I have been wondering for a while. I weigh 125 lbs, my chest is 33, waist-27, and hips-32.  I'm also 6' tall.  Does this cut it? or do i need to lose more weight? Thanks!

LOSE more weight? Is that even possible? No, you need to gain weight.  40R is the desired suit size. I believe 32 for pants.

6'2, 210 lbs.....that is the PERFECT male model size!  What do I know....I only photograph women.....I'd prolly look better at 205 lbs.

Best solution: ask the modeling agencies (you may even be able to find out on their website!)

Hope this helps.

Thank you Sky!  I like myself at 210.  At 205, if I turned sideways I'd be stealth, or invisible....well...almost.  I feel better now.....where's that ice cream?
