"Seventeen readers ask all the time about how to become models, which is why our Bookings Editor David has weekly casting calls at our office (300 W 57th Street in NYC, Fridays at 4pm!), why we had photographers spill the secrets to great modeling when we announced the Pretty Amazing Cover Contest, and why we ask cool celeb girls like Kendall Jenner to share their real modeling advice with you (watch her latest Fashion Diary video). But is a career in modeling really as glossy as the pics? I just read a blog post (written by a model herself) in Jezebel that reminds us to look beyond the surface. It&amp;#039;s about a 10-year-old model, Thylane Loubry Blondeau, who&amp;#039;s getting a lot of exposure in European advertisements and magazines. Do you think this is too young to start modeling? Models have to get used to people poking at them, picking on them, critiquing their every move. As a model, you are the canvas for the stylist and photographer. Models with body peace and strong self-esteem realize they&amp;#039;re more than just a pretty face. But what happens if you start modeling when you&amp;#039;re 10? Can you really trust that the photographers and stylists around you are making the best decisions for you at that age? I&amp;#039;m interested in hearing what you think...are photos like Thylane&amp;#039;s too creepy, too young, too sexy? How do you want to see the modeling world treat girls?
