she is very cute! I have thought about it too, and have seen ads in school magazines etc. Have you thought about trying to contact any companies - I think I would probably email a catalogue like littlewoods or something and ask them where they recruit their models from. you could try the internet too but I personally would prefer a big brand name company who I would feel would be less dodgy.

well i jus tried the internet thing and none of the names stood out as bein a big so dont think i cud trust them wiv my daughters photos think the best i can do is jus ave a look around.
elise is such a poser and has the personality to stand out, i was very very shy wen i was younger and always told i cud model but i was like no chance lol. so wud like to see if she cud ave the oppurtunity

One of my friends does it for her daughter. The way she did it was signing her up with an agency, then the agency find work for her to model. However, I think a lot of them are cons to be honest. She had to pay a few hundred pound upfront which is a bit risky. Make sure u do ur research n be careful. I do know that Next have taken on child models in the past, because another family friend's daughter did that for a while. I guess the best way is to contact a few catalogue companies. Good luck

one of my friends did exactly the same thing. she went 2 a model casting with her 2 kids, they sed they were perfect models and cud get some work. but only if she paid £25 for each childs portfolio.
thats why im going to look around, im not going to be taken for a mug.
but im also realistic about things and some companys may not feel elise is right for them but i wont get upset by that, did any1 see the programme bout the 11 year old who wanted 2 be a model on bbc1.

i didn't see the programme but she was in my magazine, it was a bit ridiculous for her to be like that at such a young age with all the make up, hair highlights n fake tan and what not! A little bit is ok, but she was at the extreme!

I'm sure your daughter would get something for a catalogue or something similar, cause those pictures truly are lovely! Let us know if you make any progress x

i felt sorry 4 that little girl her mum seemed more interested than her made her do a cheerleading routine in a resteraunt n in the airport where they were waitin 2 go 2 america she realy didnt want 2. her mum died her hair 4 her took her 4 fake tans n nail n everything
thought it was disgusting.

i saw that programme 2.her mum told her that she was going to win that competition and when she didnt win,the look on her face was so sad!
the boy won and his mother didnt even seem like she cared.
