Yep, I hear you there. I have brought in a female photographer to use for most of the shoots. Some women prefer me to shoot them over her, which is odd but I suppose a compliment I make them feel at ease.
I always make sure to follow the basic rules for being a business, keep everything professional, and even when others, and partner are around, make sure they keep their 2 cent remarks to themselves. Last thing I need is some model owning half my company(ies) because someone got frisky on set.
As for the 'flakes', I had saw it on another thread, and it seems to be a fitting description when you get the cell phone turned off, no call no show, and alike ;).
