Girls Would Rather Be Glamour Models Than Anything Else Today

Young women are flocking to modeling agencies to try for the glamorous celebrity lifestyle associated with a glamour model's career. A recent survey shows two-thirds of teenage girls prefer the lure of becoming a model rather than

a doctor, nurse or teacher. With all the hype of magazines and television surrounding women who bare their flesh, go under the knife to sculpt prettier faces and larger breasts, become rich and famous just for their outward appearance, these findings should not be surprising. One owner of a modeling agency said that she gets girls as young as thirteen or fouteen every week trying to get into the glamour modeling business. To be a glamour model a woman has to be at least eighteen. Kelly-Ann Wilson went to this modeling agency, Genesis Models, for a try at this glamorous career. She went to a plastic surgeon on her 18th birthday to discuss breast enhancement. She then went on to have the surgery that made her 34B's into much larger 34DD's in hopes it would help boost her dream career.

"I want the fame. I want people to recognise me. I want to be a household name because I want to be successful in what I do," she explained.

A columnist for the Observer, Christina Odone, feels this is a sad commentary on society when women think big boobs are more important than brains. She said: "There is an attitude now that all I need to do is pose, strut my stuff, show off my breasts and my assets and I too can get into the tabloids, be a Page Three girl and walk on the red carpets of Hollywood." "That is the ultimate goal, and it's celebrity, it's D-List celebrity. Surely there's more to life than that." I think parents need to sit up and take notice of a disturbing trend like this. If your daughter is obsessed with becoming a glamour model and getting plastic surgery to enhance her natural beauty it might be time to have a heart to heart talk with her. Try pointing her in the direction of a more worthwhile and fulfilling career. Get her interested in a good college education. Take some control of her life while you still can, and be a good influence on her.
