Phones & Gifts!!!! The Gift of Sex!
We are preparing to get set up for filming this weekend in Philadelphia. We have 11 new models lined up. When a new model contacts us wanting to model, we literally bug them, we talk to them once a day, we keep in tight contact with that model. The day of the shoot, we talk 2-3 times. (Our shoots are weekend long).
Today, I was asking each model, "Why do you want to model for us?"
Seriously - 5 models said they want to model for us because of something to do with their cellular service such as:
I need a new phone.
I need to leave one company and go to the other.
I need to pay my bill.
I need to get a phone.
One model said he's coming to model because his nephew's third birthday is Monday and he needs to get him a gift and he's broke.
We used to pay models $X amount up front, and then X amount of months of residuals. We now pay up front cash on a 1099 and no residuals. We are also now flying models in.
All I have to say is thank god for cellular service for job security and birthday gifts!
I just thought this would be fun to share.
