Beauty is in the eye of the makeup brush holder

PART 1Comparing models trained through traditional academia versus those trained through alternative routes can be complex. Here are some general advantages of each approach:&nbsp;# Advantages of Academy-Trained Models 1. *Structured Learning*: Academic institutions provide a structured learning environment, ensuring models receive comprehensive training in their respective domains.&nbsp;2. *Expert Guidance*: Academy-trained models often have access to experienced instructors and mentors, offering valuable insights and guidance.&nbsp;3. *Peer Feedback and Collaboration*: Interacting with peers can foster healthy competition, feedback, and collaboration, ultimately enriching the learning experience.&nbsp;4. *Access to Resources*: Academic institutions typically provide access to state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, and software, enabling models to stay up-to-date with industry developments. &nbsp;The above #4 does not pertain to Pimn models since their modeling is done from home or when on vacations, etc&nbsp;# Advantages of Models schooled vs those that never went to modeling school.&nbsp;1. *Autodidacticism*: Models that learn through self-study and online resources can develop strong self-directed learning skills.&nbsp;2. *Simulated Real-World Experience*: Models that learn through hands-on experience schooling first is training oneself for real-world applications that non-schooled models won't have prior to searching agencies. &nbsp;3. *Flexibility and Adaptability*: Without the constraints of a traditional, walk-in academy schedule, models can learn at their own pace and adapt to changing circumstances with Pimn. &nbsp;4. *Cost-Effectiveness*: Online resources and self-study materials can be more affordable than traditional walk-in academy programs.&nbsp;It's essential to note that these advantages can vary depending on individual circumstances, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to model training. &nbsp;Some models may thrive in academic environments, while others may prefer self-directed learning. &nbsp;Which one... can also depend on budget, whether a walk-in academy or Pimn that is more affordable AND can provide models a free option and a means to earn an income if a paid member. &nbsp;MORE ADVANTAGES FOR THE SCHOOLED MODEL - SEE PART 2 COMING SOON BY CHECKING BACK REGULARLY TO OUR BLOG.&nbsp;This blog is intended for interested in Pimn potential models.

