hey gorgeous! wink

it is always better to go in person if that is a possibility
why?
pictures are easy to ignore
after sorting through hundreds of photo applicants,  yours may be skimmed past
pictures only show a percentage of why they're hiring you
photos arent always accurate depictions of people they may be hiring

tongue

Thanks! So on top of that, I've read plenty of forums and lists of what are good agencies to go to in the LA area. What are your personal recommendations that I should spend some personal time going to?

If I gave Eryn tips when she joined, does that make me worthy of being an official 3rd list mentor now, also for Toronto?

Can makeup artists be mentors? Or is this just for models/photographers?

hmmm not off the top of m head, i have heard some mentioned but not nearly as much as the fashion agencies sad  you're probably better off to run a forum search and see what pops up.  i would think there would be quite a  bit of them out there




oh and evelyn,  i sent you a message with a port assessment for ya

Hi Sian

In answer to this question, yes there will be a MUA Mentor list. Once I am happy that the 2nd & 3rd LISTS are running smoothly, I will launch the '5th LIST' (the 4th LIST is already taken). So watch this space!
