They offering me a modeling contract, and said they are one of the best modeling ompanies out their. Although I know that the best are like IMG, ford, elite, etc; But they say they are very reputable, and I found this site very helpful and everybody on here has been very helpful. If you can just give me some info about these people and some experieces you may have.

You should post more info about them. Post what you can...

Agency name
Address
City, State, ZIP
phone
website

I posted a blog at my myspace page about agencies. While the blog was mostly about bogus agents and managers, the parts about checking out any agency are pretty valid. Check it out at http://blog.myspace.com/ucphotog and see the blog listed as Bogus Modeling Agencies, Managers, Scouts and Group Owners.

Post that stuff and check out the blog. The more info you post with, the more info you're likely to get back.

looking at the website http://www.ecstacymodels.com/, i am going to vote, that it is definately not the same caliber as IMG, Ford, Elite, DNA, etc... also considering they are ONLY based in georgia, I highly doubt that they are one of the most reputable agencies out there. I don't know how legit or not legit they are, but it sounds to me like they are talking waaaay bigger than they should. I also gather from the website that they are a new agency. the fact that they don't have requirements for height and size is also a bit of a red flag.

I also question an agency that has this message on their "news" section:

We are currently searching for models for our 2007 calendar girl. ATL were Callin' All Girls. If you’re looking for a career change or just looking to try something new; come and join our team and let Ecstasy Models take you to the next level. If your interested in becoming a professional model, feel free to give us a call today.

most of the models are also under 5'7.

it seems to me an agency that does glamour and calendar work, probably within their own company.

Not that I know anything about an agency being legit or not.. just found this humerous...

"Events
Coming up in the summer of '06 we have BBQ's,
Fashion Shows, Club Events, Car Shows,
Big Parties, and lots more! Check back for
dates and times! Will be posting all of them by
the end of May!"

Well it's July and there's still nothing posted.  I also didn't know serious agencies posted about BBQ's and parties!  Wish I was a model.  sad

and they had to specify on the front page that they are a modeling agency not an escort service.... RED FLAG
