I also looked at the pics the agency had posted on their website...on a LARK I looked to see if the gal had a MySpace page and am I glad I did THAT! The pics on the agency site were either WAY PhotoChopped or were really old! Now, before I book anyone, I check out MySpace...just a little helpful hint from me to you!

Hehe ... sounds not too unusual for agencies
It's often very hard to judge on a modelcard.
Depending on what type of shoot and what is required (ie.. you want some all teeth and hair that looks alive) - only way I can tell is with six shots from an audition. If six out of six are good - you got top content - and that's very rare. If three or four shots are good - they are candidates for a shoot.
The flipside is if a model is consistantly good in every shot and the end result is always 100% guaranteed, - there is the tendency to use them regularly and shoot them to death
Tho only found three girls like that in decades.
