Alantae Berry is an inspiring 4'11 model with a big dream. I had a passion for being in front of the camera since I was a little girl. I remember putting on heels and strutting through the house as if I was on a runway. I have always been petite for my age, but I was determined that one day I would be a star. The average height for American women is 5’5 and the qualifications for modeling is between 5’8 and 5’11. Fashion industries have these strong preferences and A study done in 2002 showed that among top editorial fashion agencies in Los Angeles and New York only 4% of the models were below 5’8. My hopes were once shot down when I was told that I wasn't "tall" enough to model. Petite fashion modeling is almost non-existent except at the very lowest levels of the industry, …show more content…
Sometimes shorter models get jobs as fit models, or in mall fashion shows, but there is very little opportunity in fashion modeling for smaller models. There is at least one current legitimate model agency in New York City that has a petite division although it is a commercial fashion/commercial print agency and not really a high fashion agency and the girls are mostly commercial print oriented. Even in that agency, the majority of the petite models are 5'5" or over, and some are as tall as 5'8", which is already considered average and not really “petite”. They suggest to us that a girl who does not meet the height standards for a fashion model should not spend a lot of time, effort and money pursuing that goal when the probabilities of success are so very low. Society forces young women to believe that the idea of a perfect woman is very slim and tall, but beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes. I may be small however I have a greater vision that no one can snatch from me. Nobody should feel discouraged or feel bad about themselves for not being the ideal height of perfect or not fitting

Could you please assist me? My associate was reviewing appeal # APP-2018599 that was completed by Priscilla Wilkerson. She notice that all the claims checks were suppressed when they were not advised in the SOW to processed this way. In order for all 18 claims to be reprocessed, Danielle has been advised to redo the SOW. Since, this was not her error, I think that these claims need to be reprocessed again correctly by Priscilla or another claim analyst. Could you please review and advise? Attached is communication from Danielle trying to get assistance from Priscilla regarding the mistake that was made and Kishma advising of next steps.

I am a teenager girl and I deal with the pressure of trying to have the perfect figure, clothes, and makeup. I look at magazine covers, I watch tv shows, I see models and I desire to look just like them. I understand that the pictures are photoshopped and that no one really looks like society displays them, but I still wish I could look like that. A couple of years ago, I modeled for Carolina Talent in Charlotte. The girls surrounding me were skin and bones. They had physical health problems due to their eating disorders. I never once considered not eating or dieting to lose weight. I have always been a fairly skinny person, I was even made fun of in middle school for being “anorexic”. When I told the kids at school that I was modeling a kid came up to me and asked me if I threw up after I ate. The atmosphere of modeling was not for me. I no longer cared about it, because I hated the image it was giving me. Women underestimate their own beauty. I think that society would be a much better place if everyone understood that someone else's beauty is not the absence of their

. People come and cut down the trees that the orangutans live in just for palm oil.
Everyone is special and unique in their own way. No one can change the way someone looks and acts. So why let the modeling industry change the way someone should look like. People can not let the modeling industry have an affect on them to where they have eating
When Victoria’s Secret is allowed to have models prance around on screen but Lane Bryant Ads (lingerie for plus size women) is banned then there’s a problem. The media is portraying these models who are thin to the point where it is unhealthy. And the media is feeding society lies. A perfect example is of Gerran Tyler. Tyler was a 12 year old supermodel. She walks the run way for clients like Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, and Betsey Johnson. She’s tall, thin, the perfect model because she hasn’t hit puberty yet. She walked during New York Fashion Week and posed for these designer brands advertisements. This body type is unachievable for almost all adult women (Roberts). Somebody in their twenties or thirties doesn’t have the ability to look like a twelve year old girl, but this is how these designers are telling us to look. Tyler had an amazing career and high expectations but the fame didn’t last long. As she got older and hit puberty she began to develop boobs, hips, and curves. She began getting less and less bookings. Her supermodel career was virtually over. “Eighty percent of 10-year-old American girls say they have been on a diet” and the, “Number one magic wish for young girls 11-17 is to be thinner” (Missrepresentation). This self-esteem problem with young girls is a result of these unobtainable ideas of beauty. Jennifer Siebel, creator of the documentary Missrepresentation, says
In society today, being a tall girl is bittersweet and something constantly drowned in stereotypes. If I had a dime for every time I’ve heard someone comment on my height, I’d be rich. Regularly, I’m asked whether I play volleyball or basketball, along with hearing the classic “you’re tall enough to be a model” comment. Over the years, being tall has both increased my confidence and torn it down. At times it signified respect, being “grown up”, and a sense of security while other times it only brought on overwhelming feelings of clumsiness, not feeling as feminine and always being seen as “different.” Despite my family’s best intentions and the supportive friends that surrounded me, I still struggled with insecurity over my height. However, I’m learning something. Something that is transforming my mindset and, as a result, altering the
This reading is very helpful because it highlights the different stages adolescents go through in their preteen years. It also highlights how the gender of a person can really affect how they develop mentally. When children reach the age of “ten to eleven they begin to challenge their assumptions about the world,” their mental development grows alongside their physical development. Girls (or female bodied people) develop physically at a much faster rate than boys (or male bodied people), these sudden changes can become a struggle for everyone in the classroom. For the female bodied people the sudden onset of menstruation changes their lives, the presence of puberty makes female bodied persons emotional sensitivity and volatility increase. The classroom becomes separated naturally due to the noticeable natural changes occurring in female bodied and the lack of changes occurring in male bodied people. Male bodied people observe the changes of female bodied people and stress about when their own change will take place. At the ripe age of 11 girls begin to form exclusive cliques, this can lead to drama as the exclusion can seem cruel in some ways, it is vital for teachers to have a good balance between watching and interfering with these cliques. This is important because the adolescents can grow from the conflicts that emerge within these cliques but if the situation is being handled in a negative manner it is time for the teacher to
