The Truth About “Model Chicks”

It seems like everywhere you look nowadays some new female is popping up calling herself a “model chick.”

Me: Hey how are you?

Her: Im good.

Me: What do you do?

Her: Im a “model chick.”

Me: I’m sorry….but what does that mean exactly?

Her: Uhhhhh? Hmmm? Well, actually…..Ummmm?

If I hear this one more time I’m going to vomit! What exactly does that mean? What on earth is a “model chick?” When you say you’re a “model chick” does that mean that’s how you sustain your living? What the heck does it mean?

I had to get to the bottom of this and find out what the hell women are referring to when they label themselves as such. Well, after some digging and talking to those in the know I finally have found out what it means. Are you ready to find out what it means? DRUMROLL PLEASE………It means, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Yup you read that correctly, it means absolutely nothing.

Let me help you to understand what this says about you if you are in fact one of these women that have been running around calling yourself a “model chick.” To start, calling yourself this says a lot about you. What does it say about you? It says right off the bat that you haven’t a clue as to what you direction you’re headed. It says that you don’t have a clearly defined goal for yourself. It says that you are not serious about what you do.

Granted, everyone has to start somewhere, but there is so much nonsense out there and so much terrible advice that as someone new to this industry you have to be more than careful as to what you choose to accept as your modus operandi. A ton of girls see the few success stories and want to follow in their footsteps. Even more beginner girls see the women that talk a big game, calling themselves “model chicks” that swear up and down that they’re doing something and aren’t really doing anything at all, and they end up following in those footsteps. They see these girls throwing out the names of such and such party that they went to, and such and such event that they attended, and they swear that these “model chicks” are doing it big as they say. The truth of the matter is that anybody can get into the celebrity parties and private events. It’s not hard to do.

Let me tell you a story: A few years back while I was still in college, one of my good friends asked me if I wanted to be a valet for the day at an NFL players birthday party. My buddy always had the inside pulse on all the private events going on and I figured I could spend the day driving some really nice cars, make some great extra money in tips, and get a few words in with some sports types. (Ya see, it’s not hard at all to get into celebrity events….even for a college kid So anyway, we get there before the party actually started and had a brief rundown of what our responsibilities were for the all day event. Im in college, I get to see some of my favorite sports stars, drive beautiful cars, and earn tips. Nothing could be better. So the day starts off great, the party attendees are showing up to this beautiful country estate and willingly handing over the keys to there $150,000 vehicle to me. Everybody was extremely cool and polite. Well let me rephrase that, all of the sports stars and business people were nice and polite. Im a very outgoing person with a great sense of charm and I ended up having some great verbal exchanges with some really cool influential people.

Everything went smoothly until the “model chicks” showed up. It amazed me that they all pulled up in cars that look like they had been in a high speed police chase that didn’t end well. And when they got out of the car they gave me nothing but attitude. They just had nasty attitudes. And then when I would get into their cars to go park them they all smelled like they had dead bodies in the trunk. There’s nothing wrong with a broke down vehicle, but at least you could get it detailed before going to such an event. Everyone of these “model chicks” had on the most scandalous outfit they could find. The more they showed, I guess they figured the more attention they would get. But is that the right kind of attention, especially when you’re outfit just screams cheap? There were a couple music video executives at the party so I guess they were trying to get their attention. I guess whatever works. My only problem was that they just looked tacky. Their whole aura was tacky. And the had the nerve to show up with this attitude that was uncalled for.

After the party was over there were a good amount of people still hanging around and since we were technically finished working we got to roam free at the party. That’s when the serious fun started. (I’ll save that story for another day) I had a good conversation with one of the video execs that was at the party. We actually started talking because of a comment I made about one of the girls there having a major attitude when she rolled up in her Bonneville that didn’t even have hubcaps on it. I asked him whether or not these girls actually get his attention and make it into music videos. His answer was a resounding Hell No! He said only a select few ever make it to featured girl status. He said you can spot a superstar a mile away. He said you can spot a girl that you don’t want to waste your time on from 2 miles away.

My point of this whole story is don’t get caught calling yourself a “model chick.” It sends the wrong signals. it shows that you’re not focused at all. Since my college days and having entered the workforce and dealing with casting and everything else, I can tell you without a doubt, “model chicks” don’t make it to where YOU want to be. They are more than happy calling themselves model chicks and having everybody on their level think that they are doing something. Don’t fall into this trap. Rise above the rest….It won’t be hard.

I know more than my fair share of “model chicks.” The model chick stigma has given them a false sense of success. They brag about having an upcoming photoshoot with this person and that person. Who cares? Nobody. They brag about a celebrity birthday party that they just went to. Who cares, everybody and they’re momma was there at the same party. They brag about the new magazine that they’re in. Who cares, you’re bent over half naked and the picture is terribly over exposed and the highlights are way overblown. So you’re not actually in the magazine, your ass is in the magazine. And the magazine is some tacky hood magazine that 12 people look at. And you’re bragging about this why exactly?

Don’t become a statistic. Model yourself after those that have done it successfully. It’s not hard. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Stick to the basics and build up your brand.
