#sims 4 carmens way

[disfordevineaux]

What's kind of phone I think each Carmen Sandiego character has:

Carmen: That limited edition red iPhone that came out a few years ago. Because it is red, along with a red case with a red pop socket on the back that keeps.falling.off. It's also mysteriously in perfect condition?

Player: A Google Pixel because he doesn't want to conform to the status quo of phone brands and claims he made it 'hack proof'. He sticks by it and claims it's better than any iPhone or Samsung on the market, but it's really not. And he knows that, we all know that. And no phone case because he literally can't find one for it because no one has a Google Pixel. So why make phone cases for a phone no one has?

Shadowsan: They got him an iPhone 12 Pro, big enough for him to use and see the screen because he has to view it from a distance as, and I quote 'The phone lights make his eyes blurry.' It also had one of those wallet cases mums have on their phones. He left it behind when he went on his sabbatical and got a Nokia brick and an international sim plan just for calls.

Zack: The most disgusting, feral, warped, sticky, crusty and shattered iPhone 6 in white you have ever witnessed in history yet it works completely fine despite the glass you find lodged in your finger when you use it and the centre button that is just an empty hole to the motherboard. REFUSES to get a new one because he doesn't want to lose the headphone jack and claims that apple removing it in the first place was cash grab and he will have no part in it. And honestly dam right zack I am with you there my man stay strong King xx

Ivy: She has a custom made franken-phone that is made up of various parts from all brands across the board. Alot of the parts donated from Devineaux's pile of fallen soldiers that met their doom between the 18-24 months he was actively chasing Carmen/VILE before VILE fell. Literally a beast and has a military grade case that she also crafted which she had tested. It is literally military grade, she has a certificate and everything.

Julia: Currently, a Lavender Samsung Ultra 23 256gb storage. She got it mostly for the cool pen it comes with, and because it's lavender. She updates her phone model every 2 years and sells the latter for almost the same price she bought it for because she keeps it in pristine condition. She's only ever cracked a phone once and it shook Julia to her core. It looked horrific in her opinion, the hair line crack so bad it made her gag when she brushed her finger over it. So now she always has a nice, strong silicone pastel purple case and screen protector over her phone which she cleans regularly.

Chase: He went through 6-7 phones during the 18-24 months while chasing Carmen/VILE before VILE fell. Before then and now after, he had whatever the latest phone was the year he got it regardless of the brand, about every 2-4 years or until it kicked the bucket. During that 18-24 months, he'd walk into a phone store, ask for the latest thing, and be on his way. Most of them died in his care before he even had the chance to take the back plastic off. Now, he's in far fewer situations that indanger his life or phone. Or if he is, takes the moment to hand his phone and wallet to whoever is nearby for safe keeping because he really likes the new one Julia picked out for him (which is just the same model as hers but black). Julia also being the one who made him get a case. He had no idea that phones came with their own clothing options.

Chief: Only uses holograms. But has a landline??????????????

Zari: She once owned a black Samsung A20 with a yellowing clear case back in 2015 before she was declared missing at sea? That's all the information I can get on it my sources tried their best sorry.

Brunt: Doesn't need it because she can project her voice across vast distances. Get her a rolled TV guide and she can blast your message from one side of America to the other 🇺🇸 yeehaw and also because she's scared those 5g mega hd3g Max phone microwave rays will melt her brain if she gets one of those flat things and slaps it to her face like an genz zombie.

Bellum: Has 17 Ipads all with different cases on them.

Cleo: She has other people do that phone thing for her so she isn't sure what kind of phone she has and I don't know either.

Maelstrom: A telepathic link chip he had installed into his brain to connect to cell towers. It doesn't really work... Or do anything... But it's in there so.... Yeah?

Dash: A Samsung flip BECAUSE ITS JUST AS PRETENTIOUS AS HE IS and so he can snap it shut to prove a point. He's been through like 10 of them because he snaps them closed too slay-ily damaging it. No case because I have no idea how you'd even get a case for it?? Like it folds? I don't know.

Paper Star: Lives off grid.

Sheena: A white iPhone 11 with a gold trim case that has a huge crack down the front. The back glass is completely shattered, but it doesn't stop her from endlessly scrolling through those insta reels about reviewing different tanning lotion brands.

Crackle: An oily iPhone with the most humongous case you've ever seen. You could drop it and it would bounce around like a ping pong ball. The grease that covers the lens gives his selfies an air brushed vibe to them that he just loves.

Mimebomb: An invisible 1970s orange rotary phone.

Neal: That mystic purple conch shell with the pull string from that one spongebob episode that answered questions or something. You know what I'm talking about don't make me pull up a picture.

Topo and Chev: They share one phone so covered in stickers you can't even tell what kind it is but its probably an iPhone. It's filled with couples selfies and can only work when permanently charging so it's always connected to a power bank that is also covered in stickers. Ugh.

