correct?
Erika Estrada:

Erika Estrada:
The contest is to win a trip and some great prizes

CMP: What
would advice would you give to someone wanting to get in the business of
modeling about choosing photographers, jobs and avoiding the casting couch?
Erika Estrada:
Just be cautious in dealing with people. There are a lot of people out there
that say they are something they are not!

think that the industry puts unnecessary pressure on models to look a
certain way? For example, tanning, working out excessively, plastic surgery,
etc.

Yes, but the industry is changing a little and people are changing their
view of what is beautiful. It’s not just the stick figures world anymore!
