Decoding the Agent's Words
Boston, like most medium size modeling market, is very conservative when it comes to communications. Unlike New York City, people here tend to be a bit gentler with their words. They don’t want to upset anyone and they try to mind their manners. Boston is a small town for modeling after all.
Even I (who’s known for my sharp tongue and dubbed the Janice of Boston) catch myself being a bit less abrasive sometimes when talking to models.
Here are a few helpful translations to decode what modeling agents in Boston really mean when they speak.
You’re not right for us. = The only agencies that would sign you are those that will scam you.
You’re a bit commercial. = You’re old and/or short and/or have a receeding hairline.
You need an agent more devoted to your ambitions. = You’re really annoying with all these questions.
How tall did you say you are again? = Don’t lie to me about your height.
Could you get me some more conservative photos to use? = You look like a half naked tramp in Maxim.
Are your measurements still the same? = You’ve gained weight.
Were these photos taken on vacation? = Get professional hair and makeup, and professional photography next time.
Your look is a bit urban. = Less Lil’ Kim and more Britney (pre-K. Fed.).
Have you been tanning? = Your skin is getting leathery.
I wish you all the best. = Don’t ever contact me again.
