How can you get into Alternative Modeling?

Nov 10 11 03:21 pm Link Have a strong personality and alternative look, and network like mad/work your butt off to get gigs. Same as you get into any type of modeling.

I am "alternative" in everyday life too, despite having no tattoos and only one piercing (and no plans to change that). I do have pale skin, black hair and Bettie Page bangs, though Natasha Ferguson wrote: FOILED AGAIN. I just saw it said "Nov" and assumed it was recent... Nov 10 11 04:08 pm Link Approach it as you would any other genre. Look the part, have wardrobe for the part, and know how to emote the part. I am generally hired for my "cute" look; but day-to-day life sees me wearing varying styles of clothing ranging from Rockabilly to Grunge/Goth to Victorian. I am not defined by what I wear nor how I model. *shrugs* Nov 10 11 08:55 pm Link __noir__ wrote: Woah, catty much? Nov 10 11 10:49 pm Link I make plenty.

Nov 13 11 09:48 pm Link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_model "Alternative modelling is a branch of the modelling industry that features models who do not conform to mainstream ideals of beauty. Alternative models are often niche-specific, with a personal style that represents subcultures like goth, burlesque, latex and fetishism. An alternative model may for example be tattooed, pierced, or have distinctively subcultural hair (shaved, dyed a distinctively unnatural colour, or in dreadlocks). Alternative modelling can be clothed or unclothed. Alternative modelling was given substantial mainstream media coverage in the last decade, partly through the creation and popularisation of community-based alternative modelling sites, like GodsGirls and SuicideGirls. Alternative modelling community sites promoted their models for their personality as well as for their looks and portfolio."
