Almost 5'4": Confessions of an Unconventional Model
by Isobella Jade

This is the true story of Isobella Jade's experience in the highly competitive field of modeling. It offers a close-up look at the underrepresented world of petite models who often face the same challenges as the tall supermodels (Isobella thinks of them as Giraffes), but make far less money and work under much less luxurious circumstances.

Amazon.com Product Description for Almost 5'4"
"When she was nineteen she posted her photo on a free Internet modeling website unaware of the risk, passion and self discovery that would follow. From that day, being a college student in New York City wasn't exciting anymore and instead being a model in New York City sounded so much better. Despite her slim chances of getting a modeling agent based on her height, she grabbed her bootstraps and used the Internet to promote herself. Except after months of running in-between her college classes to shoot with amateur photographers in their basements, penthouses, and living rooms it was inevitable that one day her mother would see her naked on the Internet. After this embarrassment she had no other choice but to change her name to Isobella. With her new name, now giving up before she made something of her self wasn't an option. Her story, first typed at the Apple Store on Prince Street in SoHo New York City, will inspire you to try any dream you have had."
