Calling all supermodels!

Topics: celebrity, model, new york, tyra banks
Are there any other supermodels out there besides myself? Okay, I'm not one yet, but it's in the bag because I'm drop dead gorgeous, and the spitting image of Angelina Jolie! Tyra Banks eat your heart out! ROFL! I'm currently waitressing at Denny's, and saving all my tips for modeling headshots, and then I'm on the bus to New York City where I'm sure to be snapped-up by a top agency. I recently posted my audition for America's Top Model on my blog. Too bad it was cancelled because of riots, because I was the prettiest one there out of thousands of model wannabees and a shoo-in to win the title, especially in my pink tube top! Anyhoo, I'd appreciate any tips for making it in the business from other supermodels.
See you on the runway!!!

It's nice to see that the art of satire isn't dead yet.-
So you're saying I'm not hot enough to model, or what?
-
Let's just say I think you're being overly optimistic about the road to the catwalk.
-
I think her chances are very good!
-
-
My avatar is a photo of my soul mate, not me, by the way. No wonder you don't think I'll make it in the business! ROFL! But if you spotted me at the mall, you'd think, "Hey, who's that hottie in the pink tube top? I bet she's a supermodel!" Seriously.
-
have you heard from your soul mate scott yet Lisa
-
-
Oh, and I've already made a conscious decision not to let fame go to my head, if that's what you're worried about. I'll probably even keep most of my same friends. Well, my BFF will have to go, because she's a jealous bitch, but I won't drop the others, at least not until I move to Los Angeles.
-
Doll, are you a supermodel?
-
Oh , unfortunately no, only due to my petite size. I was, however a very successful hand model - at the peak of my career my hands were insured for $1,500,000!
-
-
lolz. -
I hear these days models have a short shelf life, bottom line of agencies oblige. You may need a backup career plan.
-
You mean a backup plan like being a movie star? That's really the only other career that interests me!
-
Wannabe actors must be prepared to do some waiting and waiting.
-
Well, once she is a Supermodel, she will easily be able to transition into movies! Think of Angelina! and she wasn't even a supermodel- just a regular model!
-
Good point Doll! When you make it on the cover of People magazine, that's half the battle.
-
-
Wow, Doll, that is so fabulous! You do indeed have the bone structure of a supermodel! Of course, sadly, it's not as fabulous as my own....but at least you worked with what you got and showed off your hands!
-
Harvey....exactly. That's why I'm going to be a supermodel!
-
Eh being a supermodel isn't all it's cracked up to be. Acting is better. Supermodel you have to starve yourself and are very limited to what you can actually eat. I was 30 lbs under weight and not an ounce of fat on my body perfect flat tummy (and I am 5' 11") and I was told I had to be on a strict diet, I walked out. Take note I can eat anything and not gain weight so what would a strict diet have done to me??? I used to have to drink calorie shakes on top of lunch just to not lose weight.
Not having a job where they can tell me what I need to eat especially when it is almost nothing! Screw that I enjoy food -
lol -
You'll need to pick up an eating disorder or two.
That way, the model agency people will be impressed that you did so before they could even ask you to.
On your way!-
Yes, the art of getting anorexia and bulemia is a skill to have. The beauty is that girls can get lanugo above their lips to be more manly -
there's always waxing to get rid of that !
-
-
Thanks, chicky! I can see by your photo that you indeed look like a supermodel, although you're not the spitting image of Angelina Jolie, like I am. I think I WILL develop an eating disorder...still a toss-up which one. I guess I'll flip a coin.
-
*blushes* Thank you
-
Why do you have to chose when you can excel in ALL of them?
-
-
Hopefully, Model Elaine will drop by and share some of her supermodel secrets!
-
But she is not a supermodel like you will be - and she may try to thwart you by giving bad advice (due to jealousy etc.)
-
Like to know how to be.
-
-
Good point, Doll. I could have an eating disorder-of-the-week, maybe even star in my own reality show about it. Anybody have any network connections?
-
-
-
wow that was fast,,,someone is on the ball lol
-
Wow where did your comments go? Someone back on the chain again?
-
I woke up this morning and looked at my life
Filled with so much sorrow and grief
And in my troubled mind
I could see through all my strife
That time is only a thief
Yes time is a thief
That will steal your tomorrows
And leave you only yesterday
Yes time is a thief
That will rob you of your years
Your youth the only ransom you can pay
So treasure each little moment
Don't let a single minute slip away
Because time is a thief
That will rob you of your years
And never return one yesterday
Oh time is a thief
That will rob you of your years
And never return one yesterday-
Yup that time is an ugly _itch.
