Walpole was the leader in agency's here, are they not around any more??? My experience agency's don't work as models just take the photographers numbers & you can't stop that really.. x

Hi EML....

What about those girls spending hours and hours emailing or txting photographers and producers and never got any replay even sayin "no thanks" or " you're not my type"? What about the newbies - where and how they suppose to find their way round? I found BGAFD by accident 6-7 months ago and I'm tryin to do "Adult Modeling" for almost 2 years.....

I was signed to Walpole and never got or heard anything from him apart from Fiona Cooper (beggining of last year), I was signed for Blue Dimonds Models too (before Walpole) and never ever ever heard anything from them. I changed my appearance, levels.....and there is no one out there to fix that in their sites...

I mailed few weeks ago both "agencies" that I'm not interested "working" with/for them and never got any replay.. probably I won't in anyway...

I'd really be happy if there is a let's say LA Direct Models but UK version to save me and all newbies comming up the troubles and I agrovation!

Well Kim,

I'm only saying what i know.. I ran a agency for a few months & never charged the models commission to find out the models were taking the numbers off the producers... If Ivor thinks it will work then go for it.. I'm a model to in the same boat as everyone else, so don't attack me..

The reason for LA Direct doing so well is because there is a great industry in the US.. Not here.. It works the same in the US as it does here.. If your not right for the part you don't get booked.. I been in this industry a long time working for Direst Models but doesn't mean the own is a great person!!!! He'll get you work but doesn't mean it's good work!!!

Free sites wreak this industry.. That's a fact.. The US can afford big budgets.. Why do you think all the old school stars are in the states not here!!!

I'm not having a go.. Just facts!!! x

+1

Everyone wants to be paid, but no-one wants to pay out for anything.

Yeah to right.. That includes rates.. Everyone is always after a good deal.. We all can't live & pay bills on Fresh Air.. x

I'm in the process of building a model agency that will deal with producers, models, MUA's and hopefully locations as well.

Watch this space!
