- You've got some good features.
Your facial hair, your big, broad shoulders.
Listen, is he going to be doing high fashion? No.
Is he going to be in a ad when you walk into Home Depot
and he's the guy who's loading up the big truck?
Absolutely.

- [Interviewer] Tell me what you're doing here today.
- Today I'm going to determine who's going to be marketable
for modeling in the fashion industry.
- [Interviewer] How do you measure someone's attractiveness?
- I've been scouting models for several decades now.
I'm going to be looking at height first, size second.
Not are they good looking, everybody's good looking
in their own way.
I'm just here to determine whether or not somebody
can make money doing it.
- [Interviewer] How much would you say that differs
from how you find people attractive?
- Night and day.
I definitely have my own specific type
of what I find attractive.
That doesn't necessarily mean that that's going to work
within the fashion and beauty industry.
- [Interviewer] All right, go ahead and bring
the first person in.
- Get over there and hit your mark.
Give us a spin.
Nobody comes out wearing that outfit and isn't trying
to show off and make sure that everybody sees her.
How long did it take you to do that hair?
- Five minutes. - And the makeup?
- 20. - Hm.
Have you ever had any plastic surgery done?
- Yes.
- I'm no stranger to Botox either, so great.
- We love Botox.
- Would I find you attractive? Yes.
Well put together, polished, clean, slick,
looks like she's in charge, probably a good solid eight.
Yeah, I think you're beautiful.
- Thank you. - Especially when you smile.
I might change that lipstick color
to a little bit more of a natural,
but other than that, she's golden.
Howdy. Tell me all about you.
- I'm 37, I'm single, currently I'm a bartender,
but I have like an extensive IT background.
I like football, I like beer.
- All of these things I probably would have guessed
just by taking a look at him.
I would put him at a five, with a little bit of work
he might be able to get some background work.
You've got some good features.
Your facial hair, your big, broad shoulders.
Listen, is he going to be doing high fashion? No.
Is he going to be in a ad when you walk into Home Depot
and he's the guy who's loading up the big truck? Absolutely.
Does that make you feel good, bad? How do you feel?
- At this age now, I'm very comfortable
in my own skin and kind of who I am.
- Typically, people who are very comfortable
with themselves do great in the fashion industry
because they can go right up and just be themselves.
- Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
- Yeah, absolutely.
- How's it going? - That's a yes. That works.
Have you ever walked on a runway?
- No. - Now's a good time to start.
Ready? Go.
Excellent. Shoulders back.
That's fashion.
Have you ever worked in the fashion industry?
- Nope. - Never even tried?
- Not, not, not really. - That height, that size,
the muscle tone, broad shoulders, small waist, long legs.
Everything is pretty much symmetrical,
I wouldn't really lose any weight.
Yeah, I'd give him a 10. - Wow.
- Absolutely. Somebody would book him.
Hi there. - Hi.
- How old are you? - 26.
- What's your name? - Tyler.
- You do have a great face.
Those big giant brown eyes.
I like that you've got the scruff going on.
I would say if you were going to get into this industry
you would need to grow a little bit taller,
especially with the hair.
It's a little bit on the severe side.
So I would say just because of the height,
bookability market factor is going to be at about a four.
- What about appearance wise?
Appearance wise, with that smile,
that energetic laugh, and just the magnetism,
yeah, I'm sure you're a magnet, I'm sure you get some.
Single, married? - Single.
- Not for long, you'll be fine. You'll be great.
Yes. - Okay, great, thank you.
- Hi. - Hi there.
- What's your name? - I'm Joanna.
- Have you ever tried to get into this industry?
- I have not, no.
- In this industry because of your height,
that's going to be the first thing
that's going to take you down, but the size is great.
Measurements look good. You're petite.
We don't say short, she's fun sized.
I think if you were going to get into modeling, sure.
Change up the hair color.
Can I see you without the eyeglasses?
Excellent.
If I was going to rate her based
on whether or not she would get booked in this industry
it's going to be on the lower side.
I'd probably put you at around a four on marketability
for getting booked on jobs.
Do I think she's adorable and pretty and has a great smile?
Yeah, when she smiles, you definitely light up the room.
You seem like you're the girl that goes, I like green hair.
I'm going to have it whether you like it or not.
- Yeah. - Excellent.
Hi. - Hello.
- She's one of those girls that when she walks into a room
with a big old smile, you automatically will like them.
Not sure about the Harajuku hair, but other than that
she's got a good little look to her.
- Thanks!
- Go ahead and take off the scarf if you could.
And can you remove your glasses?
- Yes.
- Pull your hair back so I can see your face shape.
You did teen modeling when you were younger, I'm sure.
- I did audition for a commercial
and they told me my fingers were too chubby.
They saw me at a mall and I just bought
a white shirt and showed up.
- Okay, anybody who's ever out there at a mall
and somebody jumps out of a bush and says,
oh, be in my ad, run real fast.
If I had to go on a number of bookability
I'd go with about a six or seven.
I think there's certainly work out there that you could do.
I don't know that it would be
in high fashion, but commercial fashion, for sure.
- Thank you. - Thank you!
- Okay. Thank you.
- Nice meeting you. - You too.
- Hi. - Hi there.
If he came into the agency on a scouting day,
chances are I would select him.
This is a guy that you would see
in a Calvin Klein fashion show, walking down the runway
in nothing more than just a Speedo.
Let's take a look and see how your walk is
and then we can determine whether or not
maybe a runway might be a good thing for you.
Can you smile?
Okay. Lot of work do on him for runway.
I mean, listen, if we lost the pajama pants
and the extra large jacket on him,
he could absolutely go out to clients with a good haircut.
I would probably give him a nine right now.
You easily could work in this industry
with the right photographer, the right styling,
the right hair and makeup, yeah, absolutely.
- Thank you. - You got it.
- Nice meeting you. - You too.
I'm going to scout him later. I'm signing him on.
You're going to be an easy one,
'cause you're already adorable.
High cheek bones, nice, good skin. Smile for me.
Yeah. Great teeth.
You're definitely curvy in the hips measurement.
Okay, can you go ahead and spin around for me?
Some people have those curves
and they're not quite sure what to do with them, okay?
If I was going to get you into modeling, I would say
let's take out the piercing, go for the big curls,
keep everything great on the face.
I don't mind the scar.
Everything can be taken care of through Photoshop,
but we want a number of what's marketable.
I'd easily just say five.
It's not too high, it's not too low.
You would definitely be able to work
in the petite market in a certain city.
But no piercing
- [Interviewer] Any final thoughts?
Anything you'd like to say?
- Modeling is always evolving. Modeling is always changing.
It's been in this evolving process
for about the last 20 to 30 years,
and it's finally getting to where it's actually accepting
of everybody, all heights, all sizes, all measurements,
all looks, all ages as well.
- [Interviewer] Why has that changed?
- I think the market has realized that women
with curves, women with real sizes, they are the majority.
They need to be seen and they want to see themselves
in those ad campaigns.
- [Interviewer] All right, thank you.
- That's a wrap! Woo hoo!
