Has any model actually gotten a gig from MM and how much did it pay.  Non-fetish related though.

Just wanting to know if I'm charging my client the right amount.

The key is knowing what the image is being used for.  Payment in this industry whether for photographer or model is based on usage.  If it's a billboard you should be paid more than if it's a tiny B/W ad in a local newspaper.  I ran a modeling agency for years, I can give you an idea of what an agency would charge if you tell me time involved and usage (if you know).

In my experience, parts models usually get an hourly rate consistent with the agency day rates in their area, sometimes more, but usually do not get bonuses for usage or residuals.  There have been exceptions that I have seen.

That means, depending on the area, a rate of $150-$250 per hour is about right for the typical client shoot.
