Thanks ellesmum, right so two models set up this agency, does anyone know anything about them, have they googled them, do they really exist?

This is all very strange, i just hope its a break down in communication but it seems very odd

www.ebooker.com.br

I know Izzy went on holiday to Brazil. Surely a bit OTT to put her child with a brazilian agency!!!!

Quad - isabel says she is with finekids and going to jobs and castings here in london but her kids are on a brazillian model site
www.ebooker.com.br - it sin spanish so look under infantile then press buscar or put her kids names in the search.........

xmasmomma, what is wrong with izzys kids being on the e site, many people are with more then 1 agency, are fine kids sole rep??

anyhow, they shouldn't be until they are established, keeping people with them and then not even having streams of work lined up for them.

sha11 · 15/12/2006 18:51

also if she travels a lot to brazil, why not??

ellesmum · 15/12/2006 18:51

think that is because isabel is moving to brazil soon.

mrsratty have emailed you back.

its making me feel really worried all this about fine kids, and then kids london saying that toy catalouge job was dodgy! whats going on!!

QuadropheniaonIce · 15/12/2006 18:51

aren't fine kids from Brazil, oh dear this is all very very wierd, xmasmomma how the hell did you find that if you don't mind me asking?

Quite a few mums have met her and she is based here. It is really odd though.

sha11 - yes they are you are right but not with agencies that are on the other side of the world - wierd

sha11 · 15/12/2006 18:53

oh it might be her agency??

xmasmomma · 15/12/2006 18:56

when i was googling fine-kids model agenc and the brazillian one came up plus others includding ebooker.com.br so had a nose and see her daughter on the front page !!

ellesmum · 15/12/2006 18:56

i think all the jobs that people got through fine kids have been for clients abroard, only izzy and one other person have got work through them.

I couldn't find fine kids in brazil, does the link you found work?

OP posts:
QuadropheniaonIce · 15/12/2006 19:02

if there is something suspect going on and FK have done some kind of diappearing act, if my kids were with them I would ring the police.

ellesmum · 15/12/2006 19:07

ive just googled fine kids and nothing comes up anymore apart from fin kids in brazil!

quad - i agree i would call the police, when your kids are concerned u cant take the risk.

i for one are very suspicious about all this finekids stuff - one modelling mum saw isabels photo on starnow under success stories saying shewas a model and had done jobs for essentials mag etc but her name was Lauren W.

Lauren White, model, owns finekids hmmmmmmmm

ellesmum · 15/12/2006 19:10

mrsratty - ill get the link

its a really weird site aswell!

mummy2milly · 15/12/2006 19:11

Hi all,
OH DEAR....
Ladies, Myself and my husband have been monitoring FINE KIDS for a while now, and this confirms my suspicions....

I hadnt heard of them until very recently and it was only when I started looking into them in details (which I have been doing with all the agencies I want Milly to go with) that I became very concerned....

ellesmum · 15/12/2006 19:12

mrsatty - here it is www.finekids.com.br/agencia.htm

xsmasmomma - omg cant believe that! when was that on starnow?

QuadropheniaonIce · 15/12/2006 19:14

thats a bit he said/she said though isn't it, i would be sceptical about what people are saying now.

ellesmum · 15/12/2006 19:15

isabel has rang fine kids and they said they would call her back but havent! she is also very very worried.

Tinkerbel5 · 15/12/2006 19:17

oh my goodness

I was suspicious a few weeks back when no child was being turned down, I know agencies need to build up their model base, but it seemed they were accepting everyone.

mummy2milly · 15/12/2006 19:21

First of all, their telephone number, whcih I think somebody has already clocked on to, is a VOIP number, meaning it is not a land line it is a line with comes over the internet, so can be used from any country....WEIRD.

Second of all, since calling them for the past 3 weeks, and leaving well over 6 messages, I have never ever had a response at all....BAD.

Thirdly, I emailed them and they responded at 3:46am!!!!! They didnt respond properly to my queries, tried prancing around what I was actually asking, and didnt know what to say for half my questions.... ODD

Fourthly, I live roughly 20 mins from the address they gave me and visitied it, in the hope they could fit me and milly in for an appointment, and a man opened the door and told me he had never heard of Fine Kids....however, he did tell me he was very concerned as he had had a lot of post addressed to this company coming to him over the past few weeks, and they contained lots of photographs of children....TERRIBLE.

Fifthly...and most importantly.... My husband works for an internet company, and both myself and he have really looked into this, as we were so concerned and discovered that Fine Kids reckon they have been going (on their site) for 2 years, yet the domain names were only purchased around 2 months ago...SUSPICIOUS...

Sorry to go on girls, but I really need to get this off my chest.... I have been doing lots of research and am SO SO SO worried about people who are with them, looking to join them or who are willing to trust them.... We have to be so careful who we are sending photos of our little ones to....

Why has this been taking off child.modelling when everybody is so concered and people need to know????
