For now, it seems that she's okay.  She's really deeply touched that so many people that have never met or talked to her, would reach out and save the day.

I can't help but admit that a couple times reading that people reached out - I got a little teary. 

I'm just happy that she's safe.

And how are you doing ...I would imagine it tough dealing w the guilt of seeing that girl off w only $10 in her pocket ( and then of course what happened)?

Britt, you are awesome and sweet.

Thank you but really I don't deserve any credit or acknowledgment with regards to this unfortunate situation (which thanks to everyone ended up turning into a very positive situation,  but in reality, it is Christian and everyone else who really deserves the gold crown on this one! But thank you so much anyway! I appreciate it a lot! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I must agree with Christian.....6or the first time I feel proud to be a part of an online community! And as someone else said, I love people who love people and making others happy is what makes me happy! And it is so nice and comforting to know that she had a comfy bed and a safe place to sleep for the next couple nights!

Most everyone on this thread deserves much more than a pat on the back and especially Christian! I feel truly honored to have had the opportunity to work with him! Speaking firsthand, he is more than an exceptional man with a heart of gold and I feel so honored to call him a good friend!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

All the best,
Britty Britt

I saw the locked thread yesterday and was like wtf?  Move it to casting?  Glad you got it going again.

What if Hillary Swank didn't take her $75 and go to Hollywood?

My first reaction was feeling sad I couldn't help, being snowed in myself.  Never could I imagine my 1st reaction being screw her, she'll live.  What kind of people can do that?

*pleads the fifth amendment*

Sounds like MM has made a difficult time a little easier for one of our peers and for this I am happy. 

Woooooopeeeeeeeeeee!

I do wonder one thing as mentioned earlier.  What if it was me or any photographer, a mua or anyone other than a pretty young girl?  What would the outreach, the feelings be like then? 

I feel confident in saying that the reactions (I hope....pray) would be the same-and if not all, I know some people's reactions would remain the same and in the end, if people are only going to help a pretty girl, there are others on here who would help anyone regardless of race, gender, physical attractiveness, etc. whose hearts are in the right place and would help whomever!

For me, exactly the same.  For those who didn't care... exactly the same.

Happy Holidays!

I have no stake in this other than trying to help a scared kid.

Scared? Jesus you make it sound like she's in gangland or stuck on Mt Hood- grab a newspaper, curl up on the floor somewhere and tough it out, plus its a great adventure to be around so many stuck people

Not really the time to be judgemental.

Then when should we be judgemental?  When she winds up on the side of a milk carton because of a stupid decision?

Come on people!  Whatever happened to common sense?

Im just curious why some people think the airline should reimburse her or cover her hotel costs, its not their fault the airport is shut down, more than likely it was a recommendation by the FAA to the airport itself, and had nothing to do with the airline.

because they can afford it and in some airline clauses they state that if any airport closes they will reimburse those that were supposed to leave a certain amount of money.

Who cares if the airlines can afford it, it's NOT their responsibility.  The model should have taken this into consideration! 

There are shitloads of people just camping out at the airport and it's not costing them a dime!  Why leave the airport?  You have a place to sleep, a place to shit, and a place to eat.  You have $10.00 to your name and you are at an airport, stay there! 

You were unprepared and you want a comfortable bed because you made a bad decision?  Yeah OK!  Take some responsibility for your actions and stop 'expecting' people to bail you out everytime you are in trouble.  If you get bailed out of every bad situation you get into, how are you going to learn to deal with life?

What does she need a hotel for?  A pillow?  A TV? 

Welcome to the real world...

Colonel Rock, YES SIR

People get scared for many different reasons! And I talked to her, she is scared shitless! Obviously you wouldn't be scared in that particular situation, but not everyone is like you! Please do not take any offense to my words above as it is simply the way I feel and your opinion is just as valid as mine, as they are nothing more than opinions.

Because Christian and so many others are so incredibly nice and willing to help out, she doesn't have to 'tough' it out! I think that's awesome! I think its great we made this unfortunate situation that much easier for her!

Having worked with airlines...they CAN't afford it.  Think of the math:
200 people/plane * 100 dollars each =20,000 PER NIGHT in basic hotel costs alone
how many flights cancelled by weather? a dozen per airline per day?
that's 300,000 dollars PLUS the lost payroll (people get paid whether the planes fly or not - except flight crews), equipment expense and other fees (rental to the airport, etc)

Now, having gotten vouchers myself from airlines (being in tv, nobody wants to piss me off) I undersand the sentiment and it's worth asking...but I personally only ask when the fault is with the airline.

Once more, thanks to all the members on MM.

So, I'm a little slow. You'll have to forgive me.

This thread is about an aspiring model that you invited to Miami. For whatever reasons, she left MIA with only $10. Then she got stuck in Denver on a weather delay. Then you asked for MM members for $$$ instead of giving your own cc number. Basically you are asking for MM to support your business expenses.

Have you looked up dick in wikipedia?

Just checking.

Again please don't take offense but before jumping to conclusions I can only suggest reading the whole thread before questioning the actions that Christian made! And to be quite honest, although it is an invitation, any true aspiring model (no matter how little money they have, wouldn't pass up the chance to work with Christian! And I think she was brave and courageous in doing so and Christian did all that he could on his own. Nobody had to help but the nice part is that people wanted to!

Merry christmas!

All the best,
Britt

Hmmm... so at no time in your life, especially when you were younger and almost always broke, did you get to the end of a trip with very little cash... yet you know you have a ticket to get home and family or friends waiting for you when you arrive back. Sometimes things happen, and we learn to dance with it. Or we get can angry or judgmental and berate ourselves or others over spilt milk. ;-)

Sorry but I have to agree, the fact that it was his shoot and he is the great photographer, I would assume that he could front a couple of hundred dollars.

He did not do all he could he basically passed her on to the site.

She is a beauty and I wish her all the luck in the future.

Whatever Jackass - you were never a kid trying your ass to something and took risks? You should be saying "I would love to help anyone who is willing to throw it out there and give it 100% and deal with the consequences later"
