There's been some great advice on this thread. I agree with most of it, and with Chip (Boyfunk) in particular - wise words there.

My experience of models (we've worked with over 400 on British Twinks) is that the nicer you are to people, the more work you'll get. Producers are pretty much like any other employer, we NEED people who can do the job but we WANT people who are reliable, honest and fun to hang out with. Models who trade on their looks alone rarely do as well as models who can deliver the whole package.
