Hello everyone, my name is Ritta Rose!

I'm 19 year old model currently based out of Tampa, FL who's pretty new to the game. I have high goals for myself with my current giant goal in life being to one day become a Victoria's Secret Angel. Pretty out of reach for me right now but I'm working my booty off to get there! I'm hoping to do many editorial-esque fashion shoots so feel free to message me on here or contact my agent at [email protected] to set something up with me. I'm looking to network with others who are as serious dedicated to their work, and ready to push themselves to the next level as I am.

Hopefully I'll get to know many of you all! c:

Welcome to MM.

You've got the right stats. Why not go to several of the top agencies in NYC and see what you can accomplish?

Well, my mother agency is based in Miami and I'm currently building my portfolio (since it was nonexistent not too long ago) so that I can start going to castings and visit top agencies in NYC.

Besides the scumbags I hear about that sometimes deluge new models, I'm sure you've gotten some significant offers by now. Check references and get to work!

1. The online world is full advice..good and bad...hopefully you can weed out the crap..
2. Tampa is a commercial print market, there are a couple of viable model management companies local along with a bunch of useless "agencies"
3. the NYC market is completely different then Tampa and somewhat different from Miami....some will want you to have a portfolio...some will want to develop your portfolio for you...important to know when and where you need a portfolio..
3. howya doin ~

No worries, I'm in Tampa but my mother agency is based out of Miami. They'll be assisting me with creating meetings with agencies in NYC. And hello~