“Yeah, he’s always been suspicious to me.He always comes home with a suitcase filled with money, yet we live in a trailer park. Every time he calls me, he used a disposable phone, so I don’t know my father real number. He has this ‘biker gang’ called The Hell Riders” “A Biker gang?”Zaiden repeated. I nodded “uhuh, They’re a bunch of anarchists, fucking badass. When I was younger, there were two gangs, it was my dad’s and some other random gang. Every week you would hear some news about a person’s trailers being set on fire because of the rivalry. It was crazy and funny.” I smiled at that memory. Okay, I may be twisted but c’mon doesn’t this sound soo cool! It was like I was living in the 60′s. I looked around the room and I practically had everyone on the edge of the seat listening in. “We’re you in the gang?” Brandon asked, intrigued. “I wished, but my dad told me absolutely not, he said I would have been a diamond in a coal mine. In my opinion, I reckon I would have made a great member, I was down with whatever they had in store” Zaiden was quick to shake his head, he’s hazel looked at me kindly yet his expression was serious. “Your dad is right, babe you don’t fit in with them. Yes, you do stupid shit like they do but you have so much more to offer. And trust me it may look fun from the outside but once you’re in.. you’re in” I tilt my head. I’m lost, are we still talking about my dad or is… now wait, was Zaiden involved in the same thing? Brandon cleared his throat loudly “SO! How about we finally get this movie night started, what movie did you two buy?” “Buy?…” Carmen was frowning “Yeah June, buy like you purchased an item with cash. Please don’t fucking tell me that you ‘forgot’ to pay again” I begin to cackle. “Babe, you seriously didn’t pay for the movie?” “nada” “What about the c-” he whispered “ -Not those either,  I didn’t pay for anything. I was bored! I haven’t stolen or done anything impulsive in agesss. Your freakin probation has been a holding me back from my plans. I have needs!” I argued. Carmen shook her head in shame, Zaiden smiled at me “That’s my girl”

Hey! I’m really new here and I understand if u don’t want to stir the pot by talking ab this but if not would u care to share the political views, blunders, and did-goods that go on with drivers in FE? I want to know just what kind of climate even the more progressive drivers are circulating in it that makes sense?

Hey anon,

I don’t think it’s really fair to pull them out on specifics - especially as these are things I know off the record, so this will be (mostly) without naming names. 

Some of them have what I would call complicated politics. Di Grassi talks about this quite openly so I feel like it’s fair to say he’s socially liberal (and economically tech bro) but extremely nationalist when it comes to Brazil, so has a recursively odd tendency to, for instance, speak out against Bolsonaro politics in terms of climate change or whatever and then also to publicly support other of his policies. In Lucas’ case, I’d say that he is not a good political communicator - and that he trips up on a lot of cultural barriers in terms of trying to present his views on the internet, something drivers have very limited experience doing. In reality, I think he’s genuinely liberal but with this intensely knotted relationship to his family’s loyalties in Brazil and his own national pride and even he hasn’t managed to fully think it all through in a coherent way.

I don’t think any of the FE drivers are homophobic, although some of them would probably say things they didn’t realise were homophobic. The kind of thing that, unless you get decent contact time with us gays, people don’t unlearn and it wouldn’t be meant with any venom. I’ve called a few of them out on it, in the past and when they’ve realised what they’ve said they’ve stopped and apologised.

Some of them would probably call each other out on it, too - FE has a lot more openly queer people in the paddock and organisations than any other motorsport I’ve ever worked in and because there’s no closed doors and shut-off motorhomes, everyone mingles. It’s almost beyond parody to say the street racing series is more metropolitan but it just is.

None of them have ever said anything misogynist to me - occasionally their banter is a little bit locker room but they’re so pathetically not-jocks it doesn’t really land with any weight behind it. Male journalists, to be honest, are much worse. 

I’d say, overall, the drivers think quite a lot harder in Formula E. I don’t know if it’s just that they’ve mostly had career knockbacks and complications or I think the open nature of the paddock does actually make a difference to how much they can be confined to a bubble. Formula E attracts different people and different crowds 

One of them did allege I was the first LGBT person he’d met awhile ago and then when I pulled him up on it in a joke a few months later he said he meant the first openly, in a paddock, which makes more sense. (I had a super aggressively gay haircut for most of Season 4)

The younger ones, in particular, are quite sweet. I know there’s some sort of ‘Mitch Evans is cancelled’ thing because he made a bitchy comment about Carmen Jorda’s racing ability when he was 18 but a) fair and b) he’s 25 now - and probably one of the smartest and more thoughtful drivers on the grid. But he is still friends with Nick Cassidy, who still makes gay jokes on Insta - I’d guess Mitch has picked his battles on that one. Most of us have a few friends where we’re like “oh god no why does Tory Dave turn up to the pub every time” but Tory Dave also did drive you to hospital when you broke your leg at 4am so you just try and avoid politics when he’s around.

I don’t think any of them are raging pinkos but they definitely try to use their wealth and influence ethically, moreso than in some other series. In general, they are quite outward-looking and care about things - some impulsively or disproportionately but they are definitely people who take on causes. 

They’re not ...hmm, how you say... woke but they are much more aware. I’m writing a feature at the minute about masculinity and enforced behaviour in motorsport, for instance and they’re open to reflecting on that. In the past, they’ve been open about talking about mental health and vulnerabilities, things you’d get savaged for speaking about in some series where everyone’s meant to be some emotionally lobotomised gladiator-god.

Actually to give them full credit, some of them are openly left wing - Alex Sims, in particular, springs to mind. (He supported Labour in the last UK election)

So basically: for fairly oblivious dudes who occupy a conservative world, they are extremely thoughtful and progressive. They will totally fuck up, though, because most of them are still taking baby steps. 

A couple of them are just straight-up right wing but that it’s only a couple is quite a statement about the series.

[cleaduvalls]

MODEL

A model (from Middle French modelle) is a person with a role either to promote, display, or advertise commercial products (notably fashion clothing) or to serve as a visual aide for people who are creating works of art or to pose for photography.

Modelling ("modeling" in American English) is considered to be different from other types of public performance, such as acting or dancing. Although the difference between modelling and performing is not always clear, appearing in a film or a play is not generally considered to be "modelling".

