Do you think I should still pursue a modelling career now that I'm no longer in the running for CNTM?

Answer 1

Absolutely, YES!

You're an intelligent & articulate young woman with a great sense of humour, Natalie. It's unfortunate that you were axed from the competition for being 'big boned' (gimme an effing break!). You were the most luscious, sensuous and healthy-looking girl on the show. A real winner in my book, and I hope you go far, despite the bad message CNTM may have tried to hammer into your brain.

Regardless of whatever reason you got booted for, the fact you got on the show to begin with is totally the most worthwhile part right there! If they(the people whom choose you) didn't think you had it in you-as for being a model let alone have the absoulout criteria to be choosen from however many other people who would have been in ur posistion, know that you've got something going for you and dont stop here. The door hasen't closed yet, it's yet to open up even more. So go out that door and go after what ever feels right. Nothing will stop you except yourself. You'll make it, weather it be now next month or next year -you'll be be somewhere, somewhere more than where you are now forsure! All the best to you gurl! -If I could be you just for having the experiance and being exposed to what you've seen on the show and have been involved with; thats more than one could ask for- so right there, is your exposure to many people across canada and the globe, not just from being on tv but the publicity on the net etc. (there's always chance that someone might call you up and say hey - ya still want to model eh?) All the best to you !

Answer 3

Absolutely, if that's the path you really want to take. I was pretty upset when you got eliminated, because I know how it is to be bigger than all the rest and told that you can't do something because your body isn't right, and I think that's a really crappy reason to eliminate a talented, beautiful person from a modeling competition. Why not change and diversify the standards of beauty instead of kicking out those who don't fit with it? And honestly, you're not even that off in terms of society's accepted idea of beauty. And you're a hell of a lot more photogenic than Tenika, or whatever her name is. If modeling is your dream, chase it. You may not make top model right away, but if this is what you love, then you should go for it, and eventually, you'll succeed.

Deffinetly go for it. Remeber this is only canada here.Regardless of whatever reason you got booted for, the fact you got on the show to begin with is totally the most worthwhile part right there!

Either way, seek out your passion and chase it with all your strength. And know that I personally think you are gorgeous and would make a beautiful model. Good luck!

Answer 6

I think that if you enjoy modelling and it's something you are interested in as an career, than YES, you should still pursue a modelling career. Just because you got voted off CNTM does not mean it has to end there, it's just a t.v show. Go for what feels right for you not what other people have to say.

Answer 7

Depends...can you take rejection? A LOT of rejection? It is going to a happen all the time in the modelling business and it has absolutely nothing to do with how attractive you are or your worth as a person. It is purely a perception game and whether or not your particular look appeals to or fits the vision of the person judging you. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. Look at the various array of models out there. There are many that I would not consider attractive, but do very well.

If this is something you really want I think you should pursue it, but you will need to have a thick skin and be able to let negativity roll off you and have the ability to not take opinion's too personally.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 8

You did very, very well. As well as any other. All the girls are new and are as anxious as you are. When there are that many new young models competing, the process of elimination can be fairly difficult by the judges every week with such 'green' ladies. It's almost acceptable that surprises are made every week who are no longer in the running, and this time, it just happened to be you. Should you still pursue a career in modelling? We always go where our heart takes us, so it's totally up to you, and if we usually get what we want, will you?

Answer 9

Yes, I think you should still try to pursue a modelling career! CNTM was just an easy way to get in. But you've been on the show, you've had some coaching, and you had exposure. You're quite lucky. If you still feel like you need help, sign up for modelling classes. They would help with your walk and teach you how to pose and stuff. You looked amazing on the show. Remember, CNTM is looking for someone who is the "ideal"...it doesn't make you a bad model, just not what THEY were looking for.

Answer 10

Yes!
You are beautiful person inside and out. Just because the judges of the competition have been over paid to ensure that the industry get yet another cookie from the same old cookie sheet, does not mean that there are not millions of girls and guys for that matter waiting to see someone open the door to the fact that models can indeed have a body. Start at smaller magazines build a portfolio and have a great career!!

Answer 11

Yes, Definetely! I'm what you call, a part-time model analyzer (which means I'm a 17 year old that oogles at models), and I really think you've got the stuff. Not to say more about your weight than what has already been mentioned on the show, I think if you did lose a couple more pounds and lost a little around your face having a more chiseled bone structure you will do awesome. You remind me so much of Jessica Stam, big Canadian supermodel. I really hope you continue pursuing your modelling dream. Best of Luck.
