You've come a lot farther down the path to wisdom than many others.  Welcome.

Assuming she's also in San Francisco there are several good agencies in the area.  Which one is best for her, and how to get her into one, depend on her and her interests.  Without knowing a lot more about her I can't hazard a guess as to how you should proceed.

Does anyone have any ideas or experience hooking up a model with a legitamate agency??  Can anyone recommend any agencies that can get their clients good work?  Her interests: just about anything not nude.

It's refreshing that you have came to a logical conclusion regarding managers, in an industry where every successful model has a "manager" and/or agency, it is discouraging when the gwc's see them as a threat and refuse to deal with managers, have even given them names like "sluggo's". it's too bad that for many models, this their only frame of reference to learn about the modeling biz.

Thanks for giving managers their due respect.

haha...thats really kind of cute!  (GWC)....  I got someone suggesting the "only three agencies that matter" so I think we are all good.

No, you are only "good" if she happens to be the kind of model that they are looking for, and if you approach them in the right way.  But, as I said, good luck.
