Diary Of Studying Abroad: My Tortuous Experience Of Modeling In The US

I never thought that I could be a model myself in my whole life. And for the first time, I was really happy to shoot a publicity photo for such a big brand.

In fact, they only take four groups of photos on Friday.

For these four groups of photos, they found four Asian models altogether.

As far as I know, this autumn clothing show is aimed at Asian Americans in California.

In California, the proportion of Asian residents is equal to that of whites. Therefore, this market is a business that businessmen should never overlook.

According to the director, there were about 400 asian girls who originally signed up (sending personal photos and resumes). They selected 100 or so notifications to participate in the audition.

Of course, I am one of them.

On the day of the audition, I wore my favorite BEBE dress, high heeled knee boots, and arrived at the audition place early, but I didn't expect many girls to arrive.

Because I had never auditioned for a model, I was so nervous and excited.

Look at the models around me, I thought, it's all over.

It can be seen from the way of dress and accent that most of the Asian girls who took part in the audition were ABC, ABJ, ABK (American Chinese, American Japanese and American Korean) who were born or grew up in the US.

To tell you the truth, my only thought at that time was "they all looked sexy, and were all higher than me. They were all more beautiful than me, and all of them felt" strong (Beijing dialect, not very fond of people, taking themselves seriously) ".

He told me that I didn't compete with them at all.

My advantage is not "sexy" but my kindness, nature, sincerity and truth.

He told me not to pose "cool" or "sexy" because it's not my strength, or it's not me at all.

What I want to conquer is the personality charm and affinity.

"Play to your strength". After listening to the dumplings, I went back to the waiting room.

I looked at the girls around me, one by one with a tall chest and an asian princess. I thought, indeed, I am different from you, and I am not comparing with you.

I began to try to talk to some girls sitting next to me.

But they had nothing to say, and a look of "unreasonable".

The most important thing is that I can't see the smile on their faces.

The bag on their hands is either CHANNEL or GUCCI, which obviously gives people the impression that they are superior to others.

Sure enough, I was surrounded by a group of "Asian princesses".

When I was auditioning, the director made me pose differently, and I put on all kinds of shapes easily and naturally on the front, side and back. But I always remember the killer and smile of my seedling.

Ha ha, yes.

I am not a T model. I am neither cool nor beautiful, nor do I feel sexy in my bones. But I have my smile, my sincerity, and I want the camera to catch this.

At the same time, the director of the corner told me that she had made my height 5 "6" (1.70 meters), because that was the minimum requirement of JC Penny for the height of the model.

The director told me that I looked like 5 "6", so I repeatedly told me to wear high heels on the day of reexamination.

They have screened 8 people from 100 people, and the second test is to pick 4 models from the last 8 people to take four groups of photos.
