There is no such thing as a 'legit model scout' on MM.

There are more guys that will claim to 'get you into Playboy' than there are pigeon droppings in New York. (The difference is pigeon droppings don't stink as bad)

I agree that with that requirement that no one will shoot with her.  Especially not the guys who really do have Playboy contacts.  But that last comment really was unnecessary.

There is not substitute for getting out there and doing your own research and own leg work.  I doubt posting multiple threads here asking for someone else to help you be discovered will do any good.  But who knows.

If you really want to pose for Playboy, instead of coming here, you should be reading the links from this page;

http://www.playboy.com/pose/index.html

You'll see that it's Playboy's 'Pose for us' FAQ. Probably your best place to start. If you want to work for someone, go to the source.

Heh, well in this case, my research took under 2 min and that was only 'cause I couldn't find the saved link I had for a friend who as asking about it.

Jenna,

Good luck with your goals.

One quick note, though - on MM, posting the same thread more than once and/or to several forums is considered spam and the moderators will lock all but one of them (and sometimes will lock all of them).

Welcome to the mayhem

You should really, really read and understand the rules before posting in the forums again.

It was spam, it was a moderator who said it and locked it.

I was trying to help you (which is a nice thing to do that I don't normally do) by telling you that you can't post the same thing in different forums.

You're welcome.

That may be true as far as "model scout(s)" go. I've never heard of such a position within a publication. But there are legitimate publications that lurk here on Model Mayhem looking for new amateur talent to cast. You just won't find them participating in most discussions and using private messages instead.

It's really great to be ambitious, but you can't get too ahead of yourself.

I'd love to work for Vogue or any other notable fashion/men's magazine, but I obviously need more experience and still have a whole LOT to learn. 

You are off to a great start in your port, but don't expect paid work just yet.  Diversify your port, THEN talk about compensation. smile

This is not what this thread is about.

She wants to know how to get into Playboy.

She did not ask you or anyone else to critique her desire for paid work.

Care to open your portfolio to critique? No? Then stop it.
