Yes, but I was only joking, and for what its worth, I wish you all the luck in the world - HOWEVER - What I posted (in jest) is 100% relevant...
Lets say you did want to drive a fast expensive car... Would you make a post asking if anyone had one you could 'have a go in?' or would you simply book one of the many 'event days' that allow you to do just that?
Example:
RedLetterDays
Point being that if you really WANT to do something - You can ! Thats the joy of life ! You CAN DO whatever you want (within reason...) But guess what?
Nothings for FREE !
So, hit up Terry, offer to PAY HIM to shoot you and PAY HIM for a girl... If you do great, you have a showreel... If you cant perform - So what? At least you tried...
Likewise Paul of AIR offers the same service... You PAY HIM - He shoots and arranges the girl etc... But you PAY for it...
Just like the driving experience...
Hell, even I can provide a girl, location, lights, pro shooters, camera equipment and organise the entire thing for you... But, as it would mean me coming out of retirement, I'd ask a lot more than the two suggested people above... So its a moot point...
But what IS the point, is that you IF YOU REALLY want it - Its there - But you need to pay...
No one is gonna organise a shoot, and give you a chance to 'see if you can perform' for FREE - In the EXACT same way as no one is gonna just let you jump in their ferrari, to 'see if you can perform' for FREE...
So go on, knock yourself out... Enjoy it... But dont expect strangers to FUND it for you !
