TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE… When models receive exciting news – I am excited for them. When I receive a phone call from a model that she is being considered for America’s Next Top Model, or is being considered by a major modeling agency, I am overcome with pride to see that their hard work is leading them somewhere. Equally, when I receive a call from a model that an agency that seems to have no professional presence or history wants to sign them, I am skeptical. And concerned. I am left asking the hard questions, like, “If this is a legitimate agency, why don’t they have a physical office address? Why don’t they have an official webpage? Why is their email a “Yahoo” address?” Sometimes, there is a possibility that the model is about to be swept away into the exciting world of high fashion – sometimes, the model is about to be scammed. When a model tell me that she is being hired by a major agency (sight unseen except for her Internet photos – being paid huge sums of money – and then shares that she got the assignment by answering a Craigslist ad – not good. NO legitimate agency, with the resources to pay models large amounts of money, would generally use Craigslist, social network services, or event modeling Internet sites to select models – they generally book directly through modeling agencies or talent agencies. Generally, if a tell a model an offer sounds too good to be true – it usually is! Brian Thornton, Publisher Modern Model Page 2 Stephen D. Miller, ExecuBve Editor
