Geez how common is it for models not to turn up?
It's not common, but it happens. Call times usually have some slack "baked in" so the whole thing doesn't come apart if someone's late.
It's agency culture, girl's attitude, and if they think they can get away with it. I preach to new faces that showing up late is unprofessional and never OK. I yell at them if they are late, even if it was "beyond their control" (bc "beyond my control" usually means "I didn't allow enough time for traffic" or some BS like that). Yes I'm a bitch but it pays off because if they get big it's second nature. Brag: clients love working with my girls because they know the chances of model BS are almost nil.
Some of the top names I've worked with are respectful of everybody and show on time. That's how they got so successful! People like working with them. Even if you're a top face, if you suck to work with, clients will book another option. That means money lost by the model, the agency, and me.
But yes there are some divas who think they can show up whenever they want and fuck everybody else. But once you get that rep it starts to hurt you really quick. I won't name names but you know who they are. They are on top for a while, let it go to their head, start acting dumb, then suddently they are on social media crying about "why does no one want to work with me any more". Well hun you seem to love the mirror so much, why don't you look in there for the answer?
