They both had some positive comments about me, they said that I had beautiful eyes, nice posture, and how I was photogenic, but they both commented on my height, which I know, in runway modeling, is one of the biggest concerns, and I am 5'6 and 1/2 inches. This was my first day of trying to start my career as a model..and I feel disappointed already. I don't even feel like going to the other open calls I have listed for the next few weeks...will it get any worse than this? or should I just quit now. I felt so motivated this morning..I think I may have just overdone it. I wasn't aware that it's good to go in with casual but form-fitting clothes, and wearing very little makeup. I actually went in with high boots, a skirt and dressy top..and pretty much went all out with the makeup. I just wanted to look my best... :( I'm so down right now. I guess I will learn to take criticizm better as I go through it, right?

Have you thought about print or commercial modeling? They have less strict height restrictions. You sound beautiful, so how about something that focuses on your face. I would still go to the other open calls, don't be discouraged. You can make up for your lack of height in other areas. And even if modeling doesn't work out, you can still feel great about yourself. Most girls don't even come close to model material.

"They both had positive comments..." That's great!
You should not expect everything to be perfect or exactly what they are looking for on that day. Our own expectations have a way of letting us down.
From your write up, you took away quite a few lessons about future open calls.
Maybe one of the future open calls will work out for you.
People go to many many job interviews and hear alot worse about their talent, education, experience, etc. Some people go to interview after interview, don't get hired, and never get any feedback. You have the advantage of experiencing the 2 from today with instant feedback that you can use, or ignore, or adjust to help you meet your goals.
Don't give up or get down on yourself. Keep your selfconfidence and realize that it was the other people that made the mistake in not giving you a chance!
Good luck ! !

Dont be too down on yourself! I'm a 5'7'' model and i know exactly what your talking about. The reason for my sucess is Barbizon. its a modeling school that does cost money, but its not a scam! i learned so much and was given great opportunity and confidence! The modeling world is cruel so you cant make it unless your tough! Always remember to wear light to no make-up, thats very important!

I think today should be a learning experience. Think about today and see what you could improve ...Pick your fav girl you saw today and try to emulate her style with your own twist... This could get worse if you dont have high confidence... if you are even thinking about quiting it sort of seems like you are not committed to the modeling career.

If you think that what you heard today is bad, then just wait.I'm 13 and I have been modeling for a couple of years and I've heard way worse even though I'm way younger.They don't care how you feel so get used to it.
