Models...If you must have a Manger do your reseach 1st

Models PLEASE... I repeat PLEASE, if you HAVE to have a "manager" (sigh idk y, but anyway) Make sure they know at least SOMETHING about management and ummmmm "MODELING". Talking to some of these dummy's i can tell they have NOOO idea what im talking about, hell sometime i just make up terms and say random shit just to amuse myself.... But in short, your missing opportunity's dealing with these jokers...
 
 
I asked this one joker if his model was registered under the DCF77.1 to make sure she can be legally paid for a project under DC law... This asshole said yea, its all taken care of, she can be paid.... Do yall know what DCF77.1 is? Shit its a electrician term for a transmitter to broadcasting a time signal in Germany, i added on the .1 to be a smart ass to myself LMAOooooo. That idoit actually said yea to that shit lol

Perfect example of using inspiration without STEALING

Here is a perfect example of using inspiration of a idea without STEALING it from the original user. While watching old videos like i always do when im bored, i put on the Ciara "Promise" video, and there in it i seen something that caught my attention that i thought hell, id love to shoot that (BUT IN MY OWN VERSION).

So while viewing it i paused it on certain parts and took a few screen captures of it. I contacted two different models that i thought would be good for bringing this idea to life with my twist on it. Both models declined the idea, so i went on to another model i thought would knock it out. Im so glad now both of them passed on it now that i look at the images.


Anyway point is, when you see a idea you like its ok to duplicate it as long as you put your own spin on it...This is just my two cents... Below are the screen shots of the video that i presented to the models and got the idea from.


Point also,
STOP being scared to try different shit, you fail when you DON'T try.
 
 
 
Points of interest in video 2:30 and though out.
 

A few shots from my shoot

Why being published means SHIT now and days

NOT HATING BUT TEACHING RATHER. 
I have turned down Countless "publication" offers for this reason right here... This is a tear sheet from a Publication, SMFH, its so much wrong with this on so many levels i could go on for days... Now do you see why i say being Published means NOTHING now and days...This is NOT a knock on anybody who's published or anything, but come the fuck on lol. There needs to be a standard set in this industry, and i refuse to submit work to a mag that passes shit like this on.
 
 Its going to be hard for ANYBODY to tell her anything about anything now.  "Is there anybody you look up to in the modeling industry?"
Of course shes going to say Tyra and Naiomy (Which is spelled Naomi).  THAT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN MODELING SHE KNOWS OF!!!!!
