What to read & watch - Get to know the Modeling Industry (PART 2 - Movies & Series)


Hey again.
This is the second part of the post below this.
I'm sorry this took so long, but I um, had some *work* to do.
So here are some movies and T.V. shows about modeling.

Movies
  Picture Me
This is truly the most informative movie about modeling that you can get. Sara Ziff shows it like it is, and after you see this movie you can decide if you really want this.
You can watch it: at home if you rent it or if you find it online. 
Watch the trailer here 













Girl Model
Beware this movie is pretty haunting. It follows a young Russian girl who is sent to Japan. She is about 13, but the agents tell her to lie and say that she is 15. It really does show the very ugly side of modeling.

Gia
I haven't seen this one, but it's about Gia Carangi so it must be good. It also features Angelina Jolie in underwear. 
Watch the trailer on YouTube















T.V. Shows
Sorry no pictures for this one or it would take the whole page.
1. America's Next Top Model it's nor very realistic, but it's fun to watch. Oh and there are like 50 other variations of Top Model (Australian Next Top Model etc.)
Watch it on: CW TV http://www.cwtv.com/shows/americas-next-top-model/about

2. Models Of The Runway It's a sidekick of Project Runway that talks about models.

3. ReModeled well it's about models, apparently so

4. The Face I love it, really! Three supermodel coaches from whom the contestants can actually learn, Karolina Kurkova, Coco Rocha (big love for Coco) and Naomi Campbell. 
Watch it on: Oxygen every Tuesday. Find out more here.

5. Make Me A Supermodel now this is what I call a good show. ANTM is nothing compared to it. The challenges are well, challenging. It's also very interesting to watch.
Watch it on: Youtube (really) and learn more about it here

6. A Model Life another great T.V / reality show. This is a reality show, no fake impressions about the business nor any crazy-wacko contestants. Plus Petra is super-sweet.
Watch it on: Youtube 

7. The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency I've never seen it, but it's about a supermodel who's opened a modeling agency. It seems to have enough drama in it. Learn about it here.

8. The Model Scouts Following two IMG scouts on their search for models, this show doesn't mess around. I mean guys, it's IMG scouts. 
Watch it on: Youtube 

9. Scouted It's a new show, only about 8 episodes. Basically it's about girls getting scouted and being sent to NYC. Yeah. 
Watch it on: E! Entertainment. Learn more here 

10. The Model Agency What goes on inside a modeling agency? You'll find out in this show. I haven't seen it, and I desperately want to but it's not working. Life's tough. Anyway, you can watch it online here and learn more about the show on here .



Those are not enough? 
Check these ones out too: I Wanna Be A Model, The Model Agent, She's Got The Look, Search For A Supermodel, Supermodel Me, I Wanna Be A Model, The Agency, Be Bench/The Model Search, Mo'Nique's Fat Chance, Model Behavior (the T.V. series).

I Hope it was worth the wait!
Oh and, you're very welcome.
