It's hard to judge based on those pics. You don't have any full body shots and they don't look like you're actually trying to model anything. Try taking some pics of you actually modelling something (a nice dress, bathing suit, something...) and then we can give you better feedback.

Get some disposable camera and get someone to take pics of you...full body ones ya know..
A lot of chicks are modeling or calling themselves models, so if it's something you wannna do, just got for it...I've seen a lot of models and I'll be like damn but I can't knock whoever's tryna do their shit..
Just go for it...you've got a cute face, some models don't even look like shit, I'm sure with make up, the right poses...you can do your thing....
Just be realitic tho, you can't make this a full profession! not a personal attack on you...80% if not more of urban models can't do it full time...
Goodluck.

Da Realness is right, you've got a cute face. Those pics are better but I would still follow his suggestion and have someone take those pics for you with another camera. I think you could have some success though, based on what I've seen so far. Good luck.

I like naturaly cute girls and you have that. The right makeup will be a plus. like anything get advise from professionals and study the art. find your confort zone (what works for you) and go for it. You are cute. It's just hard to gauge based on the point of view you want people to critic you on... rather you're modeling meterial verses telling you're cute or not from a pc camera.

Make up artists, get tips from them, when you decide that you wanna go for this, there are a lot of available resources everywhere...just ask, and you can get pointed in the right direction.

this is what you do. Do they have a Macy's or any type of fine department store? Go to the cosmetic section and try to find a black woman. She should be able to set you up right feel me, and please, go to the MAC counter, they'll show you how to put it on and rock it because the y key to makeup is to look like your not wearing any at all. Ok, back to where I need to be.

I think that you are a decent looking female. You could stand to step up the level of pics, meaning your clothing attire and hair do now that is the real.

I don't know if you really speak like you write, but you need to improve your speaking or writing ability. People may get the wrong impression of you and believe me; you will get talked about if you are serious about modeling. Your pictures are not the best, but with professional work; I believe you will look great. You have a cute face, but you need to go for sexy. I have worked with Leo Marshall and Shawn Dowdell and they are great. Call Leo first, then call shawn Dowdell. Oh, Shawn's work appears in some of the Atlanta Dymes calendars.

What Diamond was trying to tell you was that your putting too much effort into typing your slang. I mean you dont have to look cool in how you type. You should be able to speak however you please, but there are time you need to speak, walk, talk, write and pronounciate in the kings english. Let all the imma anmd dere and dat go, try using correct grammer when communication with people. It will get you alot farther than expecting them to accept how you are especially when models come 25 a penny these days feel me?

Honestly, I don't think it matters how she types in here or any other forum as long as she ain't looking for a job in those forums, or contacting agencies typing like that...

Lady Shai you seem to have a cool attitude, you've taken all the criticisms well...goodluck once again!
