ok mimi, most people say she looks like me, she hasnt got my colouring though as im mixed race and my boyfriend is english.
looking forward 2 seeing your pic!!!

thorntons · 01/08/2006 15:42

Hi everyone ! IMO Kids London and B and B get very similar work ! I know Thumbs agrees with me on this, for example our girls are the same age ,same colouring and have been put up for the same job on several occasions .
Thumbs I have just seen Seps issue of Junior. Really strange as only pics of dd and another girl and boy from B and B are used. While I was there they took lots of pics of another boy ,he was very cooperative and they didnt use his pics either. Also dds pic is taken from a wierd angle,you cant really see her face when dh showed her even she wasn`t convinced it was her. Overall though it was a really fun shoot, was a little technically challenging as kids were being photographed from under a glass panel .The team were lovely ,we even got scrummy cupcakes to take home!

mythumbelinas · 01/08/2006 15:48

i do agree with you thorntons .. and both our dds have had jobs w/o castings too .. which is what we like best

thorntons · 01/08/2006 15:55

Yes thumbs! agree jobs without castings are soooo much better

tavalana · 01/08/2006 16:04

to ellesmum my ds3 and ds2 are both with bruce and brown. ds3 has done a few jobs and lots of castings and it's been quiet for ds3 for the past few months but last year he did quite a few jobs, they first said they weren't interested in my ds1 but now they've changed their minds and I too signed him with kids london in the meantime. one of my good friends has two daughters with kids london both do very well and have plenty of work, one is two and the other one is four. not sure if that's helping but feel like we're in the same position.

tavalana · 01/08/2006 16:05

ellesmum all the jobs and most castings that my sons have been there were kids from kids london and urban angels.

ellesmum · 01/08/2006 16:12

i know tavalana it is very hard to choose. i phoned b and b and said i would come for an interview and take things from there, might aswell. have you asked kids if u can leave do u know their rules on this? i looked through their booklet that they sent me and it dosnt say anything about contracts or giving notice.

ellesmum · 01/08/2006 16:16

b and b said they would ring me for an interview date for next week so will stay with kids till then

mimi1uk · 01/08/2006 16:54

ah ellesmum, what a dilemma, i am glad i never heard back as then i did not have to worry about it, good luck and i hope u make the right decision, u know what will happen next u will get a casting with kids, to make it more difficult,, xx

ellesmum · 01/08/2006 17:11

strawberrymilkshake · 01/08/2006 17:33

Hi everyone

Could anyone tell me what they think of bubblegum modelling agency, is it really well rated.

ellesmum · 01/08/2006 18:11

strawberrymilkshake · 01/08/2006 18:44

ellesmum · 01/08/2006 18:51

dont really know, a mum whos dd is with them just told me they get alot of work for toddlers thats all she said really but she was very happy with them.

strawberrymilkshake · 01/08/2006 18:53

julie4travel> tanks for tip i drove took about 25mins it went well carole said she will put her in for commercias becouse of her look, but would like to get more out of her so we are going back in a couple of week wit and acting piece, so i was glad with that
she ask'd how i heard of her i said a lady called julie had said she was very good and professional (hope that was alright), then the phone rang when she got of she said tat was julie!! take care x

julie4travel · 01/08/2006 19:53

lindac- lucky i said nice things then, she is very nice. it was typical she rang with a casting on thurs for my ds and its my dds birthday. my ds then cried saying he doesn't want to go to my dds birthday party and would prefer to go for the casting. i rang her back and asked if there was any other time appointments. fingers crossed she will call me tommorow with an alternative! did you mention mn to her? i wonder if any of these agents come on the site. she knows i heard about her originally from here.

My internet been terrible today, been out and about most of day with kids which was lucky that i weren't working.

strawb you can speak to my friend if you wish to email about bubblegum yet her kids are a lot younger and as we know it could be totally different because of the agegroup

lindac · 01/08/2006 20:06

ju;ie4travel> i did say u told me on mn inernet site but se didnt react i got the impression she didnt know of it, my dd very pleased wit wat carole said about her

mimi1uk · 01/08/2006 20:14

we know ck and bk have been on mn before, not sure about others, julie thats so funny bless him wanting to go to the casting instead off the bday party how funny

julie4travel · 01/08/2006 20:19

lindic- good luck to her! well that was my ds second casting and he joined and had photos in June (end ) so she is doing her stuff, think she has good contacts in the industry

mimi- tell me about it! when cs rang it went to answerphone so he heard the message, i probably wouldn't even have mentioned it to him if he wasn't there and heard it. Shows his eager i suppose

julie4travel · 01/08/2006 20:20

lindic - yes BT business broadband been a right pain so trying to catch up with work now

julie4travel · 01/08/2006 20:25
