There is (or was) a model here on MM who has just posted a portfolio on OMP - with the same text: "please contact my agent ----- at ----------- if you would like to work with me".

What then, is the point of having an online portfolio either here or OMP or anywhere other than on her agency website?  Is she hoping to get more work that way?  Isn't that what her agency is supposed to do?

MORE INFO:  This same model reneged on a prior agreement to test that we had had before she got signed.  Also - she treated the photographer (also on MM) who helped get her signed at her current agency as if she didn't know her upon running into her subsequently.  You might look up the "ingrate" thread from some months back.

If you'd like to know who the above "weasel" model is - write me here at MM.

You do meet some morally, ethically, socially clueless people in the fashion industry!

Jay, it sounds like you have been around a while.  I hope this isn't a recent revelation to you. smile

Nor does that revelation have anything to do with the fashion industry.

You've been human for how long?
