So few Models
Apparently, finding models is a lot more difficult than we thought: http://msn.careerbuilder.com/Article/MS … 2915_home1 I am going to be even more grateful next time I am able to line up a shoot! Feb 12 12 05:43 am Link Apparently we need to work on upping the number of skilled "Model makers: wood" so that we can churn out some more models... Feb 12 12 05:47 am Link It should be easier with the internet but somehow it's become harder than it once was. I think a lot of potential models don't want to be splashed on the internet.

That's about $20.46 an hour. Guess I'm over paying.

Feb 12 12 12:12 pm Link I think they must be talking about a specific kind of modeling, too. My regular job is as a figure model. True, when people ask me what I do, I say I'm a FIGURE model (I don't just say I'm a model, because the connotations are different). But yeah--I model for a damn living (and man, I WISH I made 42,000 a year!). Figure modeling is modeling, it's just a specific kind of modeling. Also, both actors and models do television commercials--how do they separate who defines themselves as what? And are they counting glamour models? Models in the adult industry? Considering they seem to think a model is only a real model if you've seen a billboard with them on it, probably not. American Apparel often uses their own shop girls in their advertising. I guess girls who work at American Apparel are more "real" models than, well, real models.

Breaking modeling jobs down hourly isn't valid. Feb 12 12 12:33 pm Link Tog wrote: I think we have more than enough wooden models. Some more expressive ones might be nice, though.
