Child Modelling November Thread

[julie4travel]

Thought I would start a new thread for November

twoboysmum forgot to say welcome to the thread - sorry for me being rude, cant believe i didnt say that

Mrsratty is your child doing a test shoot through KL in Parson's Green? We have been offered thsi and really don't understand what it is about...

Colinfirth - yes she is. It's for the photogaphers portfolio, we get expenses and some of the pictures. I'm happy that I will be getting the pictures. Is your child doing it, how old are they?

I don't know if he will do it - he is 6 but wasn't very keen when we tried a casting so will ask and see how he feels about it. I've posted before as slyandgobbo re my son who blows a bit hot and cold about the whole business so am not pushing it!

Mt DD enjoys it and really liked the photographer when she worked with im a couple of weeks ago, if it's the stylist she had yesterday she also really likes her. Has he just had one casting, or has he had work too?

He had a casting, wanted to go, hated it, had to be persuaded to put the shirt on etc etc... So I have basically not taken any further castings which were put forward but a few months have now passed and was going to run it by him (or just abandon the whole thing - it may be that he thought he wanted to do it but really doesn't - he si quite keen to earn money to buy more Lego!)

I had to bribe DD when she first started by promising her a mcdonalds. Noww she sees the photoshoot as a treat but it really helped at the begining. It's good this one is on a Saturday as DP can come too if he feels like it.

mysonsmummy, there are parking bays on the same road as spring studios (opposite the garages) cost about £3.20 for max 2 hr stay. If you're driving on the main road, turn into the road with McDonalds on the corner, it bears left, then turn right.
I've driven and taken tube before. Tube is nearby too .. i think the station is only a little further away. When i've passed the 2 hr limit, i've just popped out and reparked in another bay. hth!

DLM, your ds is so popular and seems he's ideal for all this lots of luck!!

LM, i picked up some copies of disney catalogue today. Going to have a flick thru now.

mummyaj, your dd looks so lively and adorable!!

mysonsmummy, forgot to say good luck for woolies job tomorrow.

Well done ellesmum on MacKays job! She and Dylan are superstars at the moment.

Oh, almost forgot! Today on the radio i heard an agency called John Robert Powers is recruiting at the mo. It said it is an acting school and have got things for the OC, desperate housewives, etc. Think it is american.
Anyway, they only have 200 places (ages 4-17) and auditions are this Sat 18th. Tel no 02076372236
I don't know how genuine this agency is .. never heard of them, so please do reearch if you're interested.

ellesmum - elles a little superstar, well done for getting the job!!!

ellesmum if you need it picking up drop me an email nearer the time

Way-hey, we're off and running again! DD has her first casting since Feb - on Monday for Marie Chantal clothing (just had a look at the website - v nice but at $122 for a top it's definitely out of my league!! DD has v similar stuff from Zara though so will take her in that as she likes it and looks good in that style).

Anyone else going?

julie - thanks will let u know

housemum - good luck sounds very posh!

mrsratty - good luck with your dds job! she is also very popular at the mo!

Housemum - fingers crossed for your daughter, sounds like a good one!!

Well done Ellesmum and DLM!! Great jobs, I'll spot for you Ellesmum with Mackays, will e mail you later! How was the Pic in M and S?

Mrsratty, its the same one - we are there at 11.30. how about you?? I thought it was Ian Derry....maybe I misheard!! I wasn't told to take any clothes - so I guess they're providing?

Ragamuffin - well done to your DD!

Good luck to anyone else waiting on jobs/castings!

mythums -i posted on her b4 re john robert powers ...they hold auditions in a big rented house near tottenham court road, in central london then they ring you and say GREAT NEWS YOU GOT through but you need to go on an acting course (with them) and they charge a good few grand, they say they do disney films and all the big american programmes etc , but i think they are just after the money, my friend and i went along went year, then they rang us both they said our dd's need'd a level 2 course at (if i remeber right) £2950 , so if anybody does go please bear this in mind,she got it of the radio as they was advertising Tracy Beaker auditions
phew just thought id get that in

We are there at 11 so I'm sure we will meet unless they do a quick in and out! Are you bringing your little one too? You're right it is Ian Derry , I knew Drury and Dury weren't right!!
