Glamour modelling

A look at the glamorous and not so glamorous worlds of glamour modelling, if you want to follow in the footsteps of Jordan and be a glamour model then this might help.

Glamour modelling is often seen as a fast track route into fame and fortune. Many aspiring models have seen the stellar careers of ex-glamour models like Katie Price as a brilliant career path to follow. I mean you can have money, attention, thriving businesses, all with the absence of intellect or emotional stability! Seriously though there was a boom in the exposure given to glamour models in the mid-nineties with the explosion of lad's mags and the expansion of mild titillation into society. People have cited the lifestyle of a glamour model as both an expression of feminism and the commodification of women, so it seems that people can read into this what they will. The standard type of women featured as Glamour models tend to have large, surgically enhanced breasts, blond hair and airbrushed features, creating a pseudo-realistic, vacuous archetype for young men to fantasise over, encouraging a false notion of power in young men, and the idealised idea as women as easily accessible sexual objects. Many publications were sold on the idea of model as product and this offered an opportunity for great exposure to the product (model). If you would like to bag yourself a footballer this career path will help you no end, but as you might expect this is a very competitive market. It is not a wise move to undergo surgery in an attempt to model yourself on the safe fantasy of transient markets as everything changes with time. If you want to test your prospects for a life of glamour modelling, be careful as many people will be out there to take advantage, the modelling itself should be professional and like any other form of photo shoot should include details about what is expected.
