Well this was kind of odd.. OMP asking to post
I just got an email from a Dyesebel Catada a marketing representative for One Model Place asking to post a casting call I have up on here over there. Funny thing is I'm not a member of One Model Place. So what would be the point? Well that and is it normal for One Model Place to do this? Like are thing so dead over at One Model Place that they have to play little tricks like this to stay relevant in the industry? Or what is the deal here?

If the request came from a different MM account, you may want to report it to the moderators at www.modelmayhem.com/contactamod Jul 25 14 12:01 pm Link It's funny that OMP used to censor emails, messages, and portfolios by deleting the words ModelMayhem or MM. They were afraid of losing members to MM. I think that was one of the many reasons so many people left OMP and don't intend on ever going back. Now they're beggin MM members to use their castings. Jul 25 14 12:05 pm Link I heard from her as well, within the past week. She asked me if she could share my Casting Call with the models on OMP. At first I was like "sure!" to myself, but then I realized....the only Casting I had up, the one she was referring to, was for Makeup Artists and Hairstylists  It's some kinda scam, or an attempt to drive MMers to *look at and consider OMP (I didn't).

I had 3 models contact me.. NONE have come through so guess it did me or them very little good.

Haven't shot anyone from there but I have communicated with a couple of models. They even used some of my images in their showcase and one of the four scrolling images is my B&W headshot. Go figure.
