1. just go and talk to an agent with your parents. they could get you into whatever you wanted.
2. Go to any fashion show in your local area and just jump in front of anyone taking a picture. Soon your name will be the papers
3. look on websites, find an agent!
4. you should look up modeling agencies on the internet. i think there's a modeling site called modelingscouts.com. go after your dream and good luck!
5. Most editorial models, who are younger than 16/18 usually have to be taller than 5"6' or in some cases 5"8'. If the description fits you than the first thing you should do is have some photographs taken, this usually means head shots, profile pictures, and full body shots. From these photos, find an agent who is willing to represent you. Part of the paycheck you earn goes to the agent but having an agent can help you land more jobs, and get into casting calls. Your agent will help you put a portfolio together of some photos taken of you, to show casting directors if your look is right for them. Make sure your parents approve of this because they will be needed in some states or countries to sign the papers for you, and entering this business can get a bit expensive. Also see if this is what you really want or just a phrase because while it may seem like a great job it's a hard one which benefits only maybe in the long run. Most of all though have fun and good luck! :)
6. First of all, you must be the right requirements. -5'8" or 5'7" and taller. - Your bust must be 34C and under, your waist has to be 26 inches and under, and your hips must be 36 inches and under. - You must be photogenic, with a good face, clear of acne or marks. -You also must not have braces. you could probably find some local agencies in Colorado or its capital, but if you're serious about getting into modeling and trying to get noticed you must go to New York and look into the top agencies there. Go to a professional photographer, get some good head shots and full body shots done, and then go to an open call at an agency. Be friendly, and if they don't call you back, it doesn't mean you can't model it just means you may not be what they're looking for at the moment.
