Helpful hints to how models can protect themselves from being
ripped-off by
internet advertisers claiming to be agents or photographers.This can be a touchy subject because if a model becomes too much of a
pest then
a agent might not want to bother. Just explain to them that you've
been ripped
off in the past and you simply want to protect yourself from that in
the future
and you would like just 3 minutes of their time to ask a few
questions. Any
real agent shouldn't have much of a problem providing you with the
basic general information.1. Get the name of the owner, the address of the business and the
phone number.
Call the BBB in that area (search google for the phone number) or
look them up
on the BBB's website to see if there has been any complaints and
verify they're
a real business.
2. Search google with the owner's name, the company's name and the
address to
see if you get postings from angry customers or clients
3. If the owner or anyone working at the company asks you to call them
on a
different number than their business number do a search of that number.
4. Ask questions like how long have they been in business? How many
models
work for them? How many models did they place into jobs last month?
etc
5. Ask for contact information for references of companies they've
worked with
or models that work for them. Call the references and ask questions.
6. Be wary of any "schools" that claim they'll "teach you" how to
model, act,
etc. If you really need to learn how to put make-up on and smile and
have the
money to spend that's great, but don't expect them to actually find you
any
work. Also their low price might become very expensive very fast by
asking that
you purchase make-up, pay extra for a photographer, pay for comp
cards, flyers,
entrance fees into various fashion or model shows (which are likely
free), etc. I had this problem with Barbizon several years ago,
fortunately a relative thought I was model material and paid for everything
because I would have never gone myself and now I know I could have done
everything for free.
7. NEVER GO TO PHOTO SHOOTS OR PROMOTIONS ALONE, especially if it's
not in a public place or if you're the only model for the assignment.

Recently (2006), there has been more discussion about Flight 93 and I understand that a movie is being released about the tragedy. This is the black pilot that flew the plane that went down in Pennsylvania. They never gave him tribute. They always talked about every one else. On September 11, 2001, LeRoy was flying with Captain Jason Dahl on United Flight 93. Based on information from several sources that day, we know LeRoy and Jason were the first to fight against the terrorist threat to the airplane. LeRoy has received many awards and citations posthumously, for his actions on Flight 93, including the Congress Of Racial Equality - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Award, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference - Drum Major for Justice Award and the Westchester County Trailblazer Award.
