Child modelling October thread Part 2

[mrsratty]

We are getting to the 1000 limit so I thought I would start a new happy thread!

mysonsmummy - wow you must be really proud!! im not sure of any other job centers in brent. was the job from his agency?

everything on napm website has also been deleted re the british isle comp as well?!

elles, read abbymumsnets post, i think the posters have asked for their posts to be removed, nobody else has reported them, maybe they asked for the napm posts to be removed too, they prob dont want to go into it on here though.

mysonsmummy, that sounds great, bless him he will be so surprised to see his pictures in a window!

lanismum- oh yeah didnt see abbys post, its all very strange!

yep, i get confused quite easily on here nowadays!

hi just to say yes i requested for my posts to be deleted to avoid any problems etc. I noticed NAPMs thread has been deleted too yet i haven't posted on it since returning. I dont think i have said anything wrong yet thought better to be safe than sorry.

Thanx every one for your well done wishes. yes we will be on location we have to stop over in derby for 2 nights at the end of oct, and we are at twickenham film studios this saturday,
Housemum_ think il have to move if i go through that stress again lol , but thats the ything they hold all her details also but still wanted the 14 days notice, never mind we have it now, lady from the council sent me a realy nice email explaining her reasons .Hope everything is gog well for all your little ones

Well i missed a lot last night didn't I?? The UA thread on CM has been going on for ages and I must admit thought they were quite amusing.

lindac- not long now to wait- how exciting! bet your dd is looking forward to it

Morning all! Hope you and LOs are well. Littlemadam,great to hear that the John Richmond shoot went so well! I have recorded Mrs Beeton ,will look out for your LO! Lindac, really fab news re film part for you dd and that licence got sorted out .Well done and good luck Mrsratty , your dds pic for "Extra small" is fab!! Gingeme,welcome to the thread,and good luck re dds applications. Definitely agree with Lanismum re the 4 top London agencies. My 2 year old is with Bruce and Brown. Keep us posted! Have a look at
www.childmodelling.net/agencyprofiles.htm
re agencies profiles,how to apply etc. Good luckxx

Good morning,

Littlemadam - I saw your son last night, he looked very cute!

The thing on CM is so funny, Quad you've been TOLD not to post again!!!

Why would someone have 5 agebts for thier child? I can understand one for modelling and one for acting but 5 just for modelling seems really obsesive (says the women who spends most of the day on mumsnet!).

mrsratty - its too addictive isn't it! maybe i should ban myself from my computer although i wouldn't get much work done

forgot to ask i took a couple of not very good snapshots at the weekend and one had a red eye on it. do any of the photo websites do a remove red eye service? i have looked on tescos and cant do it on their from what i have seen. sorry for asking on this thread yet i remember a few of you mentioned different photo site before that you ordered cheap copies of photos from. thanks

Good morning and thanks for all your help lanismum and thorntons. I will have a proper look later as Ive got the dentists soon. Thats if I can get in the chair! Got 10 days till due date and feeling rather heavy today. Anyway thanks again. Will let you know how he gets on

I use snapfish to order online photos though I'm not sure about red eye reduction.

Hi, I am new to this, but joined as I am interested in talking to some of you mums about modelling. My daughter has been offered with a few agencies, models direct, bizzykids and mi mo so far. After reading this site I think models direct are out of the question, but bit stuck between the other 2. Is any one with either of these, can you give me any info? Mi Mo sound really good, they only ask for £35 web fee and offer a free photoshoot! Sounds a bit to good to be true, after reading some of the other agency sites. Thanks

Mi-mo are very new so don't have the client base of the established agencies. There are so many agencies and alot of comepition you are probably better off going with a known agency. Some people like bizzykidz and some people hate them. I would try the well known agencies such as Bruce and Brown, MOT, Urban Angels and Kids London.

hi lila101- there is a site called www.childmodelling.net where they have some agency profiles on their with opionions from parents. one of the mums has a thread on the mimo photos and i think quite positive on it - you will need to read through. have you applied to anyone else a highly rated one called Urban angels is just opening up its books as it has a couple of intakes a year so maybe worth a try or others like mot, kids london, bruce and brown etc. Good luck in your decisions.

mrsratty - will try that site now thanks

mysonsmummy - have emailed a mate at DWP head office to find out which jobcentres are in the same district as Brent. I should know this off the top of my head really, as in my other life I'm one of the Performance Managers for Jobcentre Plus London Region, but I've been on Maternity for a year now, so the mind's a bit foggy. Will let you know soon as she gets back to me.

Julie: check Here for a list of online printing sites and a comparison of what they offer (some do red-eye reduction). HTH.

Thank you ladies. I have applied to Bruce & Brown and MOT but refused by both wrong area and to many girls her age. I acnt believe I was nearly drawn in by Models Direct, my husband sussed them but I was willing to pay. So glad I found this site. You just don't know whos conning and whos not. I have looked at the other threads and seems to be a few good comments about Mi Mo, might try them first just to get into it.

Doh, ignore that, just noticed they're all US sites. Will have another look!

Ok, here we go, Truprint offer red-eye reduction tool.
