They may love fashion, they may be attracted to the glamour of dressing up and posing for the camera, they may want to get out of there small hometowns, or they may want to express themselves creatively. Some may harbor a secret desire to become rich and famous--or at least to make some extra money and be the center of attention for a short time.
