I’m traveling from Vilnius to Milan with a suitcase full of beautiful dresses, makeup, high heels, and everything I need to create my image. So, I’m going to work as an image model in a nightclub. Not just anywhere, but in Italy! However, my modeling career will be different. I won’t have to walk the runway or showcase slim body lines. Instead, I’ll be paid to maintain an image at a nightclub, create a good atmosphere, interact with clients, display gorgeous clothes, and reveal my feminine charm. Initially, for a 19 year girl from a small town like me, this sounded like heaven on earth. I couldn’t believe I’d be paid for it. Since childhood, I never lacked attention from men - flowers, compliments - it made me happy. So, I never thought I’d dislike this job.

Unexpectedly, while browsing social media, I discovered a page offering image model job. Without hesitation, I wrote them a letter. And they replied - in Lithuanian! A Lithuanian manager sends girls abroad. It immediately gave me a sense of security, and I wasn’t mistaken. It turned out to be true. Safety is guaranteed. But internally, fear and hesitation held me back. Was it the unknown? Fear of leaving my comfort zone? From my experience, I can say I feared only one thing - myself. It was a huge challenge to overcome my own limitations, leave my family and friends, travel to a place where I knew no one, didn’t speak the Italian language, and had never been abroad. Fear pushed against me. But I conquered it. You know what? I’ve become an unstoppable force! I want to travel, live, and embrace the opportunities this job provides. And the best advantage of this work? Flexibility. You choose which city, country to work in and how long you want to work. Whether it’s just one month or a week, it’s entirely up to you. What experience has this job given me? The best part is learning to communicate with all kinds of people - from entrepreneurs to politicians and professionals. Your communication skills improve every day, meeting new people. You grow as an individual and refine foreign language skills.

What challenges have I faced being an image model? We all know that working in an all-female team involves more gossip, envy, and competition. It’s no surprise that new girls struggle with self-confidence and feel uncomfortable among experienced ladies who know the job inside out. My advice to new girls: Trust yourself. Shine. Also, you must have strong willpower because temptations and offers are abundant. Take care of your health, beauty, and personal growth. Alcohol is readily available in image models position, but it’s your choice whether to indulge. No one forces you, and no one ever will. Most importantly, stick to your morals and don’t compromise them. Now, you’re probably curious about the requirements for girls to become an image model. In general, the essential thing girls must possess is self-confidence, charisma, and femininity. A woman with elegant, modest manners who exudes self-assurance makes men lose their minds, promising a lucrative start to the job.
