Okay, well I have this dream for a really long time. I'd like to be an alternative model. I've got tattoos and piercings and weird hair so I think it's perfect for me. I'm short too so I'd like to do like model for t-shirt websites and such. Nothing at all fancy, just for a little extra money. I can look into sites and such, but my parents say I'm being stupid and I'll just be taken for a ride or kidnapped into white slavery. Obviously they don't think I can do it.

Can I have your honest opinion? I have photos in an album on my profile. I'm not skinny but I have pretty good curves. Do I have a shot or should I give up right now? It's not a career, just for fun til my masters program starts.
