk modeling), belong to this DSS level. Statistical analysis, data mining and modeling tools are usually employed. The development of an accurate predictive system which is information driven, leads to a sustainable competitive advantage which differentiates leading Organizations. While the ability to capture detailed results (level 1) is the background, the abilities to analyze and predict results (levels 2 and 3) enable the full exploitation of business information and the high competitiveness of an Organization.

DSS infrastructures, if developed and used aligned to the Strategy, contribute to the formation of an Organization which fully exploits information and takes actionable decisions based on the latter. Copyright 2006 – Kostis Panayotakis

Call to bring back the lager can lovelies

SCOTTISH modelling agencies are calling on Tennents to bring back their famous models on the sides of lager cans.

It would not only give models a higher profile, they claim, but would boost the company's sales.

Last night, as the firm said it had "not ruled out" bringing back the sexy can-side images, the former models called it "a great idea".

The pictorial cans were introduced in 1969 after a trial with Ann Johansen, now regarded as the first of the Tennent's can girls.

They were discontinued in 1992 when the company felt it needed new ideas. But they were the passport to fame for many girls and have been much lamented by male drinkers.

Lisa Anderson, director of the Anna Lisa modelling agency, said: "It would be great to bring them back. People no longer think models are exploited."

FAULTY MODEL

TO the millions of viewers of TV's latest wannabe show, Model Behaviour, Nathan Roberts is a star-struck youngster hoping to hit the big time on the catwalk.

Except he's not. Far from just starting out in modelling, he's worked professionally for FIVE YEARS and is already on the books of 11 agencies - including the one whose bosses will help pick and then promote the show's winners.

Tens of thousands of youngsters from all over Britain auditioned for the series in the belief that professional models were barred.

One of Nathan's former employers - a London-based modelling agency boss - said last night: "I couldn't believe it when I saw him on the set.

"Here was an internationally-known model giving the impression of being someone with no experience who'd just walked in off the streets. It's a disgraceful situation.

"He should be pulled out of the show immediately."

Nathan and his seven fellow finalists are currently living in a waterfront apartment in London's Canary Wharf where the Channel 4 series is being filmed. The boy and the girl winners of the November 15 final will both get a one-year contract with top London-based modelling agency Select - which has two judges on the selection panel - and appear on the cover of GQ or Glamour magazine.

That would not be such a big step for Nathan, 24, as it would for the other finalists. He has already appeared in the Tatler and New Yorker magazines and the French edition of FHM.

He is also signed to agencies in Paris, Cape Town, Barcelona, Tokyo, Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Vienna, Athens and Munich. He is about to star in an ad campaign for a top brand of sweets, has appeared in TV ads in his native South Africa and posed for photographs illustrating a new version of the Kama Sutra book.

At first Freud Communications, the PR firm handling publicity for the show, confirmed professional models were banned from taking part, but later spokeswoman Danielle Robinson had changed her mind. "It really doesn't matter how much experience a contestant has had," she said.

"Some of the contestants have had some experience of modelling. But it would only have been on a small scale and nothing like what the eight finalists are experiencing now."