-
-
I was actually complimenting Time Thief by asking her to drop by and offer supermodel advice. Judging by her photo, she is obviously a supermodel. She takes everything the wrong way!
-
We are always misunderstood!
-
hahahaha yeah those avatars are 100% real.
I am surprised that the all powerful computer has no solid information for you on modeling.
-
-
I wanted to change my user name to MissUnderstood and some other misunderstood wanker already had it dam it
-
-
its a term of endearment doll.......mmmmm wow ok he's /she's got a nicer rack than me lol
-
Big Brother is watching this thread!
-
More like the evil step-sister is watching LOL
-
Yup
-
-
-
I'm sure this will also be deleted because you made some very valid points! And there will be no response from admin. !

@LisaNYC and dollinNYC
I'm sorry that you both feel that way. We have only had one situation wherein you misunderstood the intent of a thread I posted. I was trying to focus on writing blog descriptions of about 25 words or less but it was apparent that you and dollinNYC didn't understand that way back when.
I did follow-up with an explanation at the time but it seems that neither of you were willing to accept it at that time.
www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/bc-blog-name-game#comment_827699
www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/bc-blog-name-game#comment_827430
I apologize for offending you and I'm wondering if it's not possible for you both to forgive me and move on, rather than continuing to post negative and sarcastic things about me into forum threads. Is that possible? -
@LisaNYC
I'm visually challenged and don't focus well enough to see an entire thread, so I just scrolled down and noticed your two posts made at the end of this thread.
I'm repeating this so you will understand that I'm sincere.
I apologize for offending you and DollinNYC and I'm wondering if it's not possible for you both to forgive me and move on. Is that possible? -
Lisa and Doll,
I like both of you--and Lisa, I think your blog is truly hilarious.
I teach classes online and I know better than most that communication in the electronic format is often hard to convey meanings. I know timethief and know that she would never want to offend anyone.
I hope that everyone can allow for a fresh start. Everyone deserves a second chance and I know that TT is committed to helping the forum be as harmonious as possible. I know for certain she would never do anything to hurt anyone--she's not that type of person.
Thanks to both of you--and here's to a peaceful BC forum!
Melinda -
well if it's any consolation she apologized, you are one of the lucky few, good for you
-
Did you see my post to Time Thief towards the bottom of this thread? What do you think about what Empath posted - and here I thought she and I were friends !
-
ok the empath thing, ummm she didn't ask you if she could use your dream?
-
No she did not !
-
@Doll--well that really sucks if she used your material with no credit! I'll leave it up to you and TT to hash it out.
I just really like to see more harmony on this forum--that's all.
Have a great night! -
@DollinNYC
I don't have any role to play in the scenario between yourself and empath. I suggest that you take this up with her directly.
-
-
I've already turned over the hour glass!
-
I guess they are jealous of your killer good looks and future success!
-
-
LOL you can see who the spies are by looking at the recent readers LOL
-
uh oh!
-
-
Cooking Asshole - I see you have your spy glasses on !
-
they have multiple uses. One being the aformentioned activity.
-
I am afraid to ask about the other uses. Since you are a spy will you have to kill me if you tell me?
-
that is the name of the game
-
-
@LisaNYC
You may find the information on this site to be helpful. I hope that's the case. Good luck!

TIme Thief.....Thanks, but I was hoping there were some supermodels on BC. If you see Model Elaine in the hallway, would you be so kind to ask her to stop by? Or any supermodels that you come across in your international, jet-setting world? Sure would appreciate it! Thanks again!!!
-
Time Thief -- I don't recall posting anything "sarcastic" or "negative" about you. In fact, you seem like a wonderful person! Are you sure you're not confusing Doll and myself with two others who are have more dubious characters?
-
PS TIme Thief: And I am really thrilled that you dropped by with that supermodel link! You are always there when anybody needs you, which is a little spooky at times, but so enormously helpful!
((((((((((((((((Time Thief))))))))))))))))))) Hugs to you!-
Wow ! Lots o' hugs !
-
Oh good! Looks like we are all singing Kum-By-Yah now.
Now let's all sing another verse around the old campfire!
-
-
Mmmmm tasty worm... Not sure what that shiny sharp looking thing is around it, but mmmm that's one tasty looking worm. -
In fact, Time Thief, judging by your gorgeous photo....I actually wondered if you were a supermodel yourself, or at least in the "business" in some capacity, so I was happy when you dropped by with your 2 cents. And, if you think I'm being sarcastic right now, you are quite wrong!
