Chantel Nash: Child Modeling — How It Started and the Baby Size Criteria

At 47:56 · chapter starts 45:20

Chantel Nash introduces the central subject of her segment: her children's careers as child models. It began with her daughter Etta. Her partner Richie had done child modeling himself — he was the face of the McDonald's Creme Egg McFlurry launch campaign at age 13, and there is a four-foot bus poster of him at that age displayed in their home. Richie insisted their daughter was a cute baby and that they should reach out to the same child modeling agency he had been with, who were still in business. They sent a photo; the agency took Etta on. Chantel explains that the primary criteria for baby modeling is simply being a baby — though agencies do specify a size range: between 55 and 106 centimetres in length. The range prompts mock disbelief from Josh, who notes that is a surprisingly wide gap. Chantel confirms the wider implication: very large babies welcome.
