If you aren’t signed to a reputable agency (Ford,IMG, Elite, etc), don’t work in runway/print( for high fashion or commercial brands), or get consistent work in fashion, you are not a model... the word model has has lost all it's meaning

Every bitch nowadays call themselves a “model” and I’m sick of it. You can just wiggle your butt on Instagram and boom! You're now a model. Get on one or two posters? Boom! Model. If you have a kinda cute face but you're too lazy to get in shape? You're a "plus size model" and still get paid.

It used to be that in order to be a model you had to watch your food, be tall, slender, have a very beautiful face, amazing features and a helluva a lot of discipline. Now having a famous relative or a sex tape out there is all the qualification you need. The word has lost it's meaning.