-
humm... worm now comes with 11 herbs and spices.... ignore the shiny hook. That's just there for show.
-
Well, the hook shouldn't be that obvious. I thought you knew that!
-
yah working in vice he (of all people) should know that !
-
-
He could be demoted for that major slip-up!
-
I know nothing.... I'm just here with popcorn waiting for the movie to start.
-
ditto...
-
-
Yeah, me too.
-
me three.
-
-
---- pulling up plastic kiddie pool filled with jello --- May I interest you in this fine bathing suit? JD Powers ranked it a supermodel's number one pick in supermodel quality. Really, try it on.. I'd bet it would look Maavelous
-
hmmm are you talking to ModelElaine?
-
Oh no, ma'am.... The supermodel quality in this room is enough for any bathing suit..... er'..... thread I mean. I am such a devoted fan... really, try it on....
-
-
Doll.....were you singing kum-ba-yah with us? You might have hurt Time Thief's feelings by not joining in!
-
oh don't mind me.
-
-
I suppose if a certain TimeThief helped a certain Doll with a certain issue then maybe the Doll could forget about the past. Empath took a dream I posted in a thread on BC, and then posted it on her own site as well as twitter making it look as though I asked for her interpretation! and she used my name! Imagine that - what's a Doll to do? I asked her to remove it but so far no response!
Here's the link to the original thread , and here is her reworking of it on her site and Twitter :
www.dailyspiritonline.com/2009/04/dream-interpretation-image-by-getty.html
Dream Interpretation: I dreamt I was in Cuba with Kate Winslet. DollinNYC tinyurl.com/d9uwxy-
oops ! here's the thread from BC
www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/supply-your-daily-dream -
so she got all that out of one sentence hummm
-
exactly!
-
@DollinNYC
I suppose if a certain TimeThief helped a certain Doll with a certain issue then maybe the Doll could forget about the past.
I hope you saw my post to you above. I don't have any help that I can offer you and I regret that you made your forgiveness contingent upon solving a problem that I have no solution for.
www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/calling-all-supermodels#comment_902275 -
oOo you have help for everyone else but not Doll?
That leads me to believe you are in cahoots with Empath and the apology is a ruse ! -
@DollinNYC
I honestly don't have anything to offer. If I did I would surely share it. What you said was voluntarily posted into a forum thread so it's not a case of stolen blog content. If it was the latter I could provide help but it's not so I can't. -
Shenanigans- just as I suspected !
In any event , I have hijacked Lisa's thread for my own selfish reasons and possibly scared off anyone wanting to offer modeling tips ! -
That's because they came to watch Melrose Place and instead got Green Acres. Can I borrow your pitchfork sometime?
-
Whose pitchfork?
-
-
=( I'm so disappointed. Perfectly good jello going to waste.
-
hmm did you specify if it was sugar-free jello? you know how models are about their diet!
-
Yes miss diva ma'am.... I had to open 2500 Splenda packets to make this jello... and what fine fine jello it is.... and look, it matches this fine bathing suit so well... =D
-
-
Strange how Model Elaine hasn't dropped by! I wonder if she saw my photo on the blog and feels threatened by drop dead gorgeous looks?
-
mtyler..........so true about e-communication and messages becoming misconstrued!
-
I thought she was a guy, someone told me they got her to admit she was a guy in a thread, who knew, learn something new everyday
-
You thought who was a guy - Model Elaine?
-
-
That would explain it, Kat!
-
Yeah, i was told that , but you know who knows
-
Well, even drag queens can give helpful supermodel tips. No need to discriminate. Tyra Banks is a man, too, and that hasn't slowed her down!
-
I know you still hold a grudge against Tyra after what happened in New York. Take a lesson from all the forgiveness on this board and try to move forward !
dearscottpeterson.blogspot.com/2009/03/omg-i-just-took-bus-from-ohio-to.htm...
-
-
well Tyra is the new Oprah lol, But I always thought she was a robot not a man
-
Okay, in the worst case scenario and she is a robot.....aren't most supermodels robots, when you think about it, and couldn't she still offer me supermodel advice if she dropped by this thread?
Hope I'm not getting too "heavy" for ya! -
Time Thief.....so is it okay to use other people's posts from this forum on personal blogs and websites with no credit?
-
Well-she credited me without asking if it was ok, and that's what I have a problem with !
-
@LisaNYC and DollinNYC
so is it okay to use other people's posts from this forum on personal blogs and websites with no credit?
I think that's a question that ought to be put to Admin.
The TOS link is www.blogcatalog.com/tos and this section may be relevant "Proprietary Rights in Content on BlogCatalog.com."
