Why do models have to be such a specific height? I mean there are people out there with the perfect build & body type who are absolutely gorgeous and want to model, but are totally shut down by everyone because they aren't over 5'9"! I know clothes look great on tall, ultra-skinny models, but what about the others? Couldn't there be a modeling devision for shorter people? Maybe for petite brands or something? I guess I want to know why models have to be such a specific height, how it came to be, and why us others who are "mini-models" can't model. I just doesn't seem fair. I've seen so many girls absolutely crushed when told "Oh, sorry honey- you aren't tall enough. Too bad." Are models in other countries around the world subject to such strict height guidelines? It just seems so wrong!
