Firstly even though you have the hands of a goddess and you could win in a beauty contest against some of the top international models this does not mean that you are the material that the companies are looking for. As some ads use top models to show there products others are just as likely to use any one in the studio as a temp one day wonder, if they never got a model in time for the shoot or they just wanted to cut back on expense.