Pimn accepted styles of modeling

Many newer, inexperienced models today never think of schooling first. Too many think that just having a few good images are enough to be accepted by a professional agency.&nbsp;This is far from the truth. There have been many models with great potential and great submission shots, digitals, a short portfolio...that get multiple rejections. But WHY? They LOOK LIKE they have great potential!&nbsp;Because... it's also experience that matters and more than a basic resume' or a certain good look to be a model that is needed.&nbsp;Think of modeling this way...Would you go downtown New York to interview for a corporate job as say a ceo executive assistant...with just a basic resume' and no schooling, limited experience and you are answering questions wrong? Never worked in the corporate environment before?&nbsp;Who do you think they would hire? That person or the one whom has had four years at a university as a graduate in business management and has an associates or bachelor's degree?&nbsp;The one whom answers questions at an interview as hey, how are ya? No smile, shows blah personality, barely shows up on time, slouched in her chair, has a minimal resume', no degree, no Certifications, no experience. Chewing gum, doesn't know anything about being an executive assistant but has simply a desire to be one?Or...The university grad who answers, Good day Sir or Ma'am, I'm here to interview for the executive assistant position with a smile, has her Certifications in administrative assistant, degree from a university, has good posture. Dresses well, shows up before anyone else, shows a great&nbsp; personality, AND...uses great communication etiquette.Which first impression will the Ceo, looking for an executive assistant hire?&nbsp;Point made.&nbsp;Get schooled. Don't be the first one. Be the second one. Get yourself trained to where you don't need to leave an audition, asking random people online is like asking random people in the street why you were rejected multiple times from an agency.&nbsp;Know what you're doing before you submit to a modeling agency or you will continue to get rejected. It doesn't matter if you have THAT MODEL LOOK that some random guy or your girlfriend said you have and you should be a model.&nbsp;GET SCHOOLED. Pro models have model trainers, mentors, managers, websites, video modeling reels, experienced resume', certifications, schooling of a modeling academy and a variety portfolio and excellent communication etiquette. Pimn is a virtual modeling academy network that can also create an extra income! No other modeling academy offers what Pimn does.&nbsp;Or... they will be....REJECTED.&nbsp;WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?&nbsp;Try Pimn...check our qualifications. Any questions, put it on video and submit it with proper communication etiquette to be considered and to have your questions answered to see if you can submit an entry for consideration.&nbsp;Email is on the home page.&nbsp;The less questions, the more skilled you'll appear to be. Reading more may answer your questions. Asking&nbsp; questions that are already answered on the website...will show us you didn't truly read or study the website or blog.&nbsp;Submitting without proper etiquette will show you didnt truly study the blog.&nbsp;Being asked repeatedly to resubmit it, to fix multiple issues will show you didnt truly read the site or blog.&nbsp;FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER.&nbsp;MAKE IT COUNT! To submit it and get it wrong and your score dropping is better than not trying at all.&nbsp;Sending an email saying Hi, I'm Jane, I'm interested in joining your agency please, here are my 4 digitals!&nbsp;Thank you for your consideration doesn't cut it. Sorry.&nbsp;Having a model trainer, mentor, manager is your first step towards becoming viewed more as professional.&nbsp;Using always always always Sir or Ma'am is another elementary step to being viewed as more professional and youll be viewed as smarter than others when you have your act together and your ducks in a row, so to speak.&nbsp;Looking like you should be a model isn't enough.&nbsp;That us like saying to a random lady on the street, you look like you could be a professional dancer! Are you?&nbsp;As she laughs and says, really? Thats funny, I don't even know how to dance! Haha.&nbsp;Can't judge a book by a cover alone. Do remember this if you pass up Pimn. Takes far far more than a smile or a pretty face to be a pro model.&nbsp;Pimn has trained models whom claimed to be experienced and yet knew only about 10% of what is mentioned in Pimn. They showed up late consistently, their texting and emailing etiquette was horrendous, they had no trainer, no mentor, no manager. They were also broke. Pretty, but broke. Some were actually pretty rude. Others had eyes rolled and complaining by photographers, hair stylists, makeup artists. Why? BAD ATTITUDES. EGOS. NARCISSISTIC. RUDE.&nbsp;We dont mean to slam other models but...reality is, pro models are miles beyond many pretty faces whom claim to be experienced, yet never schooled. THE DIFFERENCE IN THE REAL PRO MODELS VS THE FAKE PRO MODELS?&nbsp;THEY ARE LOVED AND COMPLIMENTED AND WANTED BACK. The others are hated, complained about and people say, ohhhh gawd, I never want to work with her again. Please don't have her back Sir! She was rude, late, loud, inconsiderate. Yes, I've heard it all after over a decade working with a variety of models of all types.&nbsp;Get yourself together with Pimn to be the one complimented, asked, wow, you're good and so natural, who trained YOU!?&nbsp;I'm a certified Pimn model. :)&nbsp;What's Pimn? Never heard of them!&nbsp;Pro International Modeling Natwork.&nbsp;Yes, we have had that type response to our best models.&nbsp;Pimn Director&nbsp;

Modeling school before an agency is VITAL

1.Don't be late to appointments, Pimn models stick to their words. They don't keep others waiting and in fact, are EARLY! They are courteous to other pros time schedules if they work or shoot with others.&nbsp;If ever going to be late, they call or txt ahead. Informing why and how late.&nbsp;This is just courtesy to others. A Pimn model strives to NEVER BE A NO SHOW, NO CALL.&nbsp;2.Don't chew gum on shoots. Or atleast...if you do so, do so discreetly, not smacking gum and making it known. It doesn't come off as professional. As nit picky as that sounds.&nbsp;If you want fresh breath, use a breath mint to tuck on the side of your mouth.&nbsp;3.Don't curse around other pros. This is unprofessional as complaining. And especially never curse AT someone. Never yell or get angry. If someone upsets you, control your emotions maturely. Kids throw tantrums and fits, not adults.&nbsp;4.Never gossip or talk badly about anyone. The one you are doing so to may be friends with the one you are talking badly about. Never complain about others or vent to others you're working with. It's not professional.&nbsp;Keep your gossip to yourself and any negative feelings, vent it to a close friend if you need to or even consult your model trainer, mentor, manager for suggestions.&nbsp;If it's your trainer, mentor manager you have issues with, be respectful, maintaining your politeness and courtesy and put it nicely and maturely on a video and your request will be taken seriously.&nbsp;5.Always use Sir or Ma'am if the other pro is at least ten years older. If they aren't that much older, simply using first name is fine. Don't use Mr or Ms unless they say so. Don't call them by their name if they are older and more experienced than you. It's actually considered rude by doing so.&nbsp;It's like calling your doctor John or your college professor Jane vs professor. Those that teach others deserve that much respect as do those older and more skilled.&nbsp;More etiquette tips coming.&nbsp;Keep checking this blog for more info. More on styles of modeling also coming soon, if not already posted.&nbsp;Have fun and be safe on your video/photo shoots.This blog is brought to you by the Pimn Director.&nbsp;