Types of modelling include: fashion, glamour, fitness, bikini, fine art, body-part, promotional and commercial print models. Models are featured in a variety of media formats including: books, magazines, films, newspapers, internet and TV. Fashion models are sometimes featured in films: (Looker), reality TV shows (America’s Next Top Model, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency), and music videos: ("Freedom! ’90", "Wicked Game", "Daughters", and "Blurred Lines").

Celebrities, including actors, singers, sports personalities and reality TV stars, frequently take modelling contracts in addition to their regular work.

HISTORY OF MODELING

Early years

Modelling as a profession was first established in 1853 by Charles Frederick Worth, the "father of haute couture", when he asked his wife, Marie Vernet Worth, to model the clothes he designed. The term "house model" was coined to describe this type of work. Eventually, this became common practice for Parisian fashion houses. There were no standard physical measurement requirements for a model, and most designers would use women of varying sizes to demonstrate variety in their designs.

With the development of fashion photography, the modelling profession expanded to photo modelling. Models remained fairly anonymous, and relatively poorly paid, until the late 1950’s. One of the first well-known models was Lisa Fonssagrives, who was very popular in the 1930’s. Fonssagrives appeared on over 200 Vogue covers, and her name recognition led to the importance of Vogue in shaping the careers of fashion models. In 1946, Ford Models was established by Eileen and Gerard Ford in New York; it is one of the oldest model agencies in the world. One of the most popular models during the 1940’s was Jinx Falkenburg who was paid $25 per hour, a large sum at the time. During the 1940’s and 1950’s, Wilhelmina Cooper, Jean Patchett, Dovima, Dorian Leigh, Suzy Parker, Evelyn Tripp, Carmen Dell’Orefice, and Lisa Fonssagrives dominated fashion. Dorothea Church was among the first black models in the industry to gain notoriety in Paris. However, these models were unknown outside the fashion community. Compared to today’s models, the models of the 1950’s were more voluptuous. Wilhelmina Cooper’s measurements were 38"-24"-36" whereas Chanel Iman’s measurements are 32"-23"-33".

The 1960s and the beginning of the industry

In the 1960’s, the modelling world began to establish modelling agencies. Throughout Europe, secretarial services acted as models’ agents charging them weekly rates for their messages and bookings. For the most part, models were responsible for their own billing. In Germany, agents were not allowed to work for a percentage of a person’s earnings, so referred to themselves as secretaries. With the exception of a few models travelling to Paris or New York, travelling was relatively unheard of for a model. Most models only worked in one market due to different labor laws governing modelling in various countries. In the 1960’s, Italy had many fashion houses and fashion magazines but was in dire need of models. Italian agencies would often coerce models to return to Italy without work visas by withholding their pay. They would also pay their models in cash, which models would have to hide from customs agents. It was not uncommon for models staying in hotels such as La Louisiana in Paris or the Arena in Milan to have their hotel rooms raided by the police looking for their work visas. It was rumored that competing agencies were behind the raids. This led many agencies to form worldwide chains; for example, the Marilyn Agency has branches in Paris and New York.

By the late 1960’s, London was considered the best market in Europe due to its more organised and innovative approach to modelling. It was during this period that models began to become household names. Models like: Jean Shrimpton, Joanna Lumley, Tania Mallet, Celia Hammond, Twiggy, Penelope Tree, and Pauline Stone dominated the London fashion scene and were well paid, unlike their predecessors. Twiggy became The Face of ’66 at the age of 16. At this time, model agencies were not as restrictive about the models they represented, although it was uncommon for them to sign shorter models. Twiggy, who stood at 5 feet 6 inches (168 cm) with a 32" bust and had a boy’s haircut, is credited with changing model ideals. At that time, she earned £80 an hour, while the average wage was £15 a week.

In 1967, seven of the top model agents in London formed the Association of London Model Agents. The formation of this association helped legitimize modelling and changed the fashion industry. Even with a more professional attitude towards modelling, models were still expected to have their hair and makeup done before they arrived at a shoot. Meanwhile, agencies took responsibility for a model’s promotional materials and branding. That same year, former top fashion model Wilhelmina Cooper opened up her own fashion agency with her husband called Wilhelmina Models. By 1968, FM Agency and Models 1 were established and represented models in a similar way that agencies do today. By the late 1960’s, models were treated better and were making better wages. One of the innovators, Ford Models, was the first agency to advance models money they were owed and would often allow teen models, who did not live locally, to reside in their house, a precursor to model housing.

The 1970’s and 1980’s

The innovations of the 1960’s flowed into the 1970’s fashion scene. As a result of model industry associations and standards, model agencies became more business minded, and more thought went into a model’s promotional materials. By this time, agencies were starting to pay for a model’s publicity. In the early 1970’s, Scandinavia had many tall, leggy, blonde-haired, blue-eyed models and not enough clients. It was during this time that Ford Models pioneered scouting. They would spend time working with agencies holding modelling contests. This was the precursor to the Ford Models Supermodel of the World competition which was established in 1980. Ford also focused their attentions on Brazil which had a wide array of seemingly "exotic" models, which eventually led to establishment of Ford Models Brazil. It was also during this time that the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue debuted. The magazine set a trend by photographing "bigger and healthier" California models, and printing their names by their photos, thus turning many of them into household names and establishing the issue as a hallmark of supermodel status.

The 1970’s marked numerous milestones in fashion. Beverly Johnson was the first African American to appear on the cover of U.S. Vogue in 1974. Models, including Grace Jones, Donyale Luna, Minah Bird, Naomi Sims, and Toukie Smith were some of the top black fashion models who paved the way for black women in fashion. In 1975, Margaux Hemingway landed a then-unprecedented million-dollar contract as the face of Fabergé’s Babe perfume and the same year appeared on the cover of Time magazine, labelled one of the "New Beauties," giving further name recognition to fashion models.

