Modeling in the real world (a list) (my 1st rant)
Great points! It is so true, but the weak ones never make it. Aug 24 07 10:53 pm Link pinkness21 wrote: EBBYYYYY, where you been girl? Give us some wisdom! Aug 25 07 12:45 am Link The Peabo wrote: Very true. I think Lauren is still waiting for you to turn 18. Hehehe. Aug 25 07 05:07 pm Link Finally no bullshit, haha! Aug 25 07 05:18 pm Link Peabo: I agree with what several people have said saying this was an important rant. There was very good and very important information in there. Thank you. Aug 25 07 05:22 pm Link Bridgettt wrote: It amazes me that many photographers have mentioned the same as Peabo (well said BTW), but have been crucified here on MM for such sentiments. Aug 25 07 05:26 pm Link Peabo, You speak from experience and tell the truth on this. Awesome analogy on the real world. I just hope everyone who needs to read this, does. Great job xoxo Tiffany Aug 25 07 05:26 pm Link Peabo is my favorite redhead ever.  Aug 25 07 05:32 pm Link Sandy Ramirez wrote: Haha... that's because we models are touchy and if someone other than a fellow model says it, it comes across as condescending. Aug 25 07 05:33 pm Link Karl Philip Duarte wrote: That's so true. Actually the whole list is actually very helpful for new and older (for those who need a reminder) models. I've already known those rules (except for the ramen. haha but I already love it). Seriously, this business is tough. You gotta keep on going and not let anything trample you down. Aug 25 07 05:36 pm Link Two Thumbs up bro, excellently written, and the honest truth! Aug 25 07 05:45 pm Link Thanks guys....maybe I should "rant" more...

We should hang!! You're here!! Aug 25 07 10:14 pm Link Good read Peabo. Aug 27 07 12:55 am Link Thanks...I am usually short and to the point...lol Not this time Aug 27 07 01:42 pm Link I'm slow to the forums lately.... Best rant I've read. I made it all the way through, which is a first. Way to go! Aug 27 07 05:31 pm Link Tenley Nordstrom wrote: what if you are a size 6 but 140lbs...do they go by sizes or by weight, or both??

Aug 28 07 04:51 pm Link this helps alot glad i have a tough skin sounds like im going to need it!!! lol good luck to all Aug 29 07 12:02 am Link Awesome rant Peabo. They should make that mandatory reading for all models on this site. Unfortunately you can tell someone something until you are blue in the face and they still won't get it!!! Great look btw! Wayne Sclesky Aug 29 07 12:13 am Link hahaha, i love this, i printed it off and taped it on the door of our models apartment and emailed it to my booker, he thought it was great....nicely put man Aug 29 07 10:01 am Link Wayne Sclesky wrote: Thanks so much! And I agree with the blue in the face statement...been there Aug 30 07 07:50 am Link Lesley Alexandra wrote: Cool...I have been in the girls models apartment...finally Aug 30 07 07:51 am Link perfect timing. keep bumping this for the newbies...

There's been so little about our little world of fashion models/photographers, etc on TV or the big screen that's ever rang even remotely true. (Hell, I should've written one myself...) Aug 30 07 08:17 am Link I've heard of doing test shoots... but I have never heard of so much TFP ... It really cheapens the work of the photographer... Aug 30 07 09:22 am Link Tyra Banks says that fashion models are becoming less elite due to the rise of celebrity endorsement...

Aug 30 07 09:29 am Link one to add you do not get to bring an escort when you're a professional model any more than you get to bring an escort when you're a professional bank teller. no one is going to pay for your creepy "manager" to fly with you and they're sure as hell not going to let him hang around and distract you while the rest of the crew waits.

Aug 30 07 09:33 am Link Useful and well-written. Aug 30 07 09:33 am Link just saw this... good job Peabo Aug 30 07 09:34 am Link I find the whole "escort" thing a little weird and personally, I find it unprofessional... Who brings a person with them to an interview? or when one is working, who brings someone with them to keep them company? I can understand maybe with a young minor... but not with an adult... Models that are minors in NYC signed with agencies even do go-sees/interviews on their own.... Why, I ask in all of my ignorance, do people from smaller cities need escorts at an adult age?

People used to laugh at "friend of friend" stories, now they believe them. Aug 30 07 09:43 am Link pet project wrote: **NOTED** Aug 30 07 12:45 pm Link |
