Hi Leah here,
I thought that it would be great to share how things go sometimes with younger girls with hopes of making it as a fashion model. Here is what Model Search America talent Gina's mom wrote me this winter.
"Hey Leah,
We contacted Geoffrey Chapman's Agency and Tony Vavroch at Elite in N.Y.
We had positive feedback. Since Gina is only 14, we decided to hold off for a while until she matures a bit. We went with a local agency, Paige Parks in Houston, Tx and didn't get very far because of Gina's Volleyball playing. We couldn't be at 2 places at once. I think she's ready to try again and we will begin the process of picture sending as the agents suggested.
We had a blast at the April 06 meetings in Las Vegas and do not regret one minute of attending. Janice Dickenson was great as were all the staff at Model Search America.
We aren't finished with her modeling career and hope it can help her pay for college.
Thanks for e-mailing us. Jeanne Westmo.."
The story could be different because there was allot of interest in this girl, but here's a perfect example of a young girl and her mom who have decided to let her be a kid for a while and maybe wait till she is older. They would never have known that she had all the right stuff without their Vegas trip.
Leah
