Agency walk-ins to get signed are brutal.

If you're an aspiring model who hasn't been scouted on the streets, then you have to do agency walk-ins. This is where all the agents and bookers look you up and down to decide if you "have what it takes". Sometimes even the receptionist joins in.

And it's not just walk-ins we do to get signed: You can also apply for modelling jobs online.

But don't be surprised if they send you their generic rejection email.

We hate the fact that we have to keep going to the gym.

Maintaining the body you need to be a model is almost a full-time job itself.
