Isobella Jade's Story

 My experience as a model is one that is based on taking a chance for yourself. During a boring summer in Syracuse, New York, in 2001, I Googled the word model. And since then I have seen a rare side of the modeling business as finding success as petite girl, hence the title of my book: Almost 5'4", and I have been able to over come the odds.  But it hasn't happened from being born lucky.  Instead it has been through my own will and persistence and the results of just simply trying and chasing what you want to happen, and making it happen.

I have written a book about my roots as a model, and it will be out in early 2009 through an imprint of Harper Collins called The Friday Project. It is about my mistakes and my self discovery and growth as a person and model. When I first wanted to write this book I didn't have a computer and I ended up writing it at the Apple Store on Prince Street in New York City. Today, while I am modeling, I now put my unconventional experience to use and write daily modeling tips on my modeling blogs and share tips and advice and confessions of the model lifestyle. I have created modeling video tips on Youtube as well, and also each week I speak on my popular modeling podcast called Model Talk and it isn't only about me anymore, it is about inspiring others and making sure a dream doesn't go forgotten. If you want something you have to believe enough in yourself to make it happen.
