Should models get paid so much

To be a top model, you have to keep your weight and appearance exactly like what the advertisers want. That means hours at the gym and watching your diet. So, a photo shoot or runway show might take only an hour but they are basically working 24/7.

Yes why not? they are sacrificing their lives for their career....

I think they sacrifice a lot to be the way they look, they are in constant diets and working out and not eating and taking care of their skin and hair ans so so many things that are expensive, that yes, I think they deserve the money. Besides, I've been on photo shoots of models, and believe me, it ia a hard work for those women! The have to stand around and do so many things, and on top of that, appear natural and as if nothing is wrong.... the deserve every penny!

maybe it's also because they have to do the runway by wearing expensive clothes witch is also their responsibility to keep the clothes not from getting wripped off and stuff like that. not all people can do the runway and also keep the clothes looking glamorous and dashing so that the people who are watching them felt that they wanted to by the clothes.

In my opinion models shouldn't exist

I am not sue on the answer. I mean they do do alot for their bodies but I feel its by choice. believe it or not, the most famous models are the ones we dont see that much.

Models are walking, talking advertisements. And advertising is worth millions. The models aren't being paid because of what they physically do, but to promote the product. They're being paid because of the product they're representing. Models are paid all different sorts of salaries - they don't have set salaries. If a model is promoting a product from a wealthy company, they want to ensure that their product is promoted to the very best of the model's ability. So, like all advertising, he or she is paid well. If the model is promoting a product for a less wealthy company, she'll make less.

So it's hard to say. I think there are some models that are paid more than they deserve, and some that aren't. And modeling*is* extremely difficult work - their lives are completely structured for them. Top professional models have people telling them what they can do and when they can do it. They have no free time and are pushed to their limits daily. Add in the psychological abuse that's so common and masquerades as 'advice', I'd say they need the money just to pay for their therapy bills. There's a reason so many models turn to drugs and have breakdowns - it's not the glamorous lifestyle, it's the stress. Modeling isn't glamerous at all.

I would forbid for law the parades of fashion, with the stylists and the models, but that you want, the great public wants her......

If you have ever seen Americas Next Top Model you would see the torchur these people have to go through with the hair and makeup not to mention the costumes at times are very uncomfortable and awkward. The positions they have to put them selves can be extremily painfull and cause bruises that they later have to cover up for a totally diffrent photo. They deserve every penny they earn for the pain and torchure they go through.

um not sure if companys can afford to pay well why not. wish i could be a model they get fame and fortune
