So you are attractive
and you think you would like to be a model! Are you sure you are the 1 type Are you fairly tall with a small 2 ? Are your breast and your hips more or less of the same
measurement? Have you got good legs? Yes? Well, these are only the 3 requirements. First of all, make up your mind how you
are going to begin. You can go to a model school, 4 such
schools are expensive. There they will teach you how to make the 5 of yourself; how to make up well, how to walk, how to
look after your complexion (肤色) and your hair. But you may not have enough money for
this. 6 can you do? Have some photographs 7 by a really good professional (职业的) photographer who
knows the fashion business.
If you are not photogenic (上镜头的) —well, there's 8 that even the best photographer can do for you. Oh—you
are photogenic? Good? Now we can begin. You can either become a house-model, or
work free-lance. A house-model is an employee, 9 the
salesgirls and the bookkeeping staff. She is 10 by a
dress firm to show off clothes. These shows are for buyers from big stores or
for the press. It's a full-time 11 . But if you are more ambitious (有抱负的) and want to earn a
lot of 12 , you can become a free-lance mold;
that is to say , you will be paid by the hour for your 13 All your work will come to you 14 a model
agency (经纪部门), and you will not choose your clients (客户). The agency will tell you 15 to go, at what time, and what you will have to do. It
may be for a magazine or television 16 , to model dresses in a smart hotel, or for a
"collection" show in a big fashion house. Whatever the occasion (不管什么样的场合),your job will be to
look as decorative as 17 .
You always have to 18 to be enjoying yourself, even if you are
being photographed outdoors on a 19 cold
day, wearing practically nothing. Are you 20 enough for that?
