The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Here's mine...I am a fashion model. And the big secret here is that pretty much any tall girl can be a fashion model. Seriously. If you're over 5'7" they'll probably sign you. You can have the face of a monkey, it doesn't matter. Also, all that stuff about models having to learn how to walk is a load of crap, we make it up as we go along, and to be honest, walking isn't *that* difficult. We eat chocolate. We have cellulite and flabby bits. We look completely boring without makeup on.
Interestingly enough, the most important thing that gets Photoshopped away is excess body hair. Not in my particular case (blonde etc), but with most of the girls in my agency. Just a hint of arm hair is horrifying (and harder to shop away than the roll of fat I have around my thighs).
So there you are: modelling, far less exclusive than we pretend it is.
