Are black models getting old?
That depends on what you mean by "old." Many of the successful black models today have been modeling for decades and in that sense are older, age-wise (Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Iman). However, there has never really been a huge demand in the fashion industry for models of color, especially black models. Many top designers refuse to use black models in their shows (with the exception of young models such as Chanel Iman), and it continues to be difficult for black models to break into the industry in this way. So black models are not getting "old" because they were never really in high demand to begin with. If anything, many black models are being excluded from the modeling industry and miss opportunities that often get passed to other ethnicites.

If models can be fat then why cant they be short?
It is not appropriate to call larger models "fat." In the modeling industry they are referred to as plus size models. Although they wear a larger dress size, they are still required to maintain strict measurements and must still be tall (5'8"-6'0") like traditional fashion models. There are short models, mainly in commercial/print modeling (5'5"-5'7") as well as petite modeling (5'0"-5'7"...many in the industry consider anyone under 5'7" to be petite). Unfortunately, there is no demand in the market for petite models, which is why it is much harder for models in this field to find work. Right now the demand is for plus size models, which reflects the growing trend of women's dress sizes getting larger, hence the need for the appropriate kind of models. Short models exist, they are just not in demand at the moment.

Once you have stopped modeling, you are free to pursue whatever career you wish as long as you have the proper training and credentials.