Many of the world’s most prominent modelling agencies were established in the 1970’s and early 1980’s. These agencies created the standard by which agencies now run. In 1974, Nevs Models was established in London with only a men’s board, the first of its kind. Elite Models was founded in Paris in 1975 as well as Friday’s Models in Japan. The next year Cal-Carries was established in Singapore, the first of a chain of agencies in Asia. In 1977, Select Model Management opened its doors as well as Why Not Models in Milan. By the 1980’s, agencies such as Premier Model Management, Storm Models, Mikas, Marilyn, and Metropolitan Models had been established.

By the 1980’s, most models were able to make modelling a full-time career. It was common for models to travel abroad and work throughout Europe. As modelling became global, numerous agencies began to think globally. In 1980, Ford Models, the innovator of scouting, introduced the Ford Models Supermodel of the World contest. That same year, John Casablancas opened Elite Models in New York. In 1981, cosmetics companies began contracting top models to lucrative endorsement deals. By 1983, Elite developed its own contest titled the Elite Model Look competition. In New York during the 1980’s there were so-called "model wars" in which the Ford and Elite agencies fought over models and campaigns. Models were jumping back and forth between agencies such Elite, Wilhelmina, and Ford. In New York, the late 1980’s trend was the boyish look in which models had short cropped hair and looked androgynous. In Europe, the trend was the exact opposite. During this time, a lot of American models who were considered more feminine looking moved abroad. By the mid-1980’s, big hair was made popular by some musical groups, and the boyish look was out. The curvaceous models who had been popular in the 1950’s and early 1970’s were in style again. Models like Patti Hansen earned $200 an hour for print and $2,000 for television plus residuals. It was estimated that Hansen earned about $300,000 a year during the 1980’s.

The 1990’s to present

The early 1990’s were dominated by the high fashion models of the late 1980’s. In 1990, Linda Evangelista famously said to Vogue, "we don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day". Evangelista and her contemporaries, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz and Stephanie Seymour, became arguably the most recognizable models in the world, earning the moniker of "supermodel", and were boosted to global recognition and new heights of wealth for the industry. In 1991, Turlington signed a contract with Maybelline that paid her $800,000 for twelve days’ work each year.

By the mid‑1990’s, the new "heroin chic" movement became popular amongst New York and London editorial clients. While the heroin chic movement was inspired by model Jaime King, who suffered from a heroin addiction, it was Kate Moss who became its poster child through her ads for Calvin Klein. In spite of the heroin chic movement, model Claudia Schiffer earned $12 million. With the popularity of lingerie retailer Victoria’s Secret, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, there was a need for healthier-looking supermodels such as Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum to meet commercial modelling demand. The mid‑1990’s also saw many Asian countries establishing modelling agencies.

By the late 1990’s, the heroin chic era had run its course. Teen-inspired clothing infiltrated mainstream fashion, teen pop music was on the rise, and artists such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera popularized pleather and bare midriffs. As fashion changed to a more youthful demographic, the models who rose to fame had to be sexier for the digital age. Following Gisele Bundchen’s breakthrough, a wave of Brazilian models including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Ana Beatriz Barros rose to fame on runways and became popular in commercial modelling throughout the 2000’s. Some attribute this to decisions by magazines to replace models with celebrities their covers.

In the late 2000’s, the Brazilians fell out of favor on the runways. Editorial clients were favoring models with a china-doll or alien look to them, such as Gemma Ward and Lily Cole. During the 2000’s, Ford Models and NEXT Model Management were engaged in a legal battle, with each agency alleging that the other was stealing its models.

However, the biggest controversy of the 2000’s was the health of high-fashion models participating in fashion week. While the health of models had been a concern since the 1970’s, there were several high-profile news stories surrounding the deaths of young fashion models due to eating disorders and drug abuse. The British Fashion Council subsequently asked designers to sign a contract stating they would not use models under the age of sixteen. On March 3, 2012, Vogue banned models under the age of sixteen as well as models who appeared to have an eating disorder. Similarly, other countries placed bans on unhealthy, and underage models, including Spain, Italy, and Israel, which all enacted a minimum body mass index (BMI) requirement.

The often thin shape of many fashion models has been criticized for warping girls’ body image and encouraging eating disorders. Organizers of a fashion show in Madrid in September 2006 turned away models who were judged to be underweight by medical personnel who were on hand. In February 2007, six months after her sister, Luisel Ramos, also a model, died, Uruguayan model Eliana Ramos became the third fashion model to die of malnutrition in six months. The second victim was Ana Carolina Reston. Luisel Ramos died of heart failure caused by anorexia nervosa just after stepping off the catwalk. In 2015, France passed a law requiring models to be declared healthy by a doctor in order to participate in fashion shows. The law also requires re-touched images to be marked as such in magazines.

In 2013, New York toughened its child labor law protections for models under the age of eighteen by passing New York Senate Bill No. 5486, which gives underage models the same labor protections afforded to child actors. Key new protections included the following: underage models are not to work before 5:00 pm or after 10:00 pm on school nights, nor were they to work later than 12:30 am on non-school nights; the models may not return to work less than twelve hours after they leave; a pediatric nurse must be on site; models under sixteen must be accompanied by an adult chaperone; parents or guardians of underage models must create a trust fund account into which employers will transfer a minimum of 15% of the child model’s gross earnings; and employers must set aside time and a dedicated space for educational instruction.

