A person who poses for photographs, usually to sell clothing or products. Makes for some interesting Reality TV.

Yeah, a lot of models ARE airbrushed--but it's ignorant to say that "OMG SHE'S SKINNY SHE MUST BE BULIMIC." There's nothing wrong w/ being a little skinny, the same way there's nothing wrong with being a little overweight. People should stop hating on skinny people.

Male or female- from infants and above. There are many types of Modeling- Runway, Print, Commercial, High fashion/editorial, Plus, Promotional, etc. All models are NOT skinny, and it is VERY frowned upon in the Modeling industry to have an eating disorder. Runway models have to be certain measurements. Print models do ads and such. Commercial models fit the average looking person who can also work in commercials. High fashion/editorial modeling is basically modeling for things like Gucci, Versace, etc.- all the big name brands. Plus models are those who are bigger than the average/usual measurements. Promotional models do promotions.

And Believe it, Modeling is NOT an easy job. Models are definitely not dumb and they have to have thick skin to face criticism from agents, designers, etc.
I've been modeling since I was 13 years old. I thought it would be easy, but was I ever wrong. 2 years later, I really enjoy doing it and it's what I love.
