What I'd wish for.....
Thanksgiving is coming, and lots of us like to follow the tradition of pulling the wishbone with a friend or loved one, with the winner getting to make a wish. Well, since the likelihood of getting that wish is right up there with the likelihood of me winning the next Powerball lottery. I might as well plan on a really way out wish--just in case.  Ok, "I wish internet models would be polite & professional enough to call and cancel instead of being a no show." "I wish internet models would have the decency to reply after the fact when the photographer sends a polite inquiry as to why they did not show." (If it's a valid reason, I'd reschedule or consider using them again) "I wish models who do not want to shoot with a photographer would just say so and would not reply with "I'm very interested, yadda yadda yadda," up until a day or so before the planned shoot, then suddenly disappear off the face of the earth." (alien abduction?) Does anyone know where that dead hores is?  Just in case you are wondering - Booked 7 models, two show. (wonderful experience with Jessalyn & Erin, btw.) The other five were no-show, no call the day of the shoot. Two of them are repeat no-shows and have joined a growing list of "never contact again" models. *****sigh***** Oct 17 06 06:50 pm Link my wish is that you will someday have your huge shoot at the B&B and have every model and MUA show up that says they will as unrealistic as that is, I'll instead say I wish every shoot was as fun as ours! Oct 17 06 06:56 pm Link Same here, Booked a few models, and pretty much half cancelled, or no show. I know that its for TFCD but, the no shows are just too much. Where do i black list them??

Oct 17 06 06:59 pm Link Harley Chow wrote: Just make a note to yourself to never try to contact those models again. If you get another photographer asking for a reference, just be honest about your experiences with that model. Oct 17 06 07:00 pm Link Jim Ball wrote: Exactly. I worked with one of Jim's no-shows the week before and had a great shoot with her. There's no telling why she didn't show, so blacklisting someone because of a single event is premature.

Oct 17 06 07:08 pm Link I'd wish to be taller and prettier. And get that one shoot that pays a ton, so I don't have to worry about finances and can just do fun shoots afterwards. And perhaps win the Powerball also.

Oct 17 06 07:39 pm Link Icecold Images wrote: *jessalyn goes and buys another swimsuit to add to her 1,239 she already has* Oct 17 06 08:55 pm Link I wish: a) people would quit whining about everyone else b) photographers would quit trying to shoot alt/goth/fetish models using the same techniques they use on catalog/editorial/fashion models ... (this is a pet peeve) c) for my classes to hurry up and get finished so I can graduate and get a real job and have more time and money to travel and model. or something. Nemi Oct 17 06 11:49 pm Link i wish we could just skip over thanksgiving since it sucks hardcore and i hate it officially now Oct 17 06 11:52 pm Link Ãber Dami wrote: what do you hate about it?? Oct 18 06 08:39 am Link I wish Hugh Hefner would hire me and I can leave my current job. I also wish that Liz Ashley, Betcee May, Jocelyn, Carly, Tyler, Giselle, and so many other models make there way to Hawaii and work with me. Oct 18 06 08:44 am Link I wish for the Portugal, Brasilian, and Italian Soccer team to be my love slaves forever and a side order of Wolverine and Batman (Christain Bale) to go... if not all that then I'll take one team heehehehe and they must wear tube socks and wash dishes... dream big I say Oct 18 06 08:47 am Link I wish the damn wee people would quit wakin' me up in the middle of the night by poking toothpicks under my toenails.

I have a few friends who do not speak with their families so I invite them to spend Thanksgiving with me and my family and that never ceases to touch my friends hearts. Oct 18 06 11:41 am Link 1. I'd wish that my daddy's health would get better. 2. I'd wish that I'd no longer have to worry about fiances. 3. I'd wish that I could be happy forever.