TYPES OF MODELING

Runway modelling

Runway models showcase clothes from fashion designers, fashion media, and consumers. They are also called "live models" and are self-employed. They are wanted to be over the height of 5’8" for men and 5’6" for women. Runway models work in different locations, constantly travelling between those cities where fashion is well known—London, Milan, New York City, and Paris. Second-tier international fashion center cities include: Rome, Florence, Venice, Brescia, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Moscow. Cities where catalog work comprises the bulk of fashion packaging, merchandising and marketing work are: Miami, San Francisco, Sydney, Chicago, Toronto, Mexico City, Tokyo, Hamburg, London, and Beijing.

The criteria for runway models include certain height and weight requirements. During runway shows, models have to constantly change clothes and makeup. Models walk, turn, and stand in order to demonstrate a garment’s key features. Models also go to interviews (called "go and sees") to present their portfolios. The more experience a model has, the more likely she/he is to be hired for a fashion show. A runway model can also work in other areas, such as department store fashion shows, and the most successful models sometimes create their own product lines or go into acting.

The British Association of Model Agents (AMA) says that female models should be around 34"-24"-34" and between 5 ft 8 in (173 cm) and 5 ft 11 in (180 cm) tall. The average model is very slender. Those who do not meet the size requirement may try to become a plus-size model. According to the New York Better Business Career Services website, the preferred dimensions for a male model are a height of 5 ft 11 in (180 cm) to 6 ft 2 in (189 cm), a waist of 29–32 in (73.66–81.28 cm) and a chest measurement of 39–40 in (99.06–101.60 cm). Male runway models are notably skinny and well toned.

Male and female models must also possess clear skin, healthy hair, and attractive facial features. Stringent weight and body proportion guidelines form the selection criteria by which established, and would‑be, models are judged for their placement suitability, on an ongoing basis. There can be some variation regionally, and by market tier, subject to current prevailing trends at any point, in any era, by agents, agencies and end-clients.

Formerly, the required measurements for models were 35"-23.5"-35" in (90-60-90 cm), the alleged measurements of Marilyn Monroe. Today’s fashion models tend to have measurements closer to the AMA-recommended shape, but some – such as Afghan model Zohre Esmaeli – still have 35"-23.5"-35" measurements. Although in some fashion centers, a size 00 is more ideal than a size 0.

Plus-size models

Plus-size models are models who generally have larger measurements than editorial fashion models. The primary use of plus-size models is to appear in advertising and runway shows for plus-size labels. Plus-size models are also engaged in work that is not strictly related to selling large-sized clothing, e.g., stock photography and advertising photography for cosmetics, household and pharmaceutical products and sunglasses, footwear and watches. Therefore, plus-size models do not exclusively wear garments marketed as plus-size clothing. This is especially true when participating in fashion editorials for mainstream fashion magazines. Some plus-size models have appeared in runway shows and campaigns for mainstream retailers and designers such as Gucci, Guess, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Levi’s and Versace Jeans.

Fit models

A fit model works as a sort of live mannequin to give designers and pattern makers feedback on the fit, feel, movement, and drape of a garment to be produced in a given size.

Glamour models

Glamour modelling focuses on sexuality and thus general requirements are often unclear, being dependent more on each individual case. Glamour models can be any size or shape. There is no industry standard for glamour modelling and it varies greatly by country. For the most part, glamour models are limited to modelling in calendars, men’s magazines, such as Playboy, bikini modelling, lingerie modelling, fetish modelling, music videos, and extra work in films. However, some extremely popular glamour models transition into commercial print modelling, appearing in swimwear, bikini and lingerie campaigns.

It is widely considered that England created the market for glamour modelling when The Sun established Page 3 in 1969, a section in their newspaper which now features topless models. In the beginning, the newspaper featured sexually suggestive images of Penthouse and Playboy models. It was not until 1970 that models appeared topless. In the 1980’s, The Sun’s competitors followed suit and produced their own Page 3 sections. It was during this time that glamour models first came to prominence with the likes of Samantha Fox. As a result, the United Kingdom has a very large glamour market and has numerous glamour modelling agencies to this day.

It was not until the 1990’s that modern glamour modelling was established. During this time, the fashion industry was promoting models with waif bodies and androgynous looking women, which left a void. Several fashion models, who were deemed too commercial, and too curvaceous, were frustrated with industry standards, and took a different approach. Models such as Victoria Silvstedt left the fashion world and began modelling for men’s magazines. In the previous decades, posing nude for Playboy resulted in models losing their agencies and endorsements. Playboy was a stepping stone which catapulted the careers of Victoria Silvstedt, Pamela Anderson, and Anna Nicole Smith. Pamela Anderson became so popular from her Playboy spreads that she was able to land roles on Home Improvement and Baywatch.

In the mid-1990’s, a series of men’s magazines were established such as Maxim, FHM, and Stuff. At the same time, magazines including Sweden’s Slitz re-branded themselves as men’s magazines. Pre-internet, these magazines were popular among men in their late teens and early twenties because they were considered to be more tasteful than their predecessors. With the glamour market growing, fashion moved away from the waifs and onto Brazilian bombshells. The glamour market, which consisted mostly of commercial fashion models and commercial print models, became its own genre due to its popularity. Even in a large market like the United Kingdom, however, glamour models are not usually signed exclusively to one agency as they can not rely financially on one agency to provide them with enough work. It was, and still is, a common practice for glamour models to partake in kiss-and-tell interviews about their dalliances with famous men. The notoriety of their alleged bed-hopping often propels their popularity and they are often promoted by their current or former fling. With Page 3 models becoming fixtures in the British tabloids, glamour models such as Jordan, now known as Katie Price, became household names. By 2004, Page 3 regulars earned anywhere from £30,000 to 40,000, where the average salary of a non-Page 3 model, as of 2011, was between ��10,000 and 20,000. In the early 2000’s, glamour models, and aspiring glamour models, appeared on reality television shows such as Big Brother to gain fame. Several Big Brother alumni parlayed their fifteen minutes of fame into successful glamour modelling careers. However, the glamour market became saturated by the mid-2000’s, and numerous men’s magazines including Arena, Stuff and FHM in the United States went under. During this time, there was a growing trend of glamour models, including Kellie Acreman and Lauren Pope, becoming DJs to supplement their income. In a 2012 interview, Keeley Hazell said that going topless is not the best way to achieve success and that "[she] was lucky to be in that 1% of people that get that, and become really successful."

