There's BS alright. The model wanted the $200 a night room at the Omni, (she insisted on it) because she wanted to shoot out at the pool. It's the biggest rooftop pool in Austin.
I was willing to pay for the room becuase I was going to make her the main attraction for my new site, and she was willing to shoot for two days for $200 bucks, as long as she got usage of the stills and video for her new site.
So far, win/win. but when she said take a bus to Austin, she's a little bitty thing and rather naive. I felt sorry for her, and sprung for the plane ticket. Then it turns out, she has the $$$ to bring the loser along.
Had I known she was bringing along a loser who answered her every question, I just would have passed. Had she asked for a plane ticket for mom, I would have done that. She did neither.
It was a scam from the start, I've talked to the other photogs she did shoot with, and she had no intention of shooting with me in the first place. I even know what photographer put her up to it.
I'll settle for seeing her come in third in the bikini contest.
