For some reason when anyone thinks of a model the image of a wafey, long legged woman appears in their mind.  Which is really baffeling, since most models look nothing like that.  Only a very small percent of models work on the runway. 

When a business wants to attract a family, they use images that show regular every day people.  People the average Joe can connect with.  Every single magazine or newspaper you pick up will feature tons of models, and not the runway models we have come to think of.  You see women, men, and children of all shapes and sizes.  It’s the advertisers job to make people feel that whatever they are selling is what is normal, and that everybody has it or needs it. 

Magazines are filled with photos of regular people of all ages, shapes, ethnicities and heights.  So if becoming a model is your dream don’t count yourself out if you don’t look like the women on Vogue or the men in GQ.
