I feel so stupid I even fell for it in the first place but I forked out $500 for photographs that looked no better than the ones I didn’t pay for, that I got done through a freelance photographer. Apparently the ones I had weren’t “good” enough. The “professional” make up artist was probably someone they hired that same day, she just tossed some powder in my face like “here ya go”, that should of been the wake up call. I went to an audition/casting for American Crew down in Miami for my amusement and the guys there were really, really, can’t put enough emphasis on really, immersed in their modeling careers. The photographer, which seemed enthralled with the models there, gladly photographed them with much gusto, even flattering them. At one point I thought he was hitting on them. However, when it came time to snap my pictures, me being last of course, his whole demeanor changed. He probably tossed my pictures out. Nevertheless, waste of time, money and gas. Let’s be honest, a guy standing 5’5 with an “ethnically ambiguous” background as they so kindly put it, isn’t going to make it far in modeling. Let alone does anybody pay any attention to me, much less is Wes Anderson going to pick me out to cast me in one of his films. But those vacuous enough to actually believe they’re destined for Hollywood pay thousands and these modeling agencies will GLADLY take your money and keep patting you on the back telling you better luck next time, and sell you on the idea that you’ll make it someday because “you’re important”. Don’t you know? Everybody is a genius, everybody is beautiful these days. Tap into peoples fantasies and see how far you go. Needless to say, I’d like my money back.