Steps of enrollment

Portrait of a business woman using cellphone

Texting professionally is as important as a professional e-mail. How you communicate as a Pimn model reflects on your over-all weekly score.&nbsp;Pimn models start out with a score of 50. If they show improvement, that score goes up. If they show they can't remember standards, their score drops.&nbsp;As you are scored on multiple areas weekly. We will cover Pimn scoring in another upcoming blog. ( If not yet posted )&nbsp;Models that can't remember their ps and qs of communication etiquette will only continue to drop in score daily, weekly, monthly. That includes how you text your model trainer, mentor, manager.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-rjnkwdvslm77q8pez"><img id="rjnkwdvslm77q8pez" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/2dVE9cBHgjs7ZN8qObqOV2NdiVQbjeyfzEnUFuzWDNkMXyi2y7jJ90MUnuZTnPD0.jpeg" alt="First text of the day" title="First text of the day" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/2dVE9cBHgjs7ZN8qObqOV2NdiVQbjeyfzEnUFuzWDNkMXyi2y7jJ90MUnuZTnPD0.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>If you are skipping your daily check-in and check-out process too, how fast you are starting to respond.&nbsp;Amateur models take hours and hours to reply back or they don't respond when seeing a txt or they just say ok.&nbsp;Some Amateur models however have demonstrated better than experienced models whom were never trained in communication etiquette!&nbsp;A lot of how quick a model can adapt may be based off current habits of how she communicates already.&nbsp;Pimn models are to strive daily to get her scores up and keep them up. With a goal of consistently reaching 100.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-fmn7xg8gqem77qaf6p"><img id="fmn7xg8gqem77qaf6p" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/26FdnFpXN5qakhdIyD6Poz75NOjykEbWVGNK7hxspvboiqDSOq16yhVoYfSWfEVW.jpeg" alt="Pass or Fail" title="Pass or Fail" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/26FdnFpXN5qakhdIyD6Poz75NOjykEbWVGNK7hxspvboiqDSOq16yhVoYfSWfEVW.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Again, more on scoring soon in the blog about Pimn's methods.&nbsp;Back to texting etiquette...● Here is are three examples starting with very bad etiquette first example.&nbsp;Ok etiquette but not ideal second example.&nbsp;And excellent txt etiquette third example....M = Model trainer, mentor, manager&nbsp;J = Jane Doe&nbsp;J : Hey there&nbsp;MM : Hey Jane, how are you today?&nbsp;Answers ten minutes later. Doesn't treat her text like a one on one conversation and is distracted. No personality.&nbsp;J : I'm fine.&nbsp;MM : Did you get your video shoot done today...for submission to review and critique before you post to your portfolio?&nbsp;Answers 20 min later. Keeping the trainer waiting. No courteousy in her text method. Doesn't apologize or make sure she's not distracted while texting. Answers are very dry and minimal. No etiquette.&nbsp;J : Yep&nbsp;MM : How'd the shoot go?&nbsp;Answers 45 min later..J :damnit, oh fine. When ya wanna see them?&nbsp;<figure id="figure-3m921gtulm77qbm6f"><img id="3m921gtulm77qbm6f" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/32KOuxYDEhHssDcafgJWiZW4fZgezrFp0D4CpvtLWkWsZU4PjXvfX8BQIzNGRRWq.jpeg" alt="Multitasking saves you plenty of time" title="Multitasking saves you plenty of time" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/32KOuxYDEhHssDcafgJWiZW4fZgezrFp0D4CpvtLWkWsZU4PjXvfX8BQIzNGRRWq.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>This is a no go. Bad example of text etiquette. Delays, distracted and curses. Displays no manners at all. And comes off as rude.&nbsp;J : OK, sent! Gotta go! I'm late and gotta get my stupid cat to the vet!&nbsp;MM : Uh, ok Jane. ?&nbsp;Your model manager, unless you know them exceptionally well...doesn't need to know your issues with your dog, cat, pet rat, hamster or gold fish. Don't voice your issues unless you know your trainer very well. Then if you have any to discuss, you may ask off the record. To talk openly. Not the typical but of 40 models, 5 have.