Wendy.
Another well worn cliche which is probably the one Wendy practices "To give is too receive".Its a hard one too swallow sometimes especially if its a big favour but I have always believed you get what you deserve in the end.

Agree but
business is business and
friends are friends,friends return favours unasked where as
Business associates/acqaintances will always first ask whats in it for me,which is why business & friends rarely go hand in hand.
Its all about money-call me a cynic.

This is exactly why I rarely help girls out (or only a select few). I made one girl well over 2000 (pounds, sorry on US keyboard!) in a very short time, no thank you, no putting work my way, nothing. Another girl wanted to go into bondage, said she had never done it so I got her some nice easy work assuming she had no contacts, next thing I see her on the front page of a bondage site that I didn't know of and that was a contact she had deliberately chosen not to share with me. Then when I get these e-mails from girls (who i haven't even met) asking for help and I write back with no I am the bitch...go figure.
All I can say is be very choosy who you help!
Take care,
Chanta

I would endorse the "because others aren't a nice
as you, Wendy" that others have put more eloquently.
The irregular nature of modelling work probably
contributes a lot to it. When you are not sure
where the next job is coming from there is a tendency
for people to focus on their own needs first, as a
survival trait.
In other words its the nature of the industry
affects the behavior of the people within it.
Altruism and courtesy come easily in a city such as
Newcastle. They are less easy in, say London, because
they are not always reciprocated.
Pornoland = London. An somewhat intimidating landscape
that, while safe and filled with normal people, is also
intense and creates an environment where people are
less likely to stick their necks out for each other.

Giving advice can be a hazardous occupation. Over the years, girls have asked my for my help with husbands/boyfriends/pimps, credit cards, parents, accomodation, work, health, sex, passports,...You name it.
When all goes well,fine. I rarely hear from them again.
When all goes wrong - "Michael told me"!!!
I've been threatened enough times to start WWIII.
Expect nothing. The plus side is that I have a few ladies who I've known for a considerable time, and they still pop in for a drink or three and send me birthday cards.
The moral I guess is simply to expect nothing. Someone asks a question - give 'em an answer if you feel like it - but be 100%truthful. For the rest, let the chips fall where they may.
