Suicide Girls Modeling, Is it worth it? -
I was thinking about joining in on the SuicideGirls.com Modeling, Is it worth it? Nov 11 12 08:58 am Link Nov 11 12 08:59 am Link No. Nov 11 12 08:59 am Link Piscis Noctis wrote: Thank you Kindly Nov 11 12 09:01 am Link Anyone else have an opinion on SG? Nov 11 12 01:17 pm Link love the girls, hate the corporation. Nov 11 12 02:47 pm Link They're absolute scum, so no. Love the girls, strongly dislike the crooks who run it.

Yup, and in their photographer paperwork, which does not appear to have changed since ca 2007, they still have all the old bullshit - full assignment of all the rights, title and interest in the images, and, alternatively, if that is found by a court to be oppressive, a work-made-for-hire clause; the same old gagging clause; the same old non-compete clause; ........... the lot! Nov 11 12 07:14 pm Link lots of SG girls on zivity. Nov 11 12 07:16 pm Link SG girls are pretty skanky looking. Not sure it's the best career move. Their show on Showtime is terrible. Just terrible. I have no idea why anyone gives them money or time. Nov 11 12 10:10 pm Link You really should go check out the SG website, maybe even get a 1 month subscription so you can decide for yourself. You can also check out the model facts page, could be of some help http://suicidegirls.com/girlsfaq/  Nov 15 12 04:16 pm Link Ask anyone who has been modeling for more than 5 minutes and you'll get the same answer: NO. Nov 15 12 04:45 pm Link Absolutely Not, unless you like cliche and trendy modeling... oh and (I could be wrong) I think they get you to sign an exclusive contract when you model for them. Not cool if you want to expand your modeling. Nov 15 12 07:58 pm Link i remember these sort of threads from 5years ago ...didnt even know that SG was still around Nov 15 12 08:12 pm Link I did one shoot for sg and used an sg photographer i paid her $300 to do a hopefuls set and have major issues with her ever since. she ignores when i ask about my set and will not submit it into MR. i made sure before hand she is affiliated with the site. Sep 28 13 09:41 am Link Where do new people find old threads like this? Sep 28 13 11:12 pm Link Marie I believe in you, there's more to life than committing suicide. Trust me I was at that point in life as well, but I have moved on to bigger and greater things, like blowing bubbles and rearranging my sock drawer. Whatever you do don't give up Sep 29 13 01:15 am Link I prefer Zivity Sep 29 13 01:23 am Link Little Prince wrote:
Sep 29 13 01:24 am Link SG has a horrible reputation related to past deeds. I have seen nothing that causes me to have a new opinion of them and if I become aware of a model even intending to shoot with SG, I will not work with her. I don't need the hassle. BTW, I looked at your port and saw your escort policy. Although I generally won't allow any "escort" (true "creatives" - as in MUAs, wardrobe assistants, stylists, etc. - are fine), I especially wouldn't allow yours, because you have stated that the person would most likely be your BF. Been there, done that, have the horror stories to tell. Once again, I don't need the hassle. I'm all for safety and models shooting with folks who they think will advance their modeling business. How they go about those two things, however, can make a great deal of difference in whether or not they actually do advance. Sep 29 13 10:35 am Link It's suicide for your career.

I just did a shoot for a girl we figured it out we could make a fast turn around and more money if we just turned it into a calendar. She read all about SG and decided against it because she will loose all rights to photos. We have it set up so if she wants to sell autographs she can. They have strict rules to make there company grow at little or no cost to them. Some of the girls are even getting sued. I understand the legality. Its to make the corporate giants. I do not like the fact that its ethically crap. Sep 30 13 01:49 am Link heard of them, never saw what is about. now I think I pretty much got it, especially the "suicide" part Sep 30 13 09:05 am Link |
