thank you Mod for sharing this.
It’s a great thing an asian won Ms. Universe.I hope Asians dominate the international competitions this year.
there’s this notion that only “tall” people can be ramp models if you don’t have the height well you can do print at least.
I know some of you will react but in the modelling industry perception is reality.
siguro pa sa local gigs ok na yan but if you really want to go BIG as in international you have to be at least 6′ tall. E. Ford of gency even once mentioned it on her interview. she even said that out of the 500 wannabes who applies to their agency only 1 percent will make it through the 1st stage. the first thing they take note of is height baby.
In Male Pageants they “prefer” taller guys considering everyone of course has the X factor and looks.
I hope his height of 5′10″ will be enough for him to get noticed.
