*CHILD MODELLING OCT 08*

[MelodyDaisy]

Morning all
September's thread was very long so thought best to start a new thread as Brooke77 suggested too!

Am off to London again tomorrow for DS1 has a tv show casting, anyone have anything coming up?

Any of you had contract's through from UAN yet?

sorry, it's been ages since I posted and still abit new! Have signed with UA North.
I never dreamed the buy out figure could be so much!!! Would be grateful for a little job!

Hi everyone

Well posted off all the doc so guess its just a case of waiting for the phone to ring - hopefully! HFD - just think we might meet, you never know!

Am I right in thinking you dont get paid for going to castings?

You'll get paid castings for all the photographic work with AK, but not ALL tv/commercial castings.

Hope it's not long before you both get something

Hi Quad,job was through BK,switched the older ones to them and MOT,not had a thing from MOT,they said its really slow but BK been pretty good actually.Not to worried about it being quiet though as kids got so much going on with school,clubs etc its hard to fit it all in.
My baby dd has her birthday party this wkend,i hope your dd has fun at her mates one too

Hello everyone

Anyne know anything about Chilli Kids? Sent pics of 3 LO's and they rejected 2 little ones but want ds7 to go for test shoot - to assess presentation, behaviour and ability to follow direction - costs £110.00 then based on this they say yes or no.

What do you all think?

Also all 3 ds got accepted by Stand Out Model Management but they want £125 EACH and i am bit wary

racmac sorry haven't heard of either.

Totally, I find I have the same problem, I'm quite happy for them not to work from one month to the next as life as they get bigger is just so chaotic, is always nic e if they get a job and it all fits in but it doesn't always work out that way!!

Happy Birthday to your dd

Sequin1 - I do hope so that would be good! What does you lo look like - if similar we may well! Mine is 9 mths slim roundish face large deep brown eyes huge smile 2 bottom teeth.

Quad - totally agree - I object to the disparity.

Hi HFD, he is fair with massive (if I say so myself!) blue eyes and a big gummy smile! He is 7.5 months. Have they added your piccies that you sent in to your LO's profile, they havent dont mine yet, perhaps they are waiting for my cheque to arrive before they change it?!

ah well I need to do more photos! He wasn't looking at the camera in any of them so no! Hmmm odd that we were both told the Monday shoot unless they just wanted big eyed babies. You'll probably get the M & S shoots! That's all I want because I have decided that you see odd and very unusual looking babies in places but M & S always use beautiful mostly blue eyed babies!! If I get M & S then I will know I'm not biast when I say he is one of the most gorgeous babies on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think they are having probs with the site given the email that came out to everyone.

Can anyone give advice? My 7 year old has lost a lower front tooth. It is quite obvious. Do you think this will have an affect on his chances for jobs? I know having two top teeth looks really cute, but this looks a little odd!

hello!

Hello HFD!!
Is your LO sat in a chair in one of the pics?

Sequin1-Is your's wearing a blue stripey vest/romper suit?

sobusy-I dunno, but they know that all kids will have this happen to them and may sometime's like it Just make sure you let your agency know!

Melody How did you get to see it?? How can I see yours????

Yes - not got the final ones up yet

LOL!! You even more anxious now aren't you?!!

email me: [email protected]

Hi HFD! & thanks Melody daisy, will be positive! Nothing I can do anyway! LOL

A girl my dd did a photoshoot with only Tuesday had some sort of brace fixture on her front tooth, so it's not all doom and gloom

When DD was a baby i found sitting her in her highchair or a bumbo seat was the easiest way of getting a decent photo,they cant move to much and you can get a plain background,also they cant slump or crawl off.
Kids teeth grow back pretty quick and closed mouth smiles are fine,my eldest dd gets full train track braces in november,she is thrilled and agents say most companies dont mind,its only a prob in food ads where they have to eat as food gets stuck or toothpaste ads.

Totally- Never heard the phrase 'traintrack'! Is this your phrase? Or what they actually call it?!!

That's a goo tip you have given for anyone with younger LO!!

Melody - have only just registered - that'll be the problem!

UA site doesn't even open up till Nov 1st and then there's no guarantee work will come in anyway. So should stop worrying!

Am worried about 11 yr old's DD spot problem. Had her casting done with UA, got taken on and now her face has erupted like Krakatoa!!

Melody Daisy and HFD, tell me, tell me how can you see each others piccies

Hmm that smiley face looked a bit narked thats better!

nope! 'cos I can't!

Melody sent me links to her kids - they are lovely!

Oh shucks, worth a go! So did you say you have got to take some more photos for the website? That is what I had to do.... I am hoping that they get my paperwork on Monday.
