Uhhh... yeah... never thought I'd ask this question but hehe...
One of my dreams is to become a runway model. I wanna be one of those beautiful skinny girls prancing down a tiny walkway wearing ridiculously expensive outfits by designers such as Alexander McQueen, Moschino, and Luella Bartley. I know I've got the looks ( I know, sounds conceited but I'm not afraid to admit I'm pretty). The thing is I don't live in a place where I have a high chance of being "discovered", and I don't have a lot of cash on me at the moment. I'm willing to get a job though. So any ideas?

I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau.
I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.

Skinny like those runway models is UGLY!! (I had to say it)Back to your question-you can go to the websites of the major modelling agents in your area and look for open calls. Bring pictures of yourself (one head, one full body shot, minimal make-up), if you get signed than you made it.You can also send in your pictures by mail or e-mail. Good Luck
