I don't get it. I was contacted by a wannabe model on myspace. Crazy girl wanted to shoot nude and didn't want money. (I know, that should have been my first warning, but I tend to trust people, what can I say?) Anyway, we e-mailed several times, made arrangements. Wouldn't you know it - SHE SHOWED UP! And on TIME even! What the hell?! I don't know where she gets off acting like that! Then, to top it off, she ticked off every pose I asked for, just like clockwork.
Now I probably shouldn't admit it, but this has happened to me several times, not only with myspace, but with MM models too. I know, you're probably all asking how many times it takes me to learn my lesson. I guess I'm just a sucker. How can I avoid this in the future?
Someone really needs to tell these freaking web models to quit acting like responsible professionals! Models, take some advice: if you wannabe a web model, you better flake like you mean it. Otherwise no one will ever take you seriously! When I go to the web for a model, I expect a flake, and I'm getting really sick of being disappointed.

Just what we need... As if we do not already have enough problems with how we are perceived, THESE models come along and throw off the entire business model... Damn!

Recently I had a model show up for a morning shoot with a cup of fresh coffee and a brand muffin for me. The nerve.
Then one few days ago insist on buying me dinner.

I can sympathize! I had the exact same problem with a model from New York City who not only accepted my invitation to do nude poses TFCD, but when we had to change her return flight to NY so she could make it to Tampa for FetishCon, actually paid for the expense of the new ticket. I won't out her here, but you can look for the stunning redhead on my port.
If this kind of behavior becomes epidemic on ModelMayhem, what the hell will photographers have to complain about.

Myspace owns MM for finding reliable models who actually PAY. Everyone expects TFBullshit on MM or wants to be paid and thats if they dont flake.

How about those models who call way in advance to cancel a shoot. Makes me look bad when I have to reschedule a week before a shoot.

Edit: (OK, it was also kind of poking fun at all you guys who constantly bitch about models, but that's still a form of fun).

I know huh.. what really pisses me off is when they book and pay in advance for the MUA and then show up with cash and pay before the shoot. I REALLY can't handle all that.
