[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 355284, member: 6546"] helpme-- Yes, I think you are right about it being a common phase. The "modeling agency" scams are the least of my worries... I [I]am[/I] runway height...and I modelled for several years when I was younger, but I quickly got burned out and disgusted with the whole business. It was absolutely disgusting how many times a legitimate gig led to an inappropriate proposition. There was plenty of money to be had for young women who were willing to provide a few extra "services" to the boss. And it was disgusting how free everybody felt to just put their hands all over you or watch you getting dressed or whatever. But Hey--they hired you....and as far as they were concerned you were just a piece of meat. They were free to critique and criticize and pad you where you weren't big enough and wrap you with tape where you weren't small enough. It was a killer on self-esteem. I swore I would never let any daughter of mine be treated that way. And that's [I]real[/I] modelling through a professional agency. As you said, there are waaayyy too many scammers out there ready and willing to take advantage of these girls and their big dreams. Some are these "modelling schools" - but some are "freelance photographers", and other creeps who offer to "get you into the business"...and they're gonna do you this HUGE favor by getting you that big break....so can't you please do stuff for them in return??? Right now, difficult child is far too willing to make herself available. She'll be an easy target. [/QUOTE]
