Why female models get paid more than men!

The Model Factory

While we are constantly told that there is equality between the sexes in terms of pay, we seldom believe it. Modelling is one business that actually flips the stereotype on its head; women make more than men! We thought we should look at why this is, and the reasons are surprisingly simple.

The Model Factory

It's estimated that women do over 65% of the total expenditure on clothing in the UK. One reason for this is that women, in general, enjoy shopping more than men and are more likely to replace items that haven't worn out for the sake of the latest trend. This is the main reason that more advertising budgets, and hence modeling jobs, are directed at women. In print, women sell to women and men sell to men - it's just the way it is! On the catwalk, the interest in high fashion among men is lower and so the male shows are less publicised and often smaller and the catwalk models get paid, in general, a bit less.

The Model Factory: Yoga

The Model Factory

The Model Factory offer modelling advice packages and have great relationships with leading studios and agencies. One important factor for aspiring models to remember is fitness. Although there are many niches of modelling which don't require you to be super slim, fitness is crucial to a good life regardless of your modelling aspirations. Here are some ways in which yoga can help you in your daily life and that will definitely reflect on your modelling look.

Yoga is a fantastic way to tone muscles that you don't normally use. The first few weeks can be extremely tiring but your body will adapt to the new exercise and love you for it. The movements of yoga create great blood circulation that helps move trapped fluids around the body. Try to do a couple of poses and your cheeks will look much rosier! Yoga can make you a nicer person to be around because it gives you a greater sense of humility. In another word, it makes you more humble. When you fail at a pose, you don’t give up, right? You keep practicing until you succeed. This way, you learn how to admit your mistakes and forgive yourself and also other people.

Yoga makes you feel more comfortable with your imperfections and makes you realise that they’re not all that bad. It’s always great to see a lady with good posture. Good posture makes women feel confident and gorgeous and it is much more beautiful and healthier than a woman hunched over. If you want to improve your posture, yoga is a must. Try some easy modelling auditions style poses and you will have a better posture in just a few weeks. While yoga can help you lose weight, it can also give you a healthy body. Yoga improves flexibility, prevents joint pain, and helps the body stay fit, of course, with a healthy eating plan. A worn out body is not beautiful, but a healthy body is. Doing yoga is one of the best ways to make yourself healthier and more beautiful. After all, if you don’t have a healthy body, how could you possibly cope with life situations and become a better person? For more health and beauty tips, read other blogs from The Model Factory.
