my experience modelling

My first experience of the modelling world all began a couple of years ago when my cousin asked me to go to Dublin with her for a modelling audition for Celtic model agency! I got through to the next level which was kind of surprising since i only went with her to keep her company! The next level was to go to Tipperary to the agency to meet with the person in charge of everything. It was very scary because when i went into her office i said "hello, how are you?" and i walked over towards the seats, but when i looked around to see where she was she was still standing at the door staring at me. Then she started giving out to me for not greeting her appropriately. At that stage i felt like walking out, my eyes were filled with tears but i couldn't cry so i just put on a brave face and she asked me to go outside the door and come in again properly and i did it how i was expected to. We sat down and she apologised for that, but it was for my own good because if i went into a top agency I'd have to make a good impression. She then started pouncing all of these questions at me like "why i want to be a model"(even though i didn't know i did). she then told me because i got through i had the opportunity to go to New York to be in a top fashion show were all the big agencies would be there to sign you up. When i heard that i all of a sudden wanted to be a model, so she left myself and my mam to talk about it for a few minutes. Then she came back in and i was really up for it but she just forgot to leave out one little detail, i had to pay 7,000 euro so we had to think about it. with that we were a bit weary about the whole thing.I spoke to my dad about it and he was nearly going to pay the money because it was what i wanted to do. thank god we decided not to go ahead with it because a few months later it came out in the papers that the 6,000 euro was a whole money scam.

Last year just around this time i was getting my hair cut one day and my hair dresser asked me to call into her husband who was a photographer. He took a few normal pictures of me just to have on file and then if something came up for me he would give me call, so modest me thought nothing of it and didn't expect to hear anything but a couple of weeks later surprise surprise he had some work for me- a photo shoot in a magazine! I couldn't believe it. I spent 10 hours posing, getting my hair done and my makeup touched up every half hour. Believe it or not it wasn't that easy. The Boyne Magazine eventually came into the shops and it was really weird to see myself on the front cover but i got used to it. After all that calmed down i got another photo shoot for the same magazine, swimwear-nerve wrecking! But sadly the photographer and the magazine owners had a falling out so that was the end of that. I haven't really had any other work but i got a portfolio out of it so it was worth it!
