least surprising thing ever...Wait... Mohamed Hadid? With an asterisk?
Oh, you've got to tell us more about this.least surprising thing ever...
Uh, no. I wanted an outlet to go anonymous. There was one for the Skinny Gossip confessions thread. I wasn’t asking to specifically become a VIP and to have everyone else that has stories to tell to become a VIP as well, that would make no sense.
Also, trying to crack jokes when we talking about such a serious, sad and very sensitive topic is so rude...
Also, I know a couple of photographers on that list and I'm 110% not surprised. I wish I had enough courage to put mine on the list but.. it's so much easier said than done. 6 years later and I'm still afraid to go public.
Did anyone by chance screenshot the list before it was taken down today at midnight? My phone died before I could, and I couldn't get to my phone in time to do so..

You would think that's the case, but so many people are dumb as bricks. I only know about this from the acting world, but it looks like exactly the same scenario plays out - desperate, ignorant parents and non-talented idiots who haven't had proper training but just "decided" to become actors (because obviously it's totes easy) are the ones who end up financing scam agencies. All you have to do is type "X Agency Scam" into Google to find takedowns. Hell, past dupes have even left bad, lengthy Google reviews on those "agency" pages! And yet they'll line up to drop $5000-$10,000 on headshots and classes which can *only* be provided exclusively by *that* agency, which should be yet another massive red flag...Yip but it's hard to feel sorry for girls when ten minutes of research on the internet will tell them that a reputable agency will not ask for money up front.
I’d be interested in your opinions on IMG?Wihelmina has licensed subsidiaries, much like Elite does. Elite London, Paris, LA and The Society as well as Wilhelmina NY, LA, London, Miami are 100% legit and as a result, probably have better payment. The others, like Elite NY (and other cities) or Wilhelmina in other cities just bought access to the name and aren't managed by the same people, and aren't publicly traded in Wilhelmina's case (whereas the NY/London/Miami/LA is publicly traded)
From what I’ve seen written on the forums, it’s a legitimate agency but they put all their effort into their ‘stars’ and much less into development and new facesI’d be interested in your opinions on IMG?

reputable? I noticed it was on the list of not legitimate modelling agencies.
This was insightful and extremely helpful, thank youI'm not an insider by any stretch but I'd take most of that list with a grain of salt. Walk in ready to listen, be professional, be gracious, and scour any contract offered with a fine toothed comb. Be prepared and willing to walk away from anything that feels uncomfortable and/or wrong.
Hopefully someone else had some proper insight. This is just the advise I'd give anyone looking to sign a contract in any industry.

Marcus @Monster got dragged hard and it was later shown as a mistake.
