1) Yes and no. Dependson the age. Guessing girlfriend chef isn't a spring chicken (i.e. in the teens). Very hard to make it as a super model. Not so hard to get work locally etc as a photgraphers model (no not the kind of stuff that makes it into the one a day thread). Look on istockphoto.com there are people there that are always after good looking models to do stuff such as sit in front of a computer, hold a bag etc etc. That will get her face out there. It would be a miracle if she went from zero to supermodel and to be frank ain't going to happen.

There is lots of modelling work out there but the majority of them are not in clothing but for photography etc.

Maybe try to be a specialist model. Hand model etc. Not as "glamerous" but in reality not much of modelling is.

My sister works with models for a high street fashion chain so I'll see if she knows what the score is.

2) Go to places like the clothes show etc. They have scouts there looking for people. Its not a good idea to pay an "agency" as they will more than likley just run with the money.

3) I was once (or twice) in a police line up. Thats sort of modelling.

thanks SP, thats exactly the kind of response I was looking for..

i too was in a police line up a few times, got chosen once, it really opens your eyes up to what a joke the "line up" system is. drug deals being made while waiting for the thing to start, shockingly bad one way glass that allowed you to see the clothes/outline of the witness.

not a chance, quickest way of having "girlfriend chef" becoming "ex girlfriend chef". if she has a break through then i will.

ok, not quite sure what the reaction will be on here but you never know, i might possibly get some useful information.

Girlfriend chef last night decided that as a side line to her career in hotel management she wants to pursue a career in modelling. She is goodlooking and has the sort of bone structure/physique you see/expect in a model, i.e she's not a munter which obviously helps, however, the questions I have are:

1) isnt it near impossible to breakthrough in modelling? the sort of equivalent of being signed by a well known producer for those in the music business.
2) does anyone have any tips of how to go about getting into the business?
3) has anyone you know pursued this and whats their feedback?

GF Jog is an ex model and I also know someone who works in a quite high profile modelling agency in Chelsea - just hooked up with her on facebook and My GOD I've been looking for an excuse to say hi and try and get invited to some of the parties she keeps getting tagged in

1) Not really - you can get noticed by a talent scout or approach the agencies directly

2) Get a professional photographer to take a small portfolio of diverse pictures with different looks- something to present.

Also sometimes hairdressers advertise for hair models - this can be a way of getting some professional pictures in the portfolio.

3) GF didn't like it that much after the initial novelty of the glitzy glamour wore off. Very very bitchy environment so thick skin recommended. She came out with a quite nasty eating disorder. If you watch Britain's/America's next top model it is very like that.

Still the money's good and the parties are great

A few photos / videos on YouP*rn might help - just send us the links.

You may be better asking something like this on Freelancer UK - photographers etc. over there may know a bit more than a group of pervs over here.

Easy - take a semi-clad pic of her and send it off to The Sun, Nuts, Zoo etc. If she is as good as you say, they'll get back to her for more. Quick way to start, by-passing agencies etc. Mate's gf (could have said mine!) done that and she's on Page 3 B-list.

A Page 3 model and a fashion model are quite different, maybe you were so ferociously pleasing yourself over those publications you hadn't noticed.

Page 3/Nuts etc= Small women large breasts who end up working as prostitutes
Vogue etc= Tall women no breasts who end up with anorexia
