With the sluggish job market, people are considering all sorts of interesting career options. Yet the idea of becoming a lingerie model has always had appeal for many women. For many, it’s a glamorous career and it can do wonders for one’s self image.

This video has some helpful advice on how to become a lingerie model. The focus is on working for lingerie retailers, like Victoria’s Secret or Frederick’s of Hollywood. Yet there are many other options for lingerie models, particularly glamour modeling. Companies like Maxim and Bullz-Eye feature beautiful models in lingerie and bikinis.

One fact that some might not understand is that you don’t need to be tall to be a lingerie model or a glamour model. Victoria’s Secret is an obvious exception, as they primarily hire fashion models for their shoots, as does Sports Illustrated. Instead, it’s more important to have an hourglass figure and an ample cup size to succeed in this area. Also, there’s very little runway work in this area – that’s for the fashion models. If you’re interested in this field, you should probably avoid tattoos as well.
