No Shows - No Shame

Hiya

I discovered this site about 3 months ago ish..... I am a model and think that this type of site is an excellent resource for photographers, models and producers to use. I myself do content shared shoots and when mailing models who may be interested i go and have a look to see if there is anything written about them. the site is not just to bad mouth us models it also allows photographers and such like to post after a shoot if the model was punctual and how they found her to work with. It has both negative and positive statements on.

I gotta say tho as a model it is exremely annoying to get a cancellation at the last minute especially if you have had to juggle childcare and family commitments to go. Also sometimes it is not the models fault if she doesn't show as I have myself waited for that confirmation/finalisation call not got it and couldn't get in touch so not gone then received some nasty email the next day!!!! they got a nasty factual email back and i then got my appology!

Rob,
Name her - so she can respond - IF necessary.
I would.

The question is who do you believe?
I have never denied not going to the shoot. I didn't!

The shoot was booked at least 3 weeks prior and I had all intentions in going to it.
However Rob told me the day before the shoot he needed me to be in London for 8am which was quite impossible, and that he had an hotel room booked for me and another two models and he wanted me there the night before. which is fine for most people, but very hard for a mum of a toddler to get childcare, so I told him I couldn't make the shoot.
This then pissed Rob off as he then only had 1 day to find a replacement.
This is why he is obsessed with destroying my reputation.
2 years of always turning up to shoots and always phoning when even 10 mins late and just one disapointment to ruin it all!
Thanx

( 3 months later and he's still emailing and phoning me, threatening me with court action, and telling me he will make sure no one works with me again, all modles just think on when agreeing to work for him, what happens if YOU can't make the shoot???)

My favorite will always be the model who rang at 9:30am on a 9:00am start time shoot to tell us she was ill. When called by an associate of mine to ask if she could work (but not directly affiliated with our shoot) she was bright and breezy, but couldn't work as she was busy....

I don't like getting out of bed either sometimes i suppose, but i do hate to let the side down

got a funny feeling it's the same person you are talking about Rob....

Can't be as he's talking about me. Louise Evans!
And I don't know you
and have never phoned anyone saying I'm sick

"But I think the producers that do recommend her should consider their own reputations as a result. Why are they constantly promoting and recommending such a model to other producers?"

You should buy yourself a clue man!

Why should I take your stance against a model that we've shot 4-5 times, never had a problem with and think the world of?
Just because you had a problem with her doesn't mean anyone else has, or will.
I'd hate to count how many no-shows we've had over the years but Louise certainly isn't one of them....and she doesn't live around the corner either!

Maybe it's about time you dropped your vendetta and moved on because in my opinion your "arse kissing" remark about other producers is well off mark and very unprofessional.
