Childmodelling - July 07

[mummyeme]

Morning everyone!
Here's the new threadx

mum2twoboyz, can I ask why youre leaving ak, as I used to be with them, and I wasnt happy there at all.
Totally, theres a message for you if you scroll back a little

dancerd,why were you not happy with ak?
Not heard about the book shoot from kl,so dont know if she doing it.

firemum,bubblegum used to be very gd, not sure what they like now but i do know there joining fee is fairly low

hi.totally.. ive posted on msn

dancerdeb
well, they 'seem' ok, but im tired of all the emails doing the threatening to take kids off the books for not updating pics etc, and i keep sending in pics, but they never change his profile!!!!!!!!! also - we r down for jobs only, so they r very few like that (even tho ds got one with dk lol) and we r quite away from london, so am wondering if a better choice wud be round here...........
tbh im so demoralised bout it all, and wondering if its worth the agro of tryin to get pics to update agencies, when hes gettin nothing, and when anything decent is in london... y didnt u like them??

totallyfloaty, I heard from a friend of mine with KL that they had sent out letters, and she said her sister in law, new too (like us) didnt get one until she asked for one, so I followed suit and asked,I then got a letter and made my booking, why dont you do the same?
As regards AK, much the same reason as mumu2two, constant emails in general, about removal of children and also very erratic behaviour,(sunny one day, thunder another) so I decided it didnt suit us anymore!

how much is it dancerdeb?

170.00 if they dont like the photos (not up to their standards) you get a refund, and they dont go into the book

think i will give it a miss

totallyfloaty, maybe on the other hand it could be an investment, as the best jobs go to the kids in the model book, am told by a good source!

....but the model book is no longer an actual book it is 'online' so I would assume that all the kids are online and therefore have as much chance as the next at getting work!

3littlepigs, why then, the online book so to spk, there has to be some advantage taking part in it? I was told by a mum who has had a lot of work, that since her ds went in it a year ago he has had a lot more work, whereas to the 6mths previous a lot less. It has to have some advantages for the kids in it, because if not, its just throwing a lot of money away when you can be represented by updating your own pics as Ive done to date. Dont get me wrong, Im only asking for my own piece of mind?

Hi,
Dancerdeb, go for it I'm sure it'll be great. You have nothing to loose and your ds has probably earnt more than enough to cover it from his jobs already and the model book could bring even more I expect!!! Either way you'll have some more great pictures of him, a great day out and most likely even more great opportunities!xx

totally - my ds jobs earlier in the year were picked via his photos, i presume from model book pictures as he didnt go for castings for those he was purely picked from photo. we are def doing the model book again this year

Mummyeme and totally did you receive my cat messages, hope so xx

can someone please link to a drs letter require for child modelling as i cant find it on my computer and need it by tommorow thanks

sh11 there is one on alphabet kidz website.

Hi,
Dancerdeb, haven't got your message but this is all quite new to me is there a particular section I need to look at in my profile or wotnot. sorry for being dippyxx

Mummyeme, Im dippy, so dont worry!

Long time since you last posted, glad you're back

Yey Dancerdeb, I have emailed and they said they'll get back to me if it doesn't come in an hour, so fingers crossed. Been busy sorting out pre-school then big (well primary) school it's come too quick aaaggghhh!

Hi Dancerdeb,
Please could you cat me again, they checked the system last night and nothing came through for me. Thanks very muchxxx
Hope everyones well we've got the dreaded cold bug at the momentx

Mummyeme have sent you a message again? please let me know if you have received it,if not I will ask mumsnet.

Hi Dancerdeb,
Hope you're well. I still haven't got your message I'm afraid, I'll contact mumsnet too and hopefully it should workx

Hi Dancerdeb, seems I've been really dippy. Didn't realise I needed to change the cat setting, so now I have and hopefully if you send me the message I should get it now. So sorry, can I blame it on the cold??? Look forward to hearing from youx

Mummyeme, will get back to you tonight and reemail you again, going on a casting with ds after school its for ceebeebies, fingers crossed
