Author Michelle Niemiec writes: "Most top models have an inspiring, fairy-tale story about being discovered at a young age, and starting off their careers with major agencies. What you don't hear is the fact that many models, that are just starting out, face perverted photographers, scam agencies, eating disorders, lies, rape, and countless dishonest people. As a young model, I dealt with all of these things, and kept it all inside. I buried it inside so that I wouldn't have to think about it anymore."
"Industry Exposed" takes you from Niemiec's first fashion show in a Mid-western suburban mall, to her red carpet walks in Hollywood, where fashion designers, movie producers, and photographers pose as gatekeepers to young girls--far from home--seeking any chance at fame.
Along her journey, Niemiec finds peace; a confident new life path--rich in family and success--and a steadfast commitment to social education and justice. Niemiec has dedicated herself to sharing her knowledge and experiences with other girls, so that they can break into the modeling industry in a safe, smart and healthy way.
"Industry Exposed" is a guide for both girls and parents on how to build a modeling career from the ground up, and it's a brave and intimate story of a girl determined to follow her dream of making it in the modeling industry.
Chicago area native Michelle Niemiec is the Founder of National Talent Association, an industry consulting resource for aspiring models and actors. Additionally, Niemiec is the Vice President of W.A.S.P., Women Against Sexual Predators.
"Industry Exposed" is available June 25, 2008 on Xlibris.com and online this Summer at Amazon.com, Borders.com and Barnesandnoble.com.
