I have always been told to go out for modeling (I'm 5'10" and measurements are 34/25/34) but I have always been slightly self-conscious and too afraid of being rejected by agencies. Now I am not self-conscious and I actually want to go for it, but I have one slight problem. I'm from NJ but I will be studying abroad in Hawaii starting in early January until mid May, I have been looking at a few agencies in New York but I am unsure as to if I should try to get signed to an agency here in NY or wait til I go to Hawaii. I have heard the term "Mother agency" but I do not know exactly what that is or how it would work. I could really use your advice, thank you.<br /><br />I tried to post this comment earlier but idk if it went through so I'm trying again, if it did go through then whoops, my bad.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08136714543495583621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-59009345755718841162016-04-03T19:29:21.538-07:002016-04-03T19:29:21.538-07:00Hi, Anonymous!

After spending the past few months in NYC, I figured out that modeling isn't for me, and I'll be going back to school starting jan. 2016. My issue is, I've racked up copious amounts of debt with my agency and have no idea what's going to happen if i don't get enough jobs to pay it off. Their model apartment is insanely expensive (6 girls each paying 2200/month in a 2 bedroom), and i got very few jobs while i was here. The most frustrating part is for an entire month and a half of my 4 month stay, my agency booked me out and wouldnt let me work because my skin was bad. They insisted i stay in new york even though i wasnt working. I have 2 more months to try and get my debt down, but they're very mean to me, unapproachable, and not understanding of my VERY tight finacial situation which is hindering me from staying here now that they've cut me off from pocket money. I'd really like to leave NOW for the sake of my mental health and bank account, but i dont know how I'd go about breaking my contract with the debt complication.<br />Thanks!

What is bothering me is the part stating something along the lines of "the mother agency is allowed to sign contracts in the name of the model." Is this common or should I be worried? (I don't want others signing stuff for me without my consent or knowledge as to the particular contracts) I haven't found any information about this on the Internet. Also, it's stated that they are allowed to use my name, photos, voice (which is ok, but also...) and something like "CV information" in the media. Any idea why it is even there? I am a little worried, because "CV information" includes my address and contact information.<br />Otherwise they seem like a solid agency, judging from the fact that they will only expect payment for their initial investments after I earn money via their help.<br />Thank you.Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-30783448643559038582014-08-31T10:26:44.018-07:002014-08-31T10:26:44.018-07:00Hi, Anonymous!

She has had ZERO auditions, castings, paid jobs, etc. I have emailed the owner of the agency and have not had any response from the last two emails. He only emails back when it is for his benefit to ask for someone to volunteer to do something with no pay, but for exposure.

There is a lot on my mind about college and what I am wanting to do after graduation. I am going to be attending college in Amsterdam, hopefully the fall semester of 2015.<br />This summer one of my modeling friends recommended that I attend the Runway Loud fashion show in August. She guarantees that I will get signed with an agency if I go. Considering that I am "exactly what they're all looking for" at 17 and 6ft tall, and as thin as a board. She says they would snatch me up in a heartbeat. <br />Should I sign with a modeling agency if I have the chance? Even though I will be leaving for college in just a little over a year that is halfway across the world?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-76501231974374598972014-05-08T10:21:28.226-07:002014-05-08T10:21:28.226-07:00Hi, Anonymous!

I want to continue to model in Cali and wasn't sure if I can be with other agency like la models or elite and also with my agency now because agencies like that are also exclusive? Would i be possible? Do i just do a submission to cali agencies or do I let my agency deal with it?

Also, I signed the contract, not knowing if it is 100% legal to sign a contract, if I am a student on an F-1 student visa who is about to go through an adjustment of status? I am trying to get out of this contract as soon as possible, and I also sent a request letter to be released from the agency, professionally explaining my situation and the information I'm concerned about. Any ideas? Is this even legal to sign a contract with an agency, even when at the last page of the contract it's asking for my SSN, but it's just left blank by the agency?<br /><br />Thanks a lot!Stenlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194166514897261254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768796656331806390.post-72359049913941549692014-01-17T13:13:14.112-08:002014-01-17T13:13:14.112-08:00Hi, Anonymous!