&nbsp;● The next example is somewhat better but not ideal for a Pimn level model in training.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-ganxc3pkcm77qd5tr"><img id="ganxc3pkcm77qd5tr" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/b5jROlzoFLriRgonmGD6xly9Olb9VWgTCqUfk4Sp9smAAqrypa7Z8vp192bBbm7N.jpeg" alt="Young happy emotional girl holding a smartphone" title="Young happy emotional girl holding a smartphone" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/b5jROlzoFLriRgonmGD6xly9Olb9VWgTCqUfk4Sp9smAAqrypa7Z8vp192bBbm7N.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>J : Hello, how are you today Mr.Doe?&nbsp;MM : I'm good, thanks Jane. I don't go by Mr. Thx&nbsp;Did you finish your shoot for submission to me today?&nbsp;Answers 5 min later.&nbsp;J : uh yeah, I sure did! It went pretty good! I'll send my video now if that's OK?&nbsp;MM : Sure Jane, go ahead, I'll review it when Im free and let you know.&nbsp;Answers 15 min later.&nbsp;J : OK thank you!&nbsp;That example is somewhat avg type text etiquette. But not good enough for Pimn standards. Let's see next the best example of a skilled Pimn model.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-ijjk4nzto5m77qet7x"><img id="ijjk4nzto5m77qet7x" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/1eMnNBkOWS2PINyb4z1CuiU7eBepuo15OQzsszxoFVQJhxquQ7k2bhUmXpFLDiPj.jpeg" alt="Studio portrait of a focused and talented young female dancer" title="Studio portrait of a focused and talented young female dancer" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/1eMnNBkOWS2PINyb4z1CuiU7eBepuo15OQzsszxoFVQJhxquQ7k2bhUmXpFLDiPj.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>J : Good day Sir, ( or ma'am if a female trainer/mentor ) hope your day is great today!&nbsp;MM : Hello Jane, yes, thank you, it's going great. How about your today?&nbsp;Answers right away, no distractions.&nbsp;J : Well just trying to get this video submission finished for you to review Sir! :) I'm about to send it here now Sir.&nbsp;Answers right away as always a model trainer is distraction free when answering.&nbsp;MM : OK great! Looking forward to seeing it to review it and see if it's acceptable for my&nbsp; posting to my training portfolio.&nbsp;Answers right away. Doesn't go off and come back later to leave her model trainer tapping his fingers, waiting. Is very respectful and professional.&nbsp;J : I hope so Sir, I spent like 3 hours today on it to do my best. But anything you notice Sir that I need to fix, I'll fix this evening...if you're at all able to critique it within the hour please?MM : Yes, sure. I think I can get to it by then for you. Go ahead and send it soon as you're ready. You still have an hour to spare on your submitting it to me anyway Jane.&nbsp;J : Ohhh! That's right! Lol ok Thanks for reminding me Sir! But I'm finished on it early! Yayyy sending now Sir! Thank you for accepting my submission for today.&nbsp;If Jane was an intermediate model, she would be saying this on video.<figure id="figure-ky4gimd48um77qidu7"><img id="ky4gimd48um77qidu7" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1715149180726-e207d4394d28?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw1Mnx8TW9kZWxpbmclMjBpbiUyMGxpbmdlcmllJTIwfGVufDB8fHx8MTczOTcxNzA3MHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="a woman sitting on a bed wearing a black bra" title="a woman sitting on a bed wearing a black bra" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 30%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="30%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1715149180726-e207d4394d28?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw1Mnx8TW9kZWxpbmclMjBpbiUyMGxpbmdlcmllJTIwfGVufDB8fHx8MTczOTcxNzA3MHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 30%;"></figure> Not live video, but reply video. Model trainers Don't do live video unless THEY REQUEST THAT. Models however DO if an intermediate level. She also has choice to up her score by doing video response in her beginner level. It WILL give her a weekly increased score of 5 if she models 5 days a week. It's not required as a beginner model.