How PIMN models self-measure

For when you do...here's info for you how to properly do so, whether to add to your submission or for if accepted and active and submitting it weekly. 

If on pause in your modeling, you're not required to be doing anything except if contacted randomly by your trainer, mentor, manager to be asked a question or informed of something you need to know. 

If on a break, staying up on blog for 5 min a day definitely helps for when you return to your physical modeling. 

As for the measurement method in Pimn...

To take your bust, waist, and hip, thigh, calf and hair length measurements, you can follow these steps:

● Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure flat against your body and parallel to the floor. Nip line. 

You can do this while your arms are relaxed at your sides. Not outward horizontally. Arms are down. 

● Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, which is the smallest indentation of waist. Don't suck in. Relax when measuring. 

Keep the tape measure snug but not too tight, and parallel to the floor. 

● Hips
Measure around the fullest part of hips, which is usually about 8–9 inches below your waist. It includes wides lower portion of body. Buttox included. 

You can stand with your feet together and your toes facing forward. 

Place the tape measure in the middle of the fullest part of your hips, then bring it around your back to meet at the starting point in front. 
The tape should be snug but not digging in or lose. 

Here are some tips that might help:

For the most accurate results, measure yourself while wearing only thin style underwear but NOT wearing any shapewear. 

These are your natural measurements. No push up bras. No padded bras, No waist trainers or corsets, not wearing jeans, sweats, dress, skirts, shirts, sweaters, etc. Must be as described for accurate measurements. 

Use a calibrated measuring tape. 
Use a mirror to help check the positioning of the tape across your back if needed. 

Try NOT to be wearing under clothing that is so tight, it creates any skin bulges. 

You may have anyone help you take your measurements If needed. Or do so yourself. 

Then write them down and measure yourself weekly for any improvements. Always submit in inches if requested by trainer or when adding these to your submission for auditioning. 

Submit to Pimn changes weekly if actively modeling. If not, only submit them when asked.

● Hair length, thigh and calves included. 

Add to these measurements thigh, widest area of your thigh without flexing muscle.  

Calf at widest area of calf. In muscular areas, depending on the model and her goals...depends on if an increase or decrease is desired. 

● Desired Pimn hair length is mid buttox level or below but not further than below lower buttox curve. While very short hair is accepted in fashion runway modeling, it's not in Pimn. 

Why?

Diversity of hair styles is why. The longer the hair, the more variety of hair styles and the more variety of hair styles or longer the hair, the more noticed you'll get and more compliments you'll get too.

Most models are unaware of this fact. All Pimn models are highly aware of this fact. 

If submitting a video for hair length progress that you will be doing in Pimn, its wearing a top that is plain jane type top. A dark top if blonde hair, a light color top if dark hair. 

●●● Start standing with camera stationary. Pimn models NEVER DO SELFIE SUBMISSIONS OR POSTS OR MIRROR SELFIES. Especially covering face with cell phone. 

a snug fitting top is best vs baggy or lose. Stand back far enough to get entire length of hair brushed out and no curles or waves and not wet hair. Fully dry. 

start facing camera that is positioned vertically on a stand or tripod, face camera with solid contrasting background to the color of your hair. 

Posture is up right, do not slouch and head is straight. Makeup on or off doesnt matter. This is a hair length video submission to your trainer. 

Maintaining your posture, turn gracefully to the left, pause 3 seconds. Turn left to show back of head, pause 3 seconds, turn left again to pause 3 seconds.

Turn front and pull hair this time in front over both shoulders by equally separating hair at back of head to drape over shoulders. Looking directly at camera.

Pause 3 seconds. Turn again same 3 poses and pause 3 seconds on each. Returning to front take both hands to return hair to back. 

This is a proper Pimn method hair length video submission.

If there are any sounds in background, cats, dogs, trains, kids screaming while playing, people talking, cut the sound out or redo it and re-submit it. 

This is a normally expected video submission for all models. If hair is too short to fall over shoulders, then no need to do a second round. 

DONT FORGET : adding dialog, Hello Sir, Jane here for hair video submission for date : month? Day? Year? 

Once done, finish it with : Thank you Sir for accepting my hair growth submission. ( or Ma'am if you have assigned a female trainer ) 

That's it. Simple as simple gets. Save that video and add it into your private training portfolio on IG after it's sent to trainer to review first. Each video shouldn't last more than a minute. Time yourself to keep it under a minute. If it's it's over, redo it until it's within a minute.  

This is done only once a week by active pimn models. Make sure entire length of hair is seen. Or you'll be told to redo it. 

■■■ 

Goal length for Pimn models is mid buttox length. Not longer than lower curve of buttox. 

Pimn models are likely the only models that have hair length goals set by model training that other modeling schools won't require and for the above reasons.

If you see a very long haired model, she very likely MIGHT BE a Pimn model or has at one time been one.

Never know unless you ask her. We have models from various countries that love Pimn virtual, home modeling. 

Typically takes years to grow such lengths. Indicating, if a Pimn model's hair is very long, she's likely higher level trained. Not always. Some, come in with already longer hair. And that's fine. 

Pimn isn't just about all serious follow this, follow that. Etc. Its also about enjoying what you do.

After all, if Pimn x models didnt enjoy it, then the director would not have repeatedly been told they missed it and wanted back in or plan to return. Right? Right! 

This completes PIMN self-measure method and is intended for PIMN active models.
