I am also broke. There must be some slightly easier way to stop being screwed over.Dr. Xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03933474475955619694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555322797397038281.post-59416177533126070482007-03-23T08:17:00.000-06:002007-03-23T08:17:00.000-06:00Yes I know about the Ujena scam they run every year. On that competition the model MUST BUY the Ujena swimwear. And your right it will cost the model any where from 500 to 1000+ dollars. <BR/><BR/>Also if you disagree with onemodelplace or their associates then you are automatically labeled unprofessional and a trouble maker. If you ask me that's in itself is unprofessional in so many ways.<BR/><BR/>OK, now here is a comment you wont like. On these sites (any of them)there sole purpose is for marketing and networking yourself, so in that regard its a tool and its only as good as in how you use it. And modeling is a hit or miss business and you as a model MUST have thick skin! One photographer might hate you, but then the next will love you. I always tell the story of Kathy Kinney (Mimi Bobeck Carey) from the Drew Carey show. She STARTED as a model! Granted she was a plus size model, but none the less she had to over come hurtles to be what she is now. <BR/><BR/>If your serious about modeling, then you need to HIT it hard! Talk to everyone, get a nice book put together. The book will cost some money, most professional ones do. Its all in how hard you want it.<BR/><BR/>As far as agencies... I would say apply to as many as you can. but have a good book put together before you do. Also look at all the casting calls you can find. Even look at craigslist, some of the ones in the talent area are legit.<BR/><BR/>Just remember the sites, the agencies, your book are all just tools. It how you use them that counts.<BR/><BR/>JPjohn.peterman@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07746864469147126854noreply@blogger.com