Alternative models

An alternative model is any model who does not fit into the conventional model types and may include punk, goth, fetish, and tattooed models or models with distinctive attributes. This type of modeling is usually a cross between glamour modeling and art modeling. Publishers such as Goliath Books in Germany introduced alternative models and punk photography to larger audiences. Billi Gordon, then known as Wilbert Anthony Gordon, was the top greeting card model in the world and inspired a cottage industry including greeting cards, T-shirts, fans, stationery, gift bags, etc.

Parts models

Some models are employed for their body parts. For example, hand models may be used to promote products held in the hand and nail-related products. (e.g. rings, other jewelry or nail polish). They are frequently part of television commercials. Many parts models have exceptionally attractive body parts, but there is also demand for unattractive or unusual looking body parts for particular campaigns.

Hands are the most in-demand body parts. Feet models are also in high demand, particularly those who fit sample size shoes. Models are also successful modelling other specific parts including abs, arms, back, bust or chest, legs, and lips. Some petite models (females who are under 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m) and do not qualify as fashion models) have found success in women’s body part modelling.

Parts model divisions can be found at agencies worldwide. Several agencies solely represent parts models, including Hired Hands in London, Body Parts Models in Los Angeles, Carmen Hand Model Management in New York and Parts Models in New York. Parts Models is the largest parts agency, representing over 300 parts models.

Fitness models

Fitness modelling focuses on displaying a healthy, toned physique. Fitness models usually have defined muscle groups. The model’s body weight is heavier due to muscle weighing more than fat; however, they have a lower body fat percentage because the muscles are toned and sculpted. Fitness models are often used in magazine advertising. Sometimes they are certified personal fitness trainers. However, other fitness models are also athletes and compete as professionals in fitness and figure competitions. There are several agencies in large markets such as New York, London, Germany that have fitness modelling agencies. While there is a large market for these models, most of these agencies are a secondary agency promoting models who typically earn their primary income as commercial models. Plus there are also magazines that gear towards specifically fitness modeling or getting fit and in shape. Fitness Models showcase their fitter side of their bodies on the covers gearing towards specific competitions in fitness and figure competitions.

Gravure idols

A gravure idol, often abbreviated to gradol, is a Japanese female model who primarily models on magazines, especially men’s magazines, photobooks or DVDs.

"Gravure" (グラビア) is a Wasei-eigo term derived from "rotogravure", which is a type of intaglio printing process that was once a staple of newspaper photo features. The rotogravure process is still used for commercial printing of magazines, postcards, and cardboard product packaging.

Gravure idols appear in a wide range of photography styles and genres. Their photos are largely aimed at male audiences with poses or activities intended to be provocative or suggestive, generally accentuated by an air of playfulness and innocence rather than aggressive sexuality. Although gravure models may sometimes wear clothing that exposes most of their body, they seldom appear fully nude. Gravure models may be as young as pre-teen age up to early thirties. In addition to appearing in mainstream magazines, gravure idols often release their own professional photobooks and DVDs for their fans. Many popular female idols in Japan launched their careers by starting out as gravure idols.

Commercial print and on-camera models

Commercial print models generally appear in print ads for non-fashion products, and in television commercials. Commercial print models can earn up to $250 an hour. Commercial print models are usually non-exclusive, and primarily work in one location.

There are several large fashion agencies that have commercial print divisions, including Ford Models in the United States.

Promotional models

A promotional model is a model hired to drive consumer demand for a product, service, brand, or concept by directly interacting with potential consumers. The vast majority of promotional models tend to be attractive in physical appearance. They serve to provide information about the product or service and make it appealing to consumers. While the length of interaction may be short, the promotional model delivers a live experience that reflects on the product or service he or she is representing. This form of marketing touches fewer consumers for the cost than traditional advertising media (such as print, radio, and television); however, the consumer’s perception of a brand, product, service, or company is often more profoundly affected by a live person-to-person experience.

Marketing campaigns that make use of promotional models may take place in stores or shopping malls, at tradeshows, special promotional events, clubs, or even at outdoor public spaces. They are often held at high traffic locations to reach as many consumers as possible, or at venues at which a particular type of target consumer is expected to be present.

Spokesmodels

"Spokesmodel" is a term used for a model who is employed to be associated with a specific brand in advertisements. A spokesmodel may be a celebrity used only in advertisements (in contrast to a brand ambassador who is also expected to represent the company at various events), but more often the term refers to a model who is not a celebrity in their own right. A classic example of the spokesmodel are the models hired to be the Marlboro Man between 1954 and 1999.

