Answer: I never sacrifice if its always what I want. Maybe sacrifice things like fattening foods, but I always ate healthy.

_____________________

Question: Will this moeling agency become one of the top agencies?

Answer: Its just no mainstream enough. Look how big ford, and elite are. Thats worldwide. It doesnt need to be that big. You lose personal relationships within

Question: CC- people at my school are sticks! They sit around eat junk food and some play soccer for an hour once a week. I try to eat really healthily and do an hour or two of yoga/pilates/running/weights 5 times a week. how do you stay in such amazing shape?- JDMAfan1

Answer: I am a fitness fanatic. I used to work out every single day 3 hours a day. Now its maintenance. I run, swim, do a lot of sit ups, and pushups, and I use my own body weight for resistance. Consistently! Everyones body is different. Some have faster metabolisms then others. You are an individual. Those sticks you know may be bigger one day if they dont start eating healthy and working out properly. You must eat! Not eating will make your metabolism shut down and put you in starvation mode.

_____________________

Question: This question is for CC and Dominic. Is the modeling world as tough as the show makes it out to be?

Answer: Way more tough! You have way more competition and people are constantly putting you down. You have to fight for respect. No one is perfect. Even when you are perfect your just not perfect. This modeling industry is cruel. But if its what you love, like me, you learn to deal with rejection and praise acceptance.

_____________________

Question: Love the show, you both are great models! I was wondering? Are you going to have a season 4 of The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency?

Answer:

Thank you!

I do not know.

I live in NJ and go to school in PA.

My mom got me started when i was very young! I had to stop for a little because I needed to go to school. Your beautiful in your own original, unique way. Dont let anyone tell u otherwise. Take a look at my blog myspace.com/ccfontana. There are modeling tips and agencies

Question: hi CC. i just wanted to let you kno that i look up to you. you are absolutly amazing. one day i want to work with janice. so is also very amazing. Ive never modeled before & im only 14, so what do i do? thanx CC.

Answer: Does your parents believe in you and want you to start so young? By all means go on girl! If not, try to finish school. You need education to fall back on. There are no gaurentees in this biz.

_____________________

Question: If Janice hadn't represented you, and you couldn't get a job for years, would that have held you back from trying to reach your goals, or would you have kept trying for years to come? Also, did you always want to be a model? or was it a spur of the moment thing?

Answer: With or without the JDMA, I plan to continue my work as a model.

Answer: CC:No they only have a casting call once a year.

_____________________

Question: Hey to both CC and Dominic, how did you get discovered by JDMA?

Answer:

CC: myspace =)

_____________________

Question: how has modelling changed your life?

Answer: It made me push beyond limits and boundaries. I am curvy, and i got breast implants because it made my body more proportional. Breast Augmentation is the biggest surgery women get in America. People tend to forget, and they put people down for it. I dont care what people say, because Ive booked way more jobs because of it. I never said I was high fashion. There are so many more categories of modeling. Look at the successful 5'2 model Vida Guerra. Um hello =)

Question: What are the main advice you would give someone who is interested in becoming in model.

Answer: It's a very tough industry, but if your passionate about being a model then you should start going to agencies.

Question: Do you think that companies should use models that reflect the look and diversity of the population or should they try and create their own image of what a woman or man should look like?

Answer: Outside the box, companies should use more of the population to make it more diverse.
