For someone that has so much time and expense invested I would hope you have the foresight to ask such a question beforehand. Our modeling app has questions on what they will and won't do and if they are agency we ask their agent for their preferences...that's why agents get a cut...for facilitating things.

Plus I could have sworn that just yesterday you were saying this is fucking and not a job. Why the change? You mention time and expense. Last time I checked that is the definition of a job.

Do you hire other contractors without asking what they can and can't or will and won't do? Sounds like a lot of headache when you could just ask qualifying questions.

People that wonder why unions and OSHA ever came to exist just need to look at your comments.

Not everyone chooses to live as recklessly as you. I just had a model stay five days with me who doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs and is asleep by 2 am each night. In your world such models don't exist. In the real world they do and people that treat this as a business know this. BTW straight edge model is one of the coolest and most reliable people I've met.

Raise the bar some and you will meet more people with standards. Something tells me you don't want to do that because you think this is all a game. Its not, which is why you are one of the many who talk about how good it "used" to be.

Porn is growing up. You're not.
