Child Modelling November Thread (2)

[mrsratty]

Hello........

Raga - have replied to your email.

DLM - where do you live again? Cant you go on tube to Clapham?

Lolly, have just read your post - Wow!! Does your son like his pics now he's older, you must have been very proud!! Was it a different game in the modelling world then? I'd love to see them, do you have any pics we could have a peek at?? How goes it with KL, are the forms filled in etc!

i missed it too .. wow lolly, that's quite a gap! Interesting to see how things have changed .. or not. You're about my age!!

LM - he gets a bit embarrassed but at the moment he is glad that he has had more work than Lydia has! He loves his sister though. I will deffo try and find the M&B cover. I have his Kiddicraft one in a frame so will post that next week if I can. It was entirely different back them - only 4 agencies really at that time. ES, TS, SW and NC - that's why I went with ES again cos Ben was with them. I will mail you a pic of my son as he is now though!

Have sent forms off to KL but have heard nothing yet.

lolly we live a good 15-20 min walk from either camden or kings x so we need to take a bus to get anywhere really. also it's clapham junction so it's a train rather than tube. still, i'll look into it there's got to be a way that's not too difficult. so is your son not interested in modelling anymore?

DLM - if its Clapham Junction then you need to get to Victoria. You could get Victoria line from Kings X and then overground from there. Can you not get a cab to Kings X?

No he is not - he likes his Playstation and Gangsta rap (dont know why!!) too much - modelling is too uncool for him!

DLM - or Waterloo goes to CJ.

Arrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh, Dylan and abigail have a commercial shoot next weds and we are having lisence probs, does anyone else find this licence business a right PITA??
Please all keep fingers crossed that we can get all the letters we need by Monday, dr's and school being a problem, mainly with school saying they can't sign and get back a holiday form to me by monday, could cry !!

quad, ohhh .. hope it all works out, fingers crossed for you, ds and dd!!!

lolly i guess at 15 you're too cool for almost everything. yes i'll prob end up taking cab for the first and last bits both ways. i prefer the bus because there's no stairs and i really dislike taking ds on the tube i find it claustrophobic!

quad sounds like a nightmare really hope it gets sorted!!!

why are you getting a holiday form, you just need a letter from them to say you can have a day off. If you right a letter saying that your child has a job for whichever production company and are seek a licence and need the heads signature to say she knows your child will be off on the required date.

dlm- are you in camden? chalk farm station takes you to waterloo ...im sure thats prob the best if your in camden

Quad >> when we were really struggling to get the school letter the concil emailed the school and just asked the school to email back an ok, i dont know if we were just lucky that time. Now i just take in a letter with all the details of shoot etc and ask them to sign. I dont know if this will help you, I will keep my fingers crossed for you .

Forgot to say dd didnt get the Asda commercial nevermind.

lolly- my ds is 17 he was with ts when he was much much younger and hates it if i get his pic's out ..so i do if im looking for revenge on anything lol but he wouldnt dream of doing it now would def ruin his street cred...what are they like !

DLM - I know what you mean about the tube. When Lydia had her M&B casting we had to go all the way to Mornington Crescent - it was awful but lucky it was not in rush hour. What time have you got to be there?

lindac - its nice to know that i'm not the only one with a DS that gets embarrassed!

Quad - hope it gets sorted.

LM - DS is there at 1:30 They originally said 11:30. Did they ask you to bring a selection of shoes? Selection of shoes? They must be mad! Poor DS only has his school shoes and a pair of trainers. What are you doing after the shoot?

Quad - hope the license comes through in time!

Lanis - Sorry but, LOL!

Dylans - Great news about all of the recent work!

Strawberry - Shame about ASDA.

With any luck it won't be chucking it down with rain tomorrow.

hi guys - having trouble with connecting onto the internet today, so frustrating!
lolly - have replied to your email, would love to see your ds old pics!

DLM- congrats on ds getting the pp mag shoot, fingers and toes crossed he gets front cover, he really is so gorgeous im sure he will!

quad- hope u get licences sorted in time, what advert is it for?

good luck for anyone else with jobs and castings i havent mentioned!

dds mackays shoot date has now changed from mon to the 28th nov and its at nice studio.

OK so this is not modelling related, but saw the posts re cakes earlier - think it was Mythumbs who said she'd like to make a cake one day - here is my idiot-proof recipe (so long as you have an electric mixer else it's a good way of building arm muscles!)

6oz self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
6 oz caster sugar
6 oz soft marg (the stuff in tubs, pref at room temp)
3 eggs

Grease a couple of sandwich cake tins (use a bit of soft butter/marg on kitchen roll) and put in about a tsp of flour and shake it around to cover the butter - that's the tricky bit done. You can buy cake tin liners in Lakeland Ltd which is pricey but easy!

Bung all ingredients in a bowl, mix with electric mixer for about 2 mins - put into your cake tins, bake at 180 degrees C for 25 mins.

Leave them to cool for a few minutes, run a knife round the edge and tip them onto a rack to cool properly.

That's it - fill with jam, or jam and cream, and everyone thinks you're some kind of domestic godess!!

ellesmum..had a email ds didnt get confirmed for mackay.

thanks guys, kids have friends for tea so things abit chaotic at the moment!!
strawbs i found the holiday form the easiest way of doing it in that it just requires a signature from the head, like your idea of the council emailing though thanks for your help xx
What i find most frustrating is that the head is so okay with it all that I'm sure if she would have been around she'd have signed it there and then. Advert is for dreamscope, a bed company, casting was only on wednesday for a job this wednesday, so i imagine most kids would struggle to get a licence in that time! GP have said they will see Dylan on monday am, so that should all be okay, jeez this is stressful though!!

Off home now - spk on Monday!! Have great weekend. x

Have just been catching up on all your news, wow dylansluckymum, he is soooo busy!!
Ellesmum is nice studios in de beavoiur road?? think thats where dd's first ever job was!!
Lanismum, Lani sounds so funny, bet it doesn't seem that way to you though!!
Mrsratty, can i have some cake please, or anyone else thats making one!!

Btw test shoot sounds fab have done some of these in the past and always found them to be fun, enjoyxx Have a nice weekend lolly x
