Tyra,
Is the company Proscout legitimate? They have picked my daugher at a Hotel scouting event and want us to pay $795 to attend a convention in Atlanta Georgia to have the chance to meet with up to 40 agents. What do you think?

Hi Tyra,
I took my 4 year old daughter to a ProScout interview and she was accepted to go to a weekend in my city where ProScout flys in many agencies, acting and modleing. They want 800.00 for her to go to this weekend. Do I pay it, has anyone ever gone through ProScout? Are they legit and is it worth it?

Hi Tyra. I always thought of modeling, but people always told me that I wasn't pretty enough or my body wasn't the right shape or build. Do you have any suggestions or anything like that? I would really appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read this. :)

Ok I have been on the models.com website and did the research on there. My tips for people who go to the site. Just look up modeling agencies and post ur free portfolio, but Please do not go to the forums. They claim to be professional but the people (or models I should say) there in the forums are very rude. Just a fair warning.

Hi Tyra,
I love both of your shows. My question is about child modeling. I have a 7month old and I'm interested in possibly print ads for her. Is the process the same as adult models? Any suggestions? Should I just call Ford Models etc?
Thanks in advance, an interested mom.

Hi Tyra! I've always wanted to be a model...but I'm a little self-conscious and afraid. I was offered a job and I turned it down because it didn't seem legit. I don't have an agent and I've never done any professional modeling...but it is something I love. And now I know where to look to find out if it's legit or not! Thank you!!
