Every dream to traveling / the world, visiting exotic places and making millions of dollars, just to have your picture taking? Well, in a new documentary series, Models NYC, MSNBC takes you behind the scenes of a New York modeling agency, only to find being beautiful for a living isn’t always a pretty picture.

I’m trying to meet mission, one of my models is working for your company tomorrow. So you guys want her, that’s great. But I’m not going to hang up on every two seconds I like to.

We’re like mother, father, brother, sister, psychiatrist, boyfriend. We’re everything to these models.

I can never feel so bad about myself, my whole life. This is under, like, what did you eat? Why are you so fat?

They’re all young. They don’t have a family here for the most part. So it’s us.

If you want to hire a lawyer to sue them, you are to think about what you are doing. It’s not worth it. So you notice that girl that suing the clients? It’s not worth it. It’s a small industry, trust me.

Takes a great agency behind you, takes a great agent behind you. all of those pieces have to come together.

… to pulling out.

Jeffrey Kolsrud is the founder and director of the Q management modeling agency. And Maria is a model at the Q. Good morning to you both.

Good morning.

So I have this, I was stuck by the words, “trust me”. I mean, my goodness, you’re being trusted with very very young girls. How young?

I mean, pretty much for us, the youngest is 13.

13 years old!

13, but it goes up. I mean the average model we represent, I would say, is around 18 to 22.

So you are the talent-scout, the booking agent, the mentor, the surrogate father. Big responsibility.

Yeah. I wear a lot of pats.

I know, but, and Maria. You came to this, you know, you weren’t thirteen when you came to this, you came to this when you were / nineteen years old.

About nineteen.

And how would you describe this world that you’ve entered, that this crazy, I mean, it seems crazy from that tape. Seems tense, a lot of pressure. Right?

Definitely. I mean one thing, it’s not as glamorous as it seems. I mean I sort of had the upper hand in this *, because I did start / when I was nineteen. I suppose some girls who started in their 13 or 14, they might be a little bit lost.

But why it's not as glamorous as it looks glamorous? Look at that, that’s you. Right? I think. (Yes.) Looking gorgeous on that. (Yes, yes.) But why is that not glamorous? Sitting on a big pillow by a pool.

Well, it looks glamorous / there. Actually, this was shot in mid-December. It was, it was about 18 degrees in there. So…

Oh, not glamorous, no. So this is the pain involved.

Absolutely.

Pain, and also a lot of pressure on very young girls who look perfect in a world that is not perfect. So what does your thinking about that, Jeffrey, what does your thinking about mothers right now watching this, who may be watching this piece that is gonna air tonight, thinking, oh, I don’t want my daughter to go through this.

Well, I think what’s great about this show is that it will explain to the viewer it’s not about Maria showing up looking perfect. Before she got to that shot, there could have been three or four hours of preparation to kind of "achieve" that perfect look. And they’ll understand from watching the show too that it’s a great opportunity for them to get into it. It’s not all that kind of glimpse and glamour, / maybe that we are talking about.

Because, in fact, the story, the back story here. Maria, is / that you were actually a foster child?

Yes.

And you actually in part, you know do this to help support your brother. I understand that you are. So this is a real kind of traveling. I don’t want her to bring too much on it, but that is gonna be built on the series. But the point is that there is, the struggle is real, and that’s part of it. Is that would you / want someone say?

Absolutely. Well, there’s, I mean, people who don’t necessarily understand the business. I mean, you are outer person looking at these scenes, it might seem glamorous to you, show up on the shoot. You shoot for ten minutes, and you hear they hand you a check over for ten thousand dollars. What people don’t see is that a lot of what gose on is really hard work, and you know, for me, I…

And we are gonna see that actually in the series, I know that you, I don’t want to say everything in this morning. So I’m going to let you say this in your premiere. The success is not that we’re getting somewhere, it’s how hard it is to get.

Absolutely.

So, it sounds like you are on a good road towards that. Thank you so much. And the series is called Models NYC premieres tonight, at 10pm, eastern on MSNBC.