I frequently copy and paste excerpts from my published and copyrighted posts into BC forum threads to answer question about blogging, and when I do I provide the link back to the source post on my blogs. -
I should be compensated for the use of that dream since it involved a celebrity!
See TT , you DO have advice ! Admin who? where I work? -
@DollinNYC
The contact link for BC Admin is at the bottom of this page www.blogcatalog.com/contact/ -
Are there Cliff notes for this? www.blogcatalog.com/tos
-
I think she should have asked, or at least informed you, I just had someone take one of my comments and incorporate into their post, I personally didn't mind, but it wasn't the entire basis of his post, he actually wrote some origional content and my comment complemented his position, which was fine with me , he gave me credit and linked back so it was all good
-
hmmm well you referred to me as a train wreck and I didn't hold that against you . For long.
-
but a good train wreck, you know the kind you do a u turn for just so you can rubber neck the second time
-
-
Or, I should say, without permission?
-
oh , woe is Doll.
-
Cooking Asshole and Danny Vice I see you ! I know you are still looking for that Jello business!
-
damn
-
-
Wha? I have nothing to do with that Barbie swimming pool sitting on the table. Have no idea where that came from
-
hmmm I have reason to doubt you Mr. Vice, if that's your real name.
-
-
Wow....114 responses and not one supermodel has dropped by yet?
-
Other than you !
-
-
Well, Time Thief, that's very considerate of you to link back to the source. Too bad others aren't as thoughtful as you are!
-
Very true, Doll, of course that's what I was thinking. But I didn't want to come across as boastful!
-
Cooking Asshole is still hoping for the Jello/bikini mash up!
-
I am a sick, sick man
-
-
Yes, we have a deep appreciation for the arts
-
The Jello/bikini mash sounds like it might make an interesting Bobby Flay Throwdown.
-
Nah, we were thinking something along the lines of "The Girls Of BC"
Oops...correction. Make that "The Dolls Of BC" -
oh , I thought you meant Bobby Trendy
www.popcornnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/bobbytrendy.jpg-
that would be something else entirely
-
That image in no way reflects the views or opinions of our advertisers.
-
-
Perhaps today a supermodel will finally come along. I'm trying to remain optimistic.
-
LisaNYC - You have the patience of a saint!
-
don't forget me!
-
hehe... I put the jello in the fridge overnight just in case....
But you know... today I'm thinking pudding.
-
-
I'm still clinging to the power of positive thinking. A supermodel WILL visit my thread and very soon!
-
Okay, I've been waiting several days for a supermodel to drop by....and would just like to announce that regular models are welcome, too!
-
Hahah, this is getting desperate
-
-
I AM desperate, and I'm not above admitting that! I'm off to NYC soon to pursue my dream, and would really like some advice from a supermodel or two!
-
Well, perhaps put your face out there (online)? Get a photographer friend to do a photo shoot?
-
-
Well, I've done that! I posted a photo on my blog that reaches thousands of people each day. I'm waiting for an agent to come along and snap me up, because my resemblance to Angelina Jolie is uncanny.
-
Then, you need to cause some sort of controversy ... one that will have people offering modeling/acting/singing jobs. If Octo-Mom is getting her own reality show after having 8 babies, why wouldn't you get modeling offers after ___________________ ?
-
-
Well, I'm going to marry Scott Peterson, so that will probably make the news. Maybe even the cover of People Magazine! Especially if we have a prison wedding!
-
I want to be a brides maid lisa
-
How gauche! One does not ask to be a bridesmaid - one is asked!
-
-
It all depends if you're photogenic, sorry. I don't mean to be shallow, but all my bridesmaids must also look like a supermodel, as I do. Although they can't look MORE like a supermodel than me. When we cast the wedding, I'll have my agent (that I don't have yet, btw, but sure I will VERY soon) get in touch to let you know where the bridesmaids auditions will be!
-
Your BFF, the one who has a crush on Ted Bundy, is going to be jealous! How will you handle that? After all, you will be able to realize your dream, and she will only be left with some old newspaper clippings!
-
-
Oh, and that's because the worldwide media will be covering our wedding, of course.
-
Well, Doll, my best friend is free to audition to be one of the bridesmaids, just like everybody else. She's not being left out of anything. So if she feels resentful or whatever, then that's HER problem! I refuse to let it spoil my special day!
-
yeah. it is your wedding and dream man not her's.
-
That's the right attitude!
-
Cooking Asshole I see that jello - forget it!
-
-
Plus, and this is just between you and me, my best friend doesn't look AT ALL like a supermodel, and for that reason, doubt she'll pass the audition. But I'll let her try out just to humor her, I guess.
