Today, I was waiting in the lobby of a modeling agency for my interview to be a potential model and I was next in line. They called "NEXT!" and I walked in with a smile on my face. They stared at my face for a moment and then started yelling "NEXT". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked into a door on my way in to an interview, in front of the interviewer and a group of people waiting to be interviewed. FML
Today, I went to the mall with two friends. A modelling scout approached us and asked both of my friends if they were interested in modelling. When the scout finally noticed me, she asked if I was their mom. We're all the same age. FML
Today, I had a job interview in a hotel and arrived 20 minutes early. I sat in the lobby practicing answers while watching the elevators. Eventually, the receptionist walked over and asked if I was waiting for someone. I gave her the company name. She pointed across the street. I'd been practicing my interview in the wrong hotel. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my friend. A lady came up to us and told my friend that she could be a model. Then the lady looked at me and said, "Oh... Nice shoes." FML
Today, I went in for I thought would be an interview for a promotion, but turns out there was no interview set up, and they'd already decided who would be the next manager. FML
Today, I was waiting in line at a clothes store when someone cut in in front of me, and the gentlemen in front of me. I shouted, "Hey! Queue starts back here!". He responded by pointing out the "gentlemen" in front was actually a very realistic mannequin. FML
Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML
Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML
Today, I showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML
Today, I had an important interview. On the way there, I stopped in front of a car window to look at my reflection, checking I didn't have salad stuck between my teeth. Having pulled several faces, I realised that there were two girls inside the car, cracking up with laughter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's the industry.

That's the way the business is... don't take it personally. You just don't have the right "look" for them. It's actually very common to be treated like this when you're a model.

YDI. I'm not exactly sure why, but you deserve it somehow. Either you were too ugly, or too conceited, or you didn't prepare for it, or you were dishonest with yourself and told yourself you were hot when you're not, or you put all your eggs in the modeling basket, or YDI simply because you got disappointed because you got rejected from a modeling agency, when modeling agencies reject almost everybody! Lesson: you're not good enough. you're not necessarily ugly, you might even be hot, but you are NOT model material! Models aren't just every average pretty girl you see, or every hot girl. They have to be almost PERFECT. And most girls, even the "hot" ones, usually JUST..DONT..MEASURE..UP!

It is a modeling agency after all...what were you expecting? I mean, you can't take a picture of personality. Anyway, you can probably still model some other part of your body, like your hands or something. On the other hand, they were probably just looking for something else; don't take it too personally.

Not everyone can be a model. Get over it and move on.

It's a tough industry.. so you're going to have to give more than what you already have if you want to make it.

I know just how you feel, One time i went to a modeling agency and they told me exact words "I'm really confused about you being a model, your tall skinny, beautiful, but your face is to fat, lose some weight in your cheaks then talk to me" ... and now, I don't have anytime for myself, because everyday is full of shows and photo shoots, don't worrie, Everyone has their own oppion, don't let what one agency said stop you from becoming a model! :)
