To fill in details...


we have already worked together. She is the type to show up early.

Now......

She just this minute called... she is okay.

The shoot ran late, and some more work came up.....

I don't know how I will react in the future if this happens again....

I can't help but think that some model will end up dead because of how we are conditioned to think of them.

I am not thinking happy thoughts.

LOL exactly my thoughts...News Flash:::::: Models can be flaky!

on second thought that might be a good idea Police escorts to my shoots.

Lol... I can't believe that you actually called the police...

Conditioned to think about them , most of the conditioning is true. I placed a ad looking for models , I speak to 15 girls . Make a appointments to meet 10 of them only one showed up and she was a crystal meth addict, the others no call no write. I have a friend she is model out in LA , she tells me the flake factor is huge. People want her all the time because she is sober and shows up on time all the time and really enjoys her work. She is not the norm, I would say 10-15 % are like her.

(not directed at you)

Also this "conditioning" I think you are speaking about is webmasters or surfers playing webmasters on gfy who talk shit and go off on models all the time. Very few shooters are mean or fucked up to their models. With a few exceptions if they are they soon run out of people who work for them.

you sound like you are a psycho stalker... whats this girls name? i think we need to warn her and she might need to consider a restraining order against you.

HAHA, that's what I was thinking too. :1orglaugh

An hour late? Shit man I don't want to know what happens when your kids leave the house.

I agree with you but I can see how guys who have been doing this for 15-20 yrs being jaded. First you think he is such a bastard and then around the 50 th no show you say maybe he is right lol.

Well, just tell me one thing... If you arrange shooting on some location, model show up but you don't. What you think, is it normal decision that model call police and report that you are missing one hour?

Did you ever stop to wonder..if maybe she's afraid of you..maybe she remembers Taylor Summers too..or maybe she's riding the last photographer's dick right now, smoking some weed

The most frustrating thing about having models flake is that you can't predict it. You can try to reduce it by making sure you meet her first, using only certain agencies, etc., but I've had models flake whom I've worked with before and thought to be reliable. There's just know way to know...

As FAC said, fire is hot etc...

Throw in the towel.

If I called the cops every time a model was late
The cops would probably sue me for harrasment.
Models have different calenders and watches than
everyone else. And if you get that freaked out by
a model being late it might be time to consider
another profession. No offence meant but feeling
violent and jittery is not a good sign. Seek Help.

flake rate in LA is beyond bad - no better than 50/50 on a job $500 or less. things improve a little bit on bigger money jobs but they're almost just as likely to flake on a $2000 payday.

also the more girls you book the odds seem to increase for flakes-black girls worse than honkeys.

queen of all flakes for us is Crystal Ray - i dunno how many times we gave her a shot, 4 i think, the last time she called while driving her car over saying she'd be there in a few minutes - still waiting. Autumn Austin another all star flake artist.
