Question: People have always told me I could be a model. I love the business and really want to get started. I've been asking my parents to send me to modeling school since I was about 8 years old but we never had the money. What do I need to do to get started? Should I save up and go to New York?
- Heidi Bolton; Detroit, Michigan

Answer: Heidi,
I know how expensive most modeling schools can be. Don't feel bad about your parents not sending you, several thousand dollars is not practical for most people. For this reason I created an instructional DVD "How Model's are Made". My DVD will tell you everything you need to know to get started. I'd also suggest entering yourself in an Evolution Look model search. You may have what it takes for us to pay for your trip to NYC!
Best,

Question: Hi Paul - I saw you make the model on MTV. When she signed her modeling contract, I felt she was living my dream. I go to school full time and work part time. I can't drop everything to pursue my dream but I want it more than anything. Can you help me?
- Michelle Judge; Bronx, New York

Answer: Michelle,
If anyone can help you, I can! Najah (from MTV) didn't know anything about the business when I met her. I have a host of products and services designed for people just like you. Have you explored the Evolution Look website? I don't suggest dropping out of work or school, especially when you can learn everything you need to know from the comforts of home. You'll feel a lot more confident about changing your career once you have a better idea of how the business works.
Best of Luck,

Paul Wharton
