You have to understand that modelling is not only about being uniquely pretty or having people tell you you're pretty. You have to be able to walk correctly on the runway. You have to be photogenic. You have to be able to do different poses that flatter your body. You have to be able to take directions from anyone and change the way you look, like if someone tells you that you have to cut your hair short and dye your hair dark red you HAVE to, or else you won't get the job.





And most modelling agencies require for girls to be at least 5'8". But you're thirteen so you still have time to grow and you will probably grow another inch or two.





Here are some really good modelling agencies they have in California:

You can find the address to send some pictures to. Most of them don't allow you to just come in and show your portfolio. I know that for Ford and Elite Models you can send in some pictures online and fill out an application. They give you directions on what kind of pictures they need on both web sites. And they don't have to be professional! They prefer them to be taken with a regular camera and with you not wearing any make up. So be very natural.





Also, Ford Models has the "Supermodel of the World" competition once a year I think. Check it out: http://www.myspace.com/fordsupermodel





Hope I could help! Just understand that the modelling world is very tough. Be prepared for a lot of criticism and rejection. It's not all that glamorous as most think!