&nbsp;It IS required after beginner level. Why is this? So the model learns to be more relaxed in front of a camera. It's training herself to overcoming any camera shyness. It is never shared public. It's strictly for the trainer to see her look before she submits her video modeling shoots.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-09oacn6ffm77qnkqk"><img id="09oacn6ffm77qnkqk" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/1264K6lL2ABKeLEhNB9lHdT1cpLgrogxm2BeuU7OewFBr7mfnR6qWtZGL33YqsnT.jpeg" alt="Social networking on the sofa" title="Social networking on the sofa" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/1264K6lL2ABKeLEhNB9lHdT1cpLgrogxm2BeuU7OewFBr7mfnR6qWtZGL33YqsnT.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>So, the last example of texting etiquette was a random, fictional example of a more skilled Pimn model.&nbsp;1.She contacts him slightly early if able vs him having to contact her asking after her time frame and she's not late. She's actually early.&nbsp;2.She is consistently polite and respectful in her every text.3.She smiles and shows personality in her communicating vs short one or two word DRY replies. Which shows no personality.&nbsp;4.She is not distracted or delayed in her replies. If she gets distracted, she'd say...J : I'm very sorry Sir, please excuse me for just 5min! I have an interruption. BRB Sir! :)&nbsp;MM : Ok Jane. Np.&nbsp;5 min later,not 10 or 15 but as she stated...<figure id="figure-p3lalckm1m77qqn8w"><img id="p3lalckm1m77qqn8w" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/20Fk5byXXiRRD9zmz1vAdA4S0KrB0FOY8G1dkAj82hGNkfFd5J8LvQTTuBz81U3L.jpeg" alt="Three o'clock" title="Three o'clock" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/20Fk5byXXiRRD9zmz1vAdA4S0KrB0FOY8G1dkAj82hGNkfFd5J8LvQTTuBz81U3L.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>J : Ok Sir, so sorry for that! Lol it was unexpected family call! Thank you for waiting!&nbsp;MM : No worries Jane. All good.&nbsp;Another ending text would be, thank you Sir for my submission and have a wonderful night! I'll check-In tomorrow Sir! Is that all you need? I've sent it. :)&nbsp;5.She is considerate, courteous of the model trainers time and schedule.&nbsp;In example 3, Jane Doesn't play head games, doesn't ghost, doesn't delay, doesn't ignore txt when answered, doesn't continue to be distracted, always uses Sir or Ma'am. Doesn't complain.&nbsp;In example 3, Jane Is thankful to her trainer. She greets her trainer, ends it also in a very friendly,positive way. Shows excellent etiquette In her texting. etc.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-kz68xjv16dm77qs6ps"><img id="kz68xjv16dm77qs6ps" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/2a7crgakjjFwERyWyaGgCGucpfYyLfPbaPVG75IBLw1M6WwXOAshk7F2YVjce52z.jpeg" alt="Happy athletic woman giving high five to friend at gym" title="Happy athletic woman giving high five to friend at gym" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/2a7crgakjjFwERyWyaGgCGucpfYyLfPbaPVG75IBLw1M6WwXOAshk7F2YVjce52z.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>She would score a 5 for her weekly texting etiquette where example 2 would score a 2 or 3 and example 1 would score a 1 for her weekly communication skill score.&nbsp;THIS is the difference in what a Pimn model strives for.&nbsp;If accepted into Pimn modeling, learn it, remember it and apply it daily...or if it's not for you, do not try to enroll with Pimn virtual modeling training network.&nbsp;Don't let your bad days reflect in your emails or texting. Or your mood swings. Keep it consistently at example 3.&nbsp;Its not just about txt or email etiquette, its also about in-person manners, courtesy towards others you communicate with or work with in modeling. Especially any that are helping you.Not all pros think as Pimn trains models. In fact, some pros that are very skilled in photography or hair styling or makeup, even other experienced models may find Pimns methods too strict or too much.