Could I be a model?

I measure exactly 5'7" and I'm 127 Ibs. I know that sounds heavy but I weigh more than I look. My hips are 33". I'm obviously not tall enough to do runway but I was thinking I could do catalogues or makeup ads maybe. A lot of people tell me things like, "You should send your pictures to some of these magazines, you're really slim and pretty." Of course they don't really know anything about modeling but I'm just curious, do I really have what it takes to be a model?
Here are some pics. In some of them I'm wearing excessive makeup and I know it looks ridiculous but I just thought they were kind of cool pictures.

Yes you could be a model in terms of that height, though generally top models are 5'9" or taller.

In terms of the look, then being traditionally beautiful is no guarantee of modelling success because agencies tend to look for someone with an edge and perhaps even something that is not considered natural beauty.

Just be persistent and you never know what luck may bring!

I have seen quite a few people here ask the question can I be a model?

What I am suggesting is that you all upload proper photos of yourselves and then let the members here comment on whether you have a look that is interesting and edgy enough to be a model.

I have noticed off TV shows with models on that actually they look a bit weird or different rather than being attractive as such!
