WELL,
I'm sure most of you who know me on facebook already know this, but for the past few days I've been a little off than my usually cheerful self. The reason for this is that I got called by a nice agency in louisville and after a VERY brief conversation that went like this;

Her-"Hello? Rose?"
Me-"Yes? Hello :]"
Her-"I'm calling to let you know that we got your telephone message, and I was hoping to find out how tall you are."
Me-"Thank you for getting back to me so quickly."(I pause for a second pondering if I should lie at this point about my height and ultimately decide to tell the truth.)"Oh, I'm 5'7"."
Her-"...okay, and how old are you?"
Me-"I'm 18."
Her-"sorry, but that's not tall enough, we are not interested in representing you."
Me-"......okay...well, thank you."

So yeah, they didn't even look at my portfolio, they didn't care.
I'm not 5'9" so I can't be represented by them.

I even sent them a followup email with my portfolio link and everything and got the same response.



Any tips?

I NEED some more work and notoriety if I'm going to keep up modeling, and I thought getting an agency would help. I've submitted to three, but I've got a NO with that one, an almost definite NO with another one that hasn't contacted me yet, and the last one also seems unlikely.

So, does anyone know of how to grown two inches taller or a good agency that will promote me even if I am a short model?

Thanks, you guys...
