The Truth about Tyra Banks and Modeling

We confess, we love to watch America’s Top Model. Its so fun to see the girls in the glamorous and not so glamorous settings, and how they can be transformed from a gauntly teen to a sultry vamp with some great hair, makeup and wardrobe. What is it about Tyra Banks’ reality show that has us all fascinated about the inside scoop of the modeling world?

There is a good chance that you know someone who either wants to be a model or wants their kids to model…but where do you go to get advice on the how, what and where of it all?

Meet Judy Goss, former Ford model/agent and author of the soon to be released book, How to Break into Modeling for Under $20.00.

Judy Gross, model and author

Judy has worked in and around the fashion industry for over 20 years, and was surprised when so many people when learning of her past, always had so many questions about how to get into modeling. Moreover, Gross was shocked and disappointed to hear many horror stories of people getting ripped off by so called “agents” and “photographers” who made false claims and took their money with no results. This, and her love to help others, inspired  her to write a book that would bust the all the myths out there about how to get into modeling.

“It’s really not that hard to get into modeling, no matter what your age or size. What most people don’t realize is that you don’t need to spend money on pictures or classes to get representation with a modeling agency. The agents actually prefer people NOT to spend money!”

This passionate mom of twin two year old girls, is committed to her mission to educate the public about getting into modeling that she also has a blog called, Modeling Advice: From Breaking In to Staying In , where she answers questions and give tips to those interested in modeling as well as parents of model wanabe’s … and best of all, its FREE!!

So all you gorgeous fashionistas out there, check it out before you shell out any money and find out if you might have a new career out there ahead of you! (BTW…there is even a section for modeling if your over 40!)

Judy is currently the booking and casting editor of More Magazine. Be on the look out for her book to come out in the summer of ’08, and our upcoming teleseminar with her!
