Another amazing post from the resident idiot. Congrats!

Let's be constuctive. Tomsk has highlighted an irritation in part of the process of model/photographer relationship. Is it possible to charge a non-returnable deposit? The girls has to pay you to photograph her. When this verbal agreement is reached if either party reneges then the other party keeps the non-returnable deposit.

What about a bonus scheme - if she does indeed turn up then she is paid 20% extra? If she doesn't then she loses the non-refundable deposit.

Both parties pay say - 20% of the total of the shoot. If no-show then person who turns up keeps the pot of gold .

Most studios charge the photographers (or model depends whos booking the studio) a deposit so if the photographer doesnt show but the model does then the model walks away with money and its not a waste of a travel (or vise versa) i think thats a good scheme i mean if you intend to show up and get the refund then why would putting money upfront to a 3rd party cause an issue, unless you dont intend to come?

So what you do about it is just bitch? Bitching as an an enjoyable past time, a pressure release? Or can you be more constructive? Avoid drug taking alcoholic models?

I fail to see anything idiotic about it. This kind of thing is a real issue and Tomsk has got the balls (and it seems, the money) to voice the real issues that other insiders sidestep - either because they are too 'cuddly' or because they wish to ingratiate themselves with models in the hope of getting a shag (as they'd be struggling on Civi St) or becuase they don't want to rock the boat and deal with any flak from simpering nutmegs (fans) who don't know jack.

Tomsk, sign it over to me. I always wanted to be able to say "Your ass is mine!" and mean it!

I am curious as to why you (Tomsk) always feel the need to stress how much money you have. And each time I hear the story it gets a little larger. What's next - you live on a private island?

Overcompensating for other shortcomings?
