Rosie Luik touted next top model

USPA NEWS - After a near death experience Rosie Luik from Brisbane Queensland decided at 30 to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a model. This week her dreams came true after sensational images of this mother of 4 surfaced on social media.

Luik´s story starts when she was about 10 years old. She would sit and cut up fashion magazines and paste pictures of models, dresses and beautiful people in her books as an inspiration. She wanted to be them, She wanted to wear the clothes and experience life as a model, She wanted to be beautiful and she wanted to be someone other people looked up to as an inspiration. Her high school years were a blur of bullying and being made fun of for being quiet and a bit dorky. “I was often laughed at for my taste in music and my dress sense and as much as I held on to my dream of modelling, I decided not to pursue it for fear of further ridicule and failure. It seemed everything I tried no matter what was received with negativity from my peers.  Instead, I hid myself away and only visited the wish of making it in the industry in my dreams, walking those catwalks and being on the front cover of a magazine, proving to every single person that said "no you can´t", "no you´re not good enough" and "you're wasting your time", that in fact I can“. Said Luik.

"I decided to take up promotional work to earn some extra money at the start of 2015, a couple of shifts in and I was starting to be approached for modelling work. I worked hard to get my body back into shape after having six babies.  The people I worked with and clients I worked for would always assume I was a 20 year old or even still in school!  It was a dream come true, I couldn't actually believe it was happening. I decided that if I ever wanted to pursue my goal it was now or never. I'm lucky to be here and I can´t take that for granted, I believe in fate and now is my time to do this. I have done my fair share of 'Free' work, travelling at my own expense and investing (not losing) my money to get myself a portfolio ." said Luik.

"Today I can honestly say I have worked with some amazing industry professionals, I have an Instagram following that I never thought I would ever achieve. I've featured on the cover and inside magazines, been approached to model overseas. I've worked with some big named Australian brands and even done a few commercials. I have started my own website and blog about balancing motherhood and my dreams and I am now the national face of “˜Beyond Coconut Water´. I see all of this as just the beginning, I want to take this as far as I can, and the sky is the limit. I want to inspire other models that just because you might not fit the typical characteristics of a famous model it doesn't mean you can´t be successful." said Luik with a smile.

"I want to inspire every single mother out there who is scared or doubtful or thinks it´s too late to turn their dreams into goals and chase them, just take the first step and stick to it. I am living proof that hard work and determination pays off. I want to also inspire anyone with financial issues stopping them from living their dream, I've slept in airports because I can´t afford accommodation but have taken the job to get further in my career." explained Luik. " I've paid for fuel with 5c pieces just to make that casting on the off chance I could be successful. I've lived off 2 minute noodles and gum for two days because I spent my last $10 on cab fare. This still happens and It´s tough, I've sacrificed a lot to pursue this but I'm here and I'm doing it and I couldn't be happier. I have a wonderful supportive husband, amazing kids and the chance to do something amazing with my life, I want my kids to know that whatever your dream is it doesn't matter, you can be and do anything you want and no one has the right to tell you otherwise."

On a recent photo shoot this week her images were spotted by Mint Management Australia . MMA specialises in high end talent to overseas major brands as well as Australian fashion houses. Luik was immediately signed to the agency and talks are now underway to have Luik model on overseas runways ASAP. I had the privilege of working with Luik flying to the Gold Coast to shoot with Bridal designer Grace Pan of Shero Fashion from Perth and Taya Jones of HollyRose Couture from the Gold Coast. Luik with Her fresh flawless complexion and experienced posing was able to shine in her own right wearing everything from 'Bikini' to 'Bridal' . Luik impressed so many with her numerous fashion shoots completed in less than 8 minutes per outfit with a 98% 'keeper' ratio on each shoot. This is unheard of on most fashion shoots . Luik simply 'Nailed It' again and again. During the shoot I couldn't help but notice a very uncanny resemblance to property developer Ivanka Trump .

Israelmore Ayivor once said , “Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in instalments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success.“ Rosie Luik is an exceptional woman who through near death experiences of her own has now inspired tens of thousands of readers on USPA24.
