This.  If you're going to contact someone seeking paid work, that should be in the initial message.

If I'm contacted by a model that wants to work with me, unless the message says otherwise, I will assume that she is requesting TF or is possibly willing to pay me.

While I agree with " dedication", I've had some less than ideal experiences with the traveling lot; jet lagged, anxious to get on the road, over-booked, under-booked and just plain road weary models. Geographically I'm an hour out of NYC and 1.5 out of Philly so locating what I need in the way of models is an easy chore... Still the traveling girls some how fit into a different class. The recurring problem I find with the traveling set is that I have limited time and budget for personal projects and they somehow never have the day that I do open.
