Ever the shameless self-promoter, I’m being interviewed by KRON TV news (San Francisco, Channel 4) at my show on Valencia Street this afternoon. (The segment airs next month.) They’re doing a piece on eModel.com, now renamed Options Talent Group. They charge would-be models $500 apeice for a questionable service and are widely seen as running a less than honest operation (click “cached”). As I’ve written before, the owner of the company has been jailed *twice* for fraud, but despite plenty of enraged victims they still advertise on Monster.com with impunity. If you’re considering modeling as a career, go to reputable modeling agency (Elite, Ford, Look, Stars etc) and ask to come to one of their open calls. They won’t charge you - they can’t by law - and you’ll get an honest assessment on whether you have the look they want. Real agencies get their income as a commission of the work they send you out on, not up front fees.
On a lighter note, here’s Courtney.
