Child Modelling AUGUST 2006

[mrratty]

Hello...

there is a request in the media bit asking for modelling mums with experience of being scammed to get in touch for article I was interviewed for if anyone is interested in sharing experiences here

princessmel, dont worry, please come, everyone is lovely, and i dont actually qualify as a modelling mum, my dd has never had a job!

yackerty, im still feeling fine, no sickness at all, im getting worried that i imagined the positive pregnancy tests, all 3 of them! i just cant wait to get that 1st scan out of the way, hopefully ill be able to relaz a bit then. how is your young lady? is ds being good with her? im a bit worried lani will be jealous, she will be just 2 when this 1 is born.

haven't been here in a while, now am trying to catch up.
to whoever said b&b doesn't accept kids with glasses - i'm trying to figure out why they would tell you that when it's not true, i know they do accept kids with glasses because my nephew is with them and he wears glasses.
to cyan - i would love to come to the meeting, where is it going to be?

the meet sounds great! last 2 weeks in sep would be fine for me 2!

julie - well done 2 your lo getting a yes from b and b!

mykids- did you have to ring someone to share your experiences for the article? if u did can i have the number as i would love to share mine.

< gets excited cos it seems lots of people can make the meetup >

ellesmum - not sure if you've already told the story to those here and I missed it, but do you mind me asking what happened? just nosy

ooh lanismum its growing am getting excited!!

i am thinking somewhere like Gambado in Chelsea, as it would be nice for the kids to play and we can all have a chat. Im just really wary of the outdoors because of the weather.

Anyone have any ideas???

yay!

sorry me and the links!!!

gambado

i dont mind where, that gambado seems as good a place as any, the kids will love it!

im sure ill be the one that has to swim through a bloody ball pool to retrieve their child though!

ill send an email to thumbs too.

is thumbs away?

what about i r? will u email her?

have mailed thumbs and tiger, will mail ir too, but im not sure if she will be here?

right, have mailed them all, 3 very rushed badly typed emails, but im sure they know what i meant

count me in for the meet up please my sis b'day is 19th, so she might do something on the 17th, but i'll wait and see .. first couple of weeks in sept dh is away on business again

thorntons, tesco shoot sounds great .. so different to stuff she's done before aswell .. and they used you too! Fab!
Maybe you met my sis at the tesco casting .. she did say there were lots of B&B kids there.

well done to everybody else's castings and hope you get it!!

yackerty, thanks for spotting that i think i have that ad .. does she have a tag which reads 'nylon - 657,000 britons'? She's wearing her own clothes too!

haha .. i'm here today .. have been unwell, but had chores to do .. so did them slowly.
I'm having tummy pains and was really sick last sat night .. still not feeling 100%

dylansluckymum- i was with an agency called little acorns for 18 months, paid (foolishly) £210 to join and have her picture on their website and never heard from them again, have spoken to other mums who have said they had the same thing with them, infact havent heard of any child getting castings or jobs from them!
have now joined kids london and within 2 weeks had a casting and job!!

gambado sounds good and chelsea only up the road from me so yay!!!!!!!

Thanks Cyan, Pimms and Lanis.
I can't really be sad about jobs as she hasn't had her shoot yet and I've only just sent off all the forms. It took ages to get everything together and photocopied etc. I don't know how to turn my printer/scanner into a copier so had to get it done in shops etc!
I've never heard of Gambado. Is it good? Ds and dd love sft play places. I don't think I've ever actually even been to Chelsea!
At the hosp the Dr said that ds has chronic allergic rhinitis and given me a new prescription. I hope it helps. We were waiting in hosp for an hour and 20 mins then receptionist said that they had forgotten about us. Got to go back in 3 months.
On the plus side she said that ds was the politest child they'd had in there for ages and that he was a credit to me! ( he asked her for a bin for his humzinger wrapper and asked her where the loo was !)

I think i know where Gambado is .. just off Wandsworth Bridge? actually i should check cyan's link to it! It sounds like a huge place of fun
I've been to blue kangeroon before, which is on Kings road, but it's a lot smaller.

ellesmum, i've heard of little acorn .. my friend's dd had been with them and only had one casting. She felt they were a con. She's with B&B now.

princessmel, i hope your ds is okay!!

Well done julie4travel!

Have you decided to not continue with CS then or did Carole agree to share, I cant remember the outcome of that bit!

Last I remember you had signed with CS then B+b came back to you after weeks offering DS an interview

Tavalana I too have a DD with glasses, my 7 year old,and was also told by B+B they didnt accept kids with glasses?

It was direct from Kipsey and a definate "NO" but that was last year so maybe things have changed? could you maybe ask your friend how long their DS has been with them as it may be a new policy.
Thanks!

mythumbs-
i think they just take on any child just to get your money, they are a con for sure!!

good for your friend shes now with a fab agency b and b!!

when my dd didnt get anything for 18months i didnt think she was right for the industry, im so glad i didnt give up as now shes with a good agency and doing well so far!

has anyone seen the tesco advert with all the kids in new school uniform? there's a little boy on their whos wearing glasses!
