Hi Willali, Thank you for that thought. My daughter had a very sensible reaction to not getting the part. She just shrugged, wished the successful girl well and moved on. (But I think it may help me to remember that she just had the wrong colour eyes. I can't seem to help myself from analysing, thin...

Thank you. That is so helpful. My daughter didn't get the part, I don't know whether it was down to this or not but at least if she's ever asked again I can prewarn her as to why it might be, and what to do about it. Thanks again

Then very excited to get the call back, but as it got nearer said she didn't know if she wanted the role (nerves I ...

Sorry, she's 11, 12 in august.

Hi everyone, Just new to the forum and have found it really useful. I would really like some opinions from those of you much more experienced in these things than I am. My dd has been registered with a modelling agency for some time. She's had a couple of paid jobs, most noticably a 2 day photo shoo...