Trade show models

Trade show models work a trade show floor-space or booth, and represent a company to attendees. Trade show models are typically not regular employees of the company, but are freelancers hired by the company renting the booth space. They are hired for several reasons: trade show models can make a company’s booth more visibly distinguishable from the hundreds of other booths with which it competes for attendee attention. They are articulate and quickly learn and explain or disseminate information on the company and its product(s) and service(s). And they can assist a company in handling a large number of attendees which the company might otherwise not have enough employees to accommodate, possibly increasing the number of sales or leads resulting from participation in the show.

Atmosphere models

Atmosphere models are hired by the producers of themed events to enhance the atmosphere or ambience of their event. They are usually dressed in costumes exemplifying the theme of the event and are often placed strategically in various locations around the venue. It is common for event guests to have their picture taken with atmosphere models. For example, if someone is throwing a "Brazilian Day" celebration, they would hire models dressed in samba costumes and headdresses to stand or walk around the party.

Podium models

Podium models differ from runway models in that they don’t walk down a runway, but rather just stand on an elevated platform during fashion presentation. They are kind of like live mannequins placed in various places throughout an event. Attendees can walk up to the models and inspect and even feel the clothing. Podium Modeling is a practical alternative way of presenting fashion when space is too limited to have a full runway fashion show.

Art models

Art models pose for any visual artist as part of the creative process. Art models are often paid professionals who provide a reference or inspiration for a work of art that includes the human figure. The most common types of art created using models are figure drawing, figure painting, sculpture and photography, but almost any medium may be used. Although commercial motives dominate over aesthetics in illustration, its artwork commonly employs models. Models are most frequently employed for art classes or by informal groups of experienced artists that gather to share the expense of a model.

Instagram models

Instagram models are a recent phenomenon due to the rise of social media. These models gain their popularity due to how many followers they have on social media. Some Instagram models gain high-profile modeling gigs and become household names. High-profile model, Jen Selter, kicked off the Instagram model craze. Recently, Anna Faith and Caitlin O’Connor among many others, have had great success as Instagram Models.

[ofaquitaine]

super cool character headcanons meme + either ophelia, victor, or pansy, whichever one you're vibing w/!

OPHELIA FOSTER

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod: 1. river, by bishop briggs. 2. work all day, by portugal. the man. 3. hallelujah, by leonard cohen. the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep — where they’re not supposed to: ophelia absolutely can’t fall asleep anywhere but in a bed. she doesn’t trust other people not to steal her things (she watched too many documentaries about tourists getting robbed), and so she’s always hyper aware when she’s around other people; even people she trusts. she does sometime fall asleep on the couch, though, when she’s looking through work documents nonstop and has no energy left.the game they’d destroy everyone else at: monopoly omg. ophelia may suck with rl money, but she’s talented af when it comes to monopoly. she always manages to snatch up the cheapest properties and to build up really quickly, leading to her robbing everyone else. she’s seriously super good. it’s kind of scary. the emoticon they’d use most often: 😭what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep: she laughs SO much. to be fair, though, it doesn’t happen that often because she’s used on going with very little sleep due to her job. still, when she sleeps even less than usual she finds EVERYTHING hilarious. truly, she becomes a mess tm. their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever: ophelia ,,,, hates hot beverages bc she always ends up burning her tongue, which is the feeling she hates most in the world. however, she does make herself hot coffee in the mornings and waits for it to get cold before she drinks it. other people think it’s gross; she think’s it’s prudent.how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump: when she’s down, playing sims usually helps. also, wrapping herself in a comforter and watching psych with a big bowl of popcorn. and eventually, forcing quinn to cuddle up with her. she’s not usually a big cuddler, but she really wants them when she feels down. what they wanted to be when they grew up: she wanted to become an astronaut bc she was super original!!their favorite kind of weather: she loves,,,,, sunshine. but hates really hot or really cold weather. so like, mild weather with sunshine and maybe a LITTLE wind. basically, comfortable af weather.thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?): lmao she’s the worst singer in the world ,,,,, which is why she loves singing in the shower as loudly as possible.how/what they like to draw or doodle: she doesn’t really doodle or draw. maybe sometimes little stars in the corners of unimportant pages, but nothing else.

VICTOR WRIGHT

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod: 1. carmen, by stromae. 2. la valse d’amélie, by yann tiersen. 3. biting down, by lorde. the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep — where they’re not supposed to: oh man, victor will fall asleep anywhere. he’s way too trusting and has no problem falling asleep surrounded by people. mostly, he tends to fall asleep when he’s reading. like, he loves reading, but it still helps him fall asleep. the game they’d destroy everyone else at: pictionary!!!!! he’s sooooo good at guessing what other people are drawing it’s kind of scary. the emoticon they’d use most often: 🌹what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep: he’s so grumpy and he complains about EVERYTHING. nothing can ever satisfy a sleepless victor wright. he tends to sleep a lot, so as soon as he doesn’t get his beauty sleep, he becomes the grumpiest world in the universe. so grumpy he doesn’t even try to woo clara. very grumpy. their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever: black tea!!!!!!!! it’s his mother’s drink and she taught him to love it very early on and now it’s pretty much all he’ll drink except for water. he also drinks it pure without any sugar or milk. he likes his black tea black. how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump: gardening!!!!! he’s not really supposed to, and it is frowned up, but when he’s feeling down, he often goes outside and asks the gardeners how he can help, and then proceeds to glare at them until they agree to let him help. it’s pretty much the only time he allows himself to do it even though he loves it so much, and it always helps make him feel better. what they wanted to be when they grew up: he wanted to become king when he was tiny and stupid lmaotheir favorite kind of weather: he loves light rain!!!!! it’s the perfect opportunity to read and drink tea + it’s good for plantsthoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?): he,,,,, thinks he sings well. he does not. it’s a problem. 

