It was about a year ago when I went into their office. I am 6'1 and 135 lbs african american woman. I was told I was TOO TALL TO MODEL but the receptionist did give me a business card to speak with someone for a runway.....ya know because 6'1 is too tall in the modeling world. Too bad the phone number AND the email were duds....... though this wasnt the only "excuse" I was given by modeling agencies it was the one that wasted the most of my time. If you are a woman of color maybe think about just working with boutiques and building a reputation/ resume that way. It's not the same paycheck but I smaller shops are more upfront about whether they need you or not.