-
You're a thoughtful friend!
-
-
that is SO kind of you
-
Thanks! I wish somebody would tell her that!
-
I'm disappointed for you Lisa! I thought there were a lot more models on Blog Catalog-I guess they are all just posers!
-
I even lowered my standards and asked for non-super models! But still not one showed-up! What is it with this place? I though BC attracted international jet-setters!
-
Maybe I'll have my best friend serve the cocktails and pigs in a blanket at the wedding reception so she doesn't feel left out.
-
that would be a good compromise
-
oOo pigs in blankets you really ARE going all out!
-
-
Hmpf! I see Model Elaine started a thread about "sex on a first date" but didn't bother to answer mine! I can see where her mind is at!
-
How can she with all that shagging? The poor girl only has two hands !
-
-
She could carry our luggage to the car, too. Doll, do you want to throw the rice?
-
Do I have to cook it?
-
-
No! If I needed it cooked, I would have contacted Cooking Asshole. I just need you to throw it while Scott and I are getting into the limo....that is, IF you look like a supermodel!
-
Okay, I'm willing to lower my expectations. Even if you're kind of plain looking (unlike myself), and only model for Walmart or Marshall's, that would be okay, too!
-
What about Target or Filene's?
-
-
how about just photoshopping the wedding guests?
-
Doll....that will be my next shout-out if no other models come along soon!
Harvey....People Magazine would never go for a "staged" or photoshopped wedding. They have very strict journalistic standards to maintain, in case you didn't k now.-
ROFL!
P.S. I saw the new issue of People magazine, and the Craigslist Killer is on the cover ! Looks like Scott has some competetion!
-
-
I can't believe no models have shown up yet!
I mean this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
They are all missing out big time -
They must be extremely jealous of me. and worried about the competition once my modeling career takes off. Very childish behavior, if you ask me.
-
those models need to grow up and realize they are not 'all that.'
-
-
Exactly. I can't help it if I was born drop dead gorgeous, you know? They need to get over it!
-
Right on...jealousy is ugly
-
Oh my oh my ... you also had drop dead gorgeous parents like many other models do. What a coincidence. Frankly, you had me fooled -- I would would never have guessed it.
-
-
@Lisa,
It's good to see some media still hold top ethical standards
-
The Craigslist killer is definitely NOT "all that"!
-
Still no models? They must all be jealous of your upcoming nuptials!
-
Yes, it really is a shame how competitive other women are with me! But I can understand how my looks would make them feel insecure.....
-
I don't know that "Craigslist Killer" is quite the looker!
Did you hear his lady left him? What a fair weather lover. -
Yeah, chicks like her give the rest of us a bad name.
-
Looks like I'm the only supermodel on BC!
-
whatever happened to modelelaine?
-
-
Well, sometimes they can no longer afford hormone replacement therapy, their feminine good looks fade and penis starts growing back, and are no longer hired for modeling jobs. So sad!
-
that's a shame
-
L.O.L. Has she been reincarnated as modelerik?
-
-
It is. When I appear on the Jay Leno Show, I'm going to voice my displeasure with the ongoing discrimination against transsexuals within the modeling world. Of course, since I'm 100% all woman, that's one thing I'll never have to worry about!
-
can you tell Jay I said hi? I LOVE his show.
-
Wow. Not only do you look like Angelina- you are also a champion of human rights! You never cease to amaze!
p.s. Have you heard from Scott?
-
-
Okay! I will convey your message to him at our pre-show dinner. Jay is so handsome, too, especially with that chin........and could be a supermodel himself if the talk show gig doesn't work out.
-
Im not a super model..but I have done some modeling
but try IMG, Elite, Next, Women and DNA agencies
www.fordmodels.com/main.cfm
check out this list models.com/agencies/top/
Advice
Make portfolio. Most models create a portfolio they can share with agencies and prospective clients
Look for a photographer
take really good care of your skin and body eat right and exercise
Set boundaries, if you want to make it big don't do pornographic modeling
Also look into differn't types of modeling google these words
(1) Runway modeling and or fashion modeling
(2)Commercial modeling aka catalog modeling
(3)FITNESS MODELING
One more thing try model mayhem..I know not many supermodels are on the site..but it helps build a portfolio...and get a good start
www.modelmayhem.com/ -
I'm going to instantly become a supermodel, and won't have to go through all that. But thanks anyway!
-
Your confidence is inspiring and a breath of fresh air!
-
-
you have to have an agency...and a portfolio no matter how beautiful you are.
