What do you think is important in a model?

Imo unique personality, ability to carry herself well and wear the clothes well, good body proportions.

Models should be pretty too!

photogenic, charismatic, have the "look", to be hard working, eyecatching, unforgetable.

You said it so much better than I did.

Yep, Sahara is right, no need to be "pretty" (which is sad, cause models should be beautiful, maybe something to look up to ) these days, look at Sasha, Tanya and Iekeliene.

pretty models can go to do commercials...I think having an "interesting" look is hella more worthy than been beautiful. (Y)

Tanya is gorgeous

A unique look isn't as important as a unique personality. For me Sasha and Vlada and Snejana aren't really unique. They're just not pretty and unconventional looking (actually Vlada is cute). I'd much rather look at unoriginal Doutzen in clothes than them. Unique is Gemma and Lily because they have amazing editorials and they really know how to carry themselves. Sahsa looks horrible in runway clothes imo. I never enjoy looking at her in anything, even if it is a nice outfit, her face and body just ruin it for me. We should def. have more pretty models like Doutzen. And then there are models that are pretty and unique and sexy like Jeisa. Jeisa is perfect.

I can't wait until people realize how ununique and boring these "unique" models really are. Most of their faces are horrible to look at. I can't stand it. More pretty models please.

for me a model should be edgy but beautiful at the same time (like Eugenia, Daria, etc), which is very rare,

personality , classy, a sweet person, energy, care free, confident, diverse,freindly

She's not my absolute favorite but Eugenia is a great model. She has a unique look yet classic beaty at the same time. We need moe models like that. Plus she's very professional, elegant, and has something aristocratic about her. Hana is very professional aswell. I like Eugenia better though. She's more striking to me.

All a model needs is to be tall enough, photoghenic and slim frankly, nothing more, because every model, if she´s beautiful or weir, edgy or special, awesome, skinny, curvy, great or none personality...there are always people who like her, or love her, admire...you know It´s a matter of taste

for me, let me see...I´m seeking some kind of special beauty, something that strikes me...and a great deal of personality too Gisele has it all for me, Alessandra, Daria - she´s SO beautiful that I can´t perceive it...have you seen her naturally?? She´s just...unbelievable!! Eugenia, Doutzen, Miranda, Selita too...Natalia, Tyra, Heidi, Kate, Milla, I could go on and on...

^I agree with you, its the matter of taste...thats why no matter how famous a model is, there will still be haters out there...For me I like Gemma wards, Adriana Lima, Selita, Tyra, Heidi, Eugenia, ale

you said it...it's a matter of taste (Y)

ninanina19- I think Doutzen has a dumb look and I don't enjoy watching her...

I love Doutzen and Zhenya too

you said it...it's a matter of taste (Y)

That's okay. She's not an ideal model to me either but I like her because atleast she's sexy and womanly. I'm tired of girls like Stam and Sasha and so on. They have like one or two good editorials in which several of the poses are very unmodel-like and they're a hit. Honestly they're lucky models like Gemma paved the way for their weird look success.

ya but i do think shows like americas next top model hav ea bad veiw of wht beauty is some of those girls are down right unatracitve and dont have class thena gain tahts my personal taste

Gemma wasn't just "lucky" you know... :trout:

versatility

luck

timing

ability to sell yourself

a genetic freak...and confidence....which usualy comes with.

a good agent

and photogenic

....well that was in the good old days.

now though.

step one...eat nothing

step two...look freaky...unlike any other freak (it helps if you pretend your eyes are about to pop right out)

step three...have zero personality in front of the camera or on the runway (only have it when your at a castig)

step four....eat even less and dont forget to NOT work out because that gives you muscle tone

step five....pray to god that Angelina Jolie doesn't take your place in editorials or ads.

step six...suck up to ana wintour like a baby cow looking for milk (as she decides who is beautiful and successful)

step seven....STOP EATING FATTY!

step eight...avoid the sun as it might bring life to your face

step nine ...look bored a lot.

step ten...eat just enough to stay below the radar.

Gemma wasn't just "lucky" you know... :trout:

I don't think Gemma is lucky. I love Gemma!!! She's my close number 2 right behind Jeisa. She was unique and she was a great model, the other copies of her are horrible. They're just lucky she's so great is what I meant. The difference with Gemma and these other clone alien models is she does have personality and her editorials stand out. She can transform herself into anything. The clone models just try to look as weird as possible and they get work. I yawn at their editorials.