&nbsp;But these types of people do not set Pimn model standards. If they laugh about having courtesy, manners or respectful demeanor...then maybe they arent so professional after all?&nbsp;<figure id="figure-8588o19xfrkm77quwz5"><img id="8588o19xfrkm77quwz5" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/11JtIEX3a18qhlyYNfFWirB0Wx3QjopDbrColq1dovBjAQYQ9Hu7umNWj8khwZBu.jpeg" alt="Don't mess with me today" title="Don't mess with me today" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/11JtIEX3a18qhlyYNfFWirB0Wx3QjopDbrColq1dovBjAQYQ9Hu7umNWj8khwZBu.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Our standards are not meant to be judged but applied and those that find our way too structured or TOO corporate...may not have been to any modeling academy before nor been around much of the higher level professional types.&nbsp;It isn't for them to claim, "That's ridiculous, that's a bit much, that's too much. Omg! You have to be perfect?" No, nobody is perfect. We simply train models to be the most professional. If another pro disagrees with our methods, then they are free to disagree but not judge how Pimn standards are higher than theirs. So, if you become a Pimn model...don't let negative people bash down what we strive to help you be of more respectful and courteous towards others.<figure id="figure-dd2zqu1qxfm77qycs7"><img id="dd2zqu1qxfm77qycs7" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/2fAb2SAG5GPtrjaQqjCwaRnEmZxTwtJVaoENgKdhDV91f4IA96havB4HdigM6T8U.jpeg" alt="girl having fun" title="girl having fun" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/2fAb2SAG5GPtrjaQqjCwaRnEmZxTwtJVaoENgKdhDV91f4IA96havB4HdigM6T8U.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure> There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, other pros whom are...will notice and value it and appreciate it. As well, compliment you.&nbsp;Even different cultures have different levels of what is valued. One culture may not focus much on being polite while another might.&nbsp;Opinions vary. But we arent here to abide by a variety of opinions but strictly what Pimn teaches.&nbsp;This may come up if you bring into your model training or shoots others you know or meet or friends. However, you are less likely to encounter this defiance of good etiquette... if you decide to do Pimn alone. Which is the typical.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-8bt5humbg8m77r1opw"><img id="8bt5humbg8m77r1opw" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/cQvPUT3ulGzoz04BZ90AJwbn13XIpTiuqzGWJDbyyij5YLa4Pta8Zfoq6S9pC910.jpeg" alt="Let's stay in bed today..." title="Let's stay in bed today..." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>Not all pros have the same standards and not all that claim to be experienced are schooled or trained to truly be professional.&nbsp;That concludes first step only in texting etiquette. More later.&nbsp;Check the Pimn blog regularly for further tips, updates, etc on Pimn modeling.&nbsp;If you disagree with anything Pimn standards are...feel you can't change or learn these, then maybe Pimn isn't right for you after all?&nbsp;Pimn is about discovering your best version of YOU. You will receive compliments and be noticed. Guaranteed.&nbsp;If however, you feel you can learn, retain and apply Pimn standards...then you'll be welcome to submit for enrollment to see if you qualify.&nbsp;Pimn Director.&nbsp;

Texting Etiquette of wrong ways vs right way.

PIMN : Pro International Modeling Network

A virtual modeling school designed specifically for women ages 18 up. Not just a school that covers 4 levels up to pro but a model referral affiliate network where models from home can earn. Many companies that have investors are reaping benefits of their growth. This is the stock market. Same applies with Pimn. While there is a free limited benefit option, the investing models can earn commissions through affiliate referral promoting. Pimn is a network but it is not an MLM.
