"When your friend whos also a model stood you up"
So my friend Jessica (yes I'm saying names) stood me up and my photographer at a photo shoot.... It pissed me off... I never was late nor have ever canceled a photo shoot. So I call her in the morning asking her if sheâs still up for it she says "yeah". I go to the photographerâs studio I call him when I'm close and ask him if he called Jessica or if sheâs there? He replies she didnât pick her phone up and sheâs not there. So I get to the studio. I call her again and again and again. Finally she picks up. I ask her if sheâs coming down..... "I donât feel like it".... she actually had the nerve to say she didnât feel like having one. She was shopping and thatâs why she couldnât pick her phone up. I apologized to the photographer about my friendâs stupidity. He rescheduled. Than me and her got are photo shoot done a couple weeks after. We confronted her(me and the photographer) she said it happened once and won't happen again. A couple days back she did a promo with me for the film festival in downtown Cleveland we were on the "The Midnight Movie show". The person doing the promo asked her to try some clothes on she did but came out the dressing room with the same clothes she had on and said "they donât fit right"... shouldnât she at least let us judge her. Shes supposed to also be trying out for Fashion Week in Cleveland. I know sheâs going to whine. It wouldn't really bug me so much, but sheâs my friend and is somewhat a representation of me because I helped her.....NEVER AGAIN WILL I DO THAT. Sheâs the girl with black hair that almost looks like my sister in my pictures if you really want to know who she is. The funny thing is people still want to work with her even when sheâs whining and complaining..... I go in professional and dont get recognized she goes in yelling about her water being to warm and she gets the cards and glory.....WHATS THAT ALL ABOUT?????? Can someone help me out...and clear the smoke from the room....and feel free to share a event thatâs been bugging you... Oct 14 06 12:07 pm Link It sucks but what sucks even more is that it's A LOT of work to even read what you've written. You can't compose a scentence correctly nor can you spell correctly. How you function in society is a mystery to me. Oct 14 06 12:13 pm Link Chris55 wrote: LOL.... did you re-read your sentence that you just wrote..... Oct 14 06 12:15 pm Link Chris55 wrote: ditto. thanks.... Oct 14 06 12:16 pm Link Spelling and grammar aside. Ditch her as a model and collaborator and don't tell people she is your friend. Oct 14 06 12:20 pm Link your friend sucks. but, that isn't something that really needs to be shared with everyone here. i think you are going to find out that posts outing people turn into pretty unpleasant reading. Oct 14 06 12:22 pm Link You are not responsible for other models. You are only responsible for yourself. Don't let others drag you down in your persuit of your dreams and goals. Oct 14 06 12:23 pm Link we had a similar situation witha girl who works at the same studio with one of my photogarphers agreed to do a glamour shot with us and never and wouldn't answer her phone when called the day she said she would meet us. hey if they don't want for free what other people will pay for fukem right?

Oct 14 06 12:27 pm Link Homie- Give her a ham sandwich and a road map. For what it's worth, Vinny, choose your friends carefully. As you get older, you'll hopefully learn to tolerate less and less those that cannot be relied upon. Surround yourself with people you can count on and be sure to return the favor. Ask yourself "Could I call this person at 2:00am if I ran out of gas and it's raining out? Would they help me?" Find those people and be good to them.

With attitudes like theirs, it's a mystery to me how they function in society.

Oct 14 06 12:53 pm Link FaceReality wrote: Nicely said.... I actually didn't know she would do something like that. Its not so much a poor decision on my half because the photographer likes her look. Its more on him for working with her even now, after she has done what she has done. I know it's reality but I thought I knew her better than that.

Oct 14 06 01:50 pm Link I think your friend has a mildly exotic look that will keep interest ignited in working with her - no matter what crap she does. It plays into you because of your association with her - ultimately it could hold you back. Oct 14 06 02:04 pm Link Slowburn Images wrote: Damn.... Oct 14 06 02:47 pm Link She isn't your friend, she is an aquaintence Oct 14 06 02:52 pm Link Cecil Sharps wrote: know shes a "person I just talk to" if any..... Oct 15 06 10:25 am Link I think your friends gets work because she is a female in Ohio, just not that many out there. If she lived where I live she would probably not work that often, Star Oct 15 06 10:35 am Link I think Jess should take up a drug habit. It would then be much easier to explain her erratic behavior. FLAKE! {please don't jump me about suggesting anyone take up a drug habbit, it's in jest.:-)} .. another comment.. there is a noticeable difference between you and her in those three shots. You, are actually working, posing and creating a shot. She, in all three looks the same and really is just standing there. From what I can tell, she is thinking about where she might have left her cell phone adapter, and not at all about the shot. ..OK one more... I got FLAKED this morning only 5 hours before the shoot "I've been sick for three days now". Oct 15 06 10:38 am Link Maybe she's just not into the modeling-thing as much as you are. I don't condone her actions but it happens. Its probably best you sever professional relations w/ her & leave it at that.

Oct 15 06 11:43 am Link Vincent Vega wrote: Professional is not flaming someone out like this on the forums...does she know you're doing this? Perhaps someone should tell her so that she's aware and has at least a chance to reply. Oct 15 06 11:48 am Link Daniela V wrote: She knows..... she dosnt really care thats the problem....and she dosnt have a MM account but she will eventually........... again this was just a thread to vent. I told her boyfriend whos really into her modeling......its like it dosnt effect her. But she knows I made this dont worry. Oct 15 06 11:50 am Link vincent, you have a lot of talent. my advice is: 1 - pick your friends carefully. i have learned that the hard way over the (44) years. 2 - move forward, don't look back. best wishes, gary Oct 15 06 11:56 am Link wishingtreephotography wrote: Thanks....
