I'm a make-up artist and I've been in Orlando, FL for 2 years.  I'm really having a hard time finding professionals that are in the know.  I'm really trying to get my work into some editorial material.  Does anyone have any advice or connects?

well honestly this industry is an up hill battle, you cant just expect a free ride. you need to net work, get your name out there. Do free stuff if you have too. Be patient and well you must have confidence too.
there are no free rides and everyone feels the way you are feeling in the begining unless they have luck.

I hear sexual favors are the way to go these days....

Seriously, though, its like Mandy said. Work hard and eventually, it will pay off...maybe.

I'd like to make a suggestion that you contact XtremeArtists for some pointers. As far as I can tell (on and off this site), he's been on the level with me about many things. He could provide some good pointers and, or leads. There's at least a few more photographers in FL whose work is outstanding and represents a range of knowledge, but their name escapes me at the moment.
