Female Photography and Bimbo Models
Author: Sharon Elrod
Article:
Bimbo models are a dime a dozen and will never succeed. And they
will never know why.
The focus in our beauty-oriented world is on physical
attractiveness, and models certainly need to possess that
attribute. Think about how much you enjoy looking at attractive
men and women. You will be glued to that beauty as long as it's
in eyesight. You will think about or comment on specifics...
beautiful hair or eyes, handsome physique, beguiling smile. But,
as we had said many times, modeling is so much more than just
looking good.
Bimbo-ism is a state of mind. Although the word initially
referred to men (male baby or very young child), common usage in
the last century in the English language referred to women who
are totally focused on physical appearance and neglect other
parts of their persona. The Bimbo-model believes the only thing
important about her work is how she looks. She couldn't be more
mistaken. The exaggerated value she puts on her physical
appearance stifles the other requirements necessary for
successful modeling.
So what IS important for models to consider in developing their
career? We suggest the Body-Mind-Spirit concept that has proven
so helpful in other life arenas. And we wouldn't necessarily put
'Body' first in that threesome.
First, recognize the value of your Mind. Develop interests
outside the modeling world. Read something other than
modeling/beauty magazines. Stay in touch with what's going on in
the world so you can keep 'Body' in its appropriate place. The
successful model projects a serene sense of knowing what's
important in life, where he/she belongs in the world and finds
that place good.
Second, stay in touch with your 'Spirit'. If you don't know how
to do that, read. Some will find Spirit through organized
religion. Others will not. Learn to meditate. Develop your
Spirit-life so that no matter what outside events you encounter,
your Spirit will help you understand those events and deal with
them. Life is never fair and it's not always happy. Your Spirit
supports you during the tough times and creates a strength that
sustains you throughout your life. The 'Spirit' of the
successful model can be seen on her/his face. It glows.
Third, take care of your Body. Yes, physical beauty is
important. And beauty is defined in many ways. Don't limit your
attractiveness to sex appeal. Exercise regularly, eat well, get
enough sleep. Learn how to apply make-up and style your hair in
ways that will enhance your unique beauty. Work on developing a
natural look that allows your Mind and Spirit to shine through
your Body. And most important, the successful non-Bimbo model
keeps all three parts of her life in balance and harmony.
