I'm 17, and I feel like my height is limiting me to smaller shows. I was fine as a 15 year old: 5'7.5 is a great height for shows. But now, near adulthood, apparently I don't have the height anymore 0.0 what should I do? ps: ignore my port, I lost a bunch of images as I changed computers. Oct 05 12 06:08 pm Link Lifestyle and some commercial work is possible for a 5'8 model with the right look, but realize its even hard with more comp. Oct 05 12 06:15 pm Link Models with Asian features can get away with being slightly shorter than Caucasian models. Your height is not a problem for mainstream work.

Granted, I'm thinking of top models, but still. I'm thinking that a white girl would get the MOST work out of any other race, so why would a height exception be made for an Asian girl?

Your height is kind of programmed into your DNA. Oh, you can take some expensive hormones, but you risk a lot of complications and possibly jeopardizing your health. Is it worth that? Then again, you may have a late 'growth spurt' and wind up 7 feet tall. Are you ready for that? If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Just my opinion. Oct 05 12 06:25 pm Link Your growing is done. I wouldn't give up though. I love your look!

Oct 05 12 06:37 pm Link I've only seen asian models at 5'6 when it's china or japan for the most point sometimes shorter. You still have til your 18 to grow half or a full inch. Oct 05 12 06:39 pm Link Actually if you do some research on the subject, your growth plates for various bones close at various times. Yes, we tend to reach our general height in our mid-teens BUT it's possible to grow a little until you're about 19/20.. Just unlikely.  Oct 05 12 08:54 pm Link Oh I also wanted to point out that this can be an issue based on market. In emerging markets some looks are in much greater demand, if you can travel or get with a good international agency you have a better chance. Think of it as beating the rush, sort of.

Oct 06 12 11:58 am Link I stopped growing around 17, then grew another inch in my 20s. Anything is possible. Oct 07 12 06:17 am Link Mark wrote: ...what?