PANSY PARKINSON

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod: 1. horns, by bryce fox. 2. raise hell, by dorothy. 3. celebrity skin, by hole. the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep — where they’re not supposed to: her favourite place to fall asleep where she wasn’t supposed to was 100% history of magic classes. since then, she hasn’t really been falling asleep in places she’s not supposed to. she has been taking very long naps, though, as she’s dealing with not feeling so great. the game they’d destroy everyone else at: 31. it’s supposed to be mostly a luck kind of card game, but holy shit, pansy almost NEVER loses. the emoticon they’d use most often: 😩what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep: everything bothers her. and like, pansy is easily bothered in general, but it gets even worse when she hasn’t slept enough. she’ll find defaults in everything, and will snap at everyone and everything, even people she’s usually nice to. she also becomes very picky with food and leans more towards comfort food that has to be made PERFECTLY to her taste or she complains to the house elves nonstop for a couple of minutes, whereas she usually leaves them alone. their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever: hot chocolate!!! whenever, wherever. pansy has a sweet tooth, and hot chocolate is without a doubt her favourite drink. she especially loves it with little marshmallows in it, and she will fight any and everyone over who makes the best hot chocolate. she KNOWS her house elves make the best one. how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump: aaaaah, pansy still hasn’t found the right thing to do to care for herself when she’s feeling down. and instead of trying to find out, she just tends to get way too drunk and sleep with complete strangers oops. what they wanted to be when they grew up: she wanted to be a teacher!!! which is really weird when you think about it but she was a child so it’s ok. their favorite kind of weather: pansy adores thunderstorms. she loves watching the lightning out of windows and just!!!! she used to be scared of them but ever since she saw them through the hogwarts windows she’s been in love with them.thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?): pansy sings surprisingly well! she has a really soft, atmospheric voice and she mostly sings when she’s drunk bc well she does most things when she’s drunk.how/what they like to draw or doodle: she used to doodle little hearts with draco’s initials inside of them when she was in her 2nd to 5th years in hogwarts when she still had a lil crush on him, and after that she drew lil hearts still but with varying initials depending on who she was crushing on. she also liked drawing mustaches on people in the daily prophet.

How about all questions for Krysta? I wanna know more about this lovely lady.

Of course!!

1. What's their full name? If they're an alien and their name is in their native planet's language, have you thought about what it means?

Krysta Louisa Carmen Louton née Belmonte (She doesn’t include Carmen in her name after her mother disowned her)

2. Say your OC made a playlist on Spotify. What bands would be on that playlist? Any specific genres?

100% Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, and Twenty One Pilots

3. What kind of video games would they play? Any specific titles?

She loves playing the Sims, and also joins Winn and Jonas for a good game of Mario Kart if it happens!

4. What would their favorite cartoons be, and why? What would their favorite characters be?

Winn got her to watch Rick and Morty and her favourite character of all time was Snuffles/Snowball

5. What's their favorite type of weather? Do they like to do anything specific on days when the weather is how they like it?

She likes it when it rains, she once got Winn to kiss her in the rain - it wasn’t that great.

6. If they're a fan of Hot Chocolate, Tea, or Coffee, how do they like either of those drinks prepared?

She likes all three, and it all depends on her mood!

7. What kind of animals would they like as a pet? What names would they give their pets if they got any? If they already have pet's what are their names?

She’d have the labrador with Winn, she’d be opposed to calling it Tigger at first but when she sees how bouncy the puppy is - who’s to deny the name?

8. How does your OC keep track of time? Do they have a planner? A calendar?

She keeps all her dates on a calender!

9. How do they write? Do they write in cursive? How do they dot their i's and j's? Do they have specific ways that they write certain letters?

Kryta’s handwriting is a very neat cursive and she’s proud of it.

10. What's their favorite time of day?

Nighttime, she loves it because she gets to cuddle up to Winn

11. What kinds of foods and drinks do they like? Do they like certain foods to be fried? Do they prefer certain foods to be prepared hot/cold?

Krysta eats healthy food unless she’s willing to spoil herself.

12. If they were an actual character in an animated film or TV series, who would they be voiced by? Do they have a certain accent that the person would need to perfect?

Krysta Rodriguez, everytime I answer this question it will just be the FC I use

13. If you are an artist, and if your OC can draw as well, could you replicate what their artstyle looks like? Or, if you can't, could you describe it?

Probably quite grungey art tbh, but she also delves in the abstract

14. If your OC owned a Tumblr blog, what kind of content would they post?

Comedy, all the shitposts she can finds, she sometimes posts videos of Winn and Jonas doing stupid things. Her followers enjoy it.

15. How do they type? Do they use emojis? Do abbreviate and shorten words?

She types full sentences unless she’s in a humorous mood in which case she’ll abbreviate and shorten everything.

16. If your OC was a film director, what kind of movies would they make?

She’s love to direct a period drama, or even a modern drama.

17. If your OC was a musical artist, what genres would they do?

She’d have a similar sound to Paramore I think

18. What type of singing voice does your OC have?

Again, the FC I’ve chosen already sings, so listen to Krysta Rodriguez and you’ll know!

19. Does your OC like to collect things? What kind of things do they collect?

She has a very small collection of porcelain pigs because Winn’s first present to her was a small porcelain pig.

20. Was your OC inspired by anything? Another character? A person?

Okay so Krysta came around after I created Jonas, Jonas’s FC was Andy Mientus and along the way I found this picture

And this picture inspired me to create the Krysta, Winn, and Jonas trio. I obviously chose the FC before the name and decided to keep her name as Krysta (I’m so original).
