Studio backdrops like these should be burned.

I remember having backdrops like this for school photo day in Grade 4 I don't know why people still use them especially for "modeling portfolios". I don't even know what it's called but it's terribllllle.

Lots of fabulous models have big boobs OKAY?!! Deal with it.

Facebook.

I don't like it. I have it so I can share pictures and stay in contact with family and close friends. I do not wish to have 1,500 friends. I do not like the idea of strangers looking at pictures of me celebrating Christmas with my family in my pajamas. : |

If you look me up on facebook you will notice that I only have about 40 friends. You would think that would be a clear indication of the fact that I don't want to be friends with you if I haven't met you in person but apparently it isn't. I really don't like to offend people by not wanting to befriend them on facebook so this puts me in a quandary.

Arrrghhhhhhh.

Today in my quest for supplementary employment I stumbled across this ad on Craigslist. It made me laugh. Why can't he line up for his own shoes?

3. Import Modeling

I'm under the impression that only asian girls are allowed to do this type of modeling...I don't get it...maybe I'm wrong. 

RANT: Models/Photographers who are against testing

This is my sleepless/lonely at 2:30 am insomnia rant...

The other day I was chatting with a photographer about collaborating on a shoot and he quoted me his rates. I understand when photographers who are established charge reasonable test rates, but this person was not exactly Mario Testino, and the rates he quoted me were astronomical. It kind of annoyed me a lot. I'm not sure what kind of aspiring models have $500 to pay for a test shoot..maybe ones who are very spoiled by their parents but certainly not me. I mean that's like 6 months worth of groceries, and I explained to him that unless I plan on giving up eating in order to have the honor of working with him it was not happening.  

Lately in my bored internet browsing I've noticed that sooo many models and photographers are dead against shooting TFCD/P. I think this is absolutely ridiculous and I really don't get it. Personally, modeling is a passion for me and I love to be in front of a camera. I usually do 3-4 TF shoots per week on top of paid work/going to castings/auditions/sleeping. If you're truly passionate about something you should want do it as much as possible regardless of whether you're getting paid. Perhaps this is just the artist in me. Testing is a great opportunity to network/improve/have fun/get amazing new pictures and I would do it 8 hours a day 7 days a week if I could.  Also I think models and photographers are kind of equal in the fashion world... clients pay models and photographers we shouldn't be paying each other.
