Glamour FAQ's  Answered :

Do I have to take my top off to do Glamour ?

No it’s not essential but it certainly helps. If you are under 5’6 then you may have to though. Some clients look to book glamour girls just because they want more curves. For example many lingerie clients tend to need a fuller bust. Bikinis also look great on glamour girls compared to high end fashion models. However if it is the lads magazines that you are looking to get published in then nowadays it is very hard if you do not do topless, but certainly not impossible. You have to remember that there is much more competition if you are looking to stay within non-topless.

I am 15 can I do topless work for magazines at 16 ?

No you can’t. No editor will publish you until you are 18. 

Can I just do lingerie ?

Yes you can but almost certainly you will need to have a natural bust and no tattoos and be 5’6 +

I want to do glamour because the girls I see (Jordan,  Jodie Marsh, Danielle Lloyd) are all famous and must be earning lots  !

For a novice, ie in the first year, if all goes well you would average between £10,000 - £20,000. If you do topless the earning potential is greater as there are more jobs that you can go up for. But please remember that for every model that earns a great wage there are twenty that are struggling to survive.

I am doing fashion but if I do glamour will that wreck my catwalk chances ?

Catwalk no, TV  yes. If you want to be a presenter then do not do topless.  If you want to do advertising you can still do both. But there will be times that the client is very brand conscious and so doesn’t want to use a model that has done any topless. But hey, you can have it all!

Do I have to have huge bust to do Glamour

34c tends to be the bench mark to get in to glamour modeling nowadays.

What types of Glamour are there ?

Two types, topless glamour and non topless glamour.

Why do I need an agency can't I manage myself online ? 

On another note : I was rather upset by Gok Wan's dreadful labelling that all Glamour models are cheap and trashy in his ridiculous so called Naked Beauty Pageant - - if any pageant judge on our list went up to a girl and said can I feel your bangers are they real - I would personally string them up - Gay or not !
