Cleopatra Here!
Hi, I'm Cleopatra. My real name is Sienna, but I love Cleopatra and all things Ancient Egypt. I'm racially ambiguous. I am a mixture of Korean, Filipino, French-Canadian and African-American. I turned 18 this past December. I live in beautiful sunny Southern California, in Orange County. I had some training at Barbizon (I know some of you aren't fans), but I liked the experience and made friends and met some cool people in the industry. I am not afraid of being the center of attention, so I don't mind being on stage. I sing (some training), rap, write lyrics and have little training in acting. I am a skater, SHORT (5'2") and am the oldest of 3 siblings. I understand that being petite means I won't be on the stage like Tyra Banks, Christi Turlington or Iman, but I don't mind other means of modeling where you could use a shorty like me. My father is a musician and my mother is a massage therapist and although she prefers not to be in the spotlight is a writer and artist. My dad's dad is also a musician and a published author. My mom's mom used to sing in Korea. So, I do have a talented background. I am on Model Mayhem in hopes to build my network of models and photographers, stylists and artisans. Feel free to send me a friend request and let's work together. May 04 15 01:56 pm Link Welcome to the mayhem. Watch out for the asps. May 04 15 03:27 pm Link Toto Photo wrote: Thanks.

May 04 15 10:19 pm Link Welcome to the Mayhem Good ways to network are on the banner bar at the top of all MM pages: browse, castings, and forums. Browse for photographers in your area and leave comments on images you like, send a friend request (click on heart icon on profile page) or private message (click on envelope icon on profile page in the upper right corner - mouse over the icons for a description). Start a list of photographer's photos that you think are top notch for photographers in your area. This can become something of a Rolodex. Make sure that you select the Advanced Options and select an appropriate Logged in within:. I typically use 30 days, but you may want people who respond faster. Otherwise you will get photographers who haven't logged in in over a year. There are a lot of inactive accounts. Post an availability notice letting people know that you are available (under the castings tab). You are announcing your availability to work on other people's projects. This is for when you want to charge other people money. You can offer trade as well. Search for Casting Calls in your area based on criteria you select. Post a Casting Call letting people know about an idea you have and want to put into a work of art. This is for when you are willing to pay other people. You can offer trade as well.

Look on the front page for members offering comments for comments, and comment on their photos. Also make an announcement yourself. Post a bulletin by going to My stuff > bulletins. Friends can see the bulletins you post. Be active in the forums, but avoid trolls who start threads just to watch the ensuing flame war. Avoid threads that beat the over GWC's, flakes, escorts, ..., etc. Use the forum search to look for posts on your topic. Make positive constructive comments. Whenever you get published, add some new photos, or accomplish anything in general, post an announcement in the Accomplishments, Achievements and High Fives forum. When people see your forum post the first thing they see is your avatar. It has to be interesting enough for them to want to click on it and look at your portfolio.
