hey girls, i was recently approached by a lady who works for bambini modeling, she wanted Brodie to join, but they also want $400+ to join!!!

which i think is just plain wrong!

but it got me thinking that if Brodie is wanted but such a good modeling agency then maybe i should look into it!

anyways a friend of mine said that shes heard tinlids is good? however i cant find their information on the net or anything?

can anyone help?

I personally think that childrens' modelling agencies are one of the biggest frauds going around...they prey on the fact that everyone has an absolutely beautiful child and that they would like you to bring your child for an interview, and then yes, just as any parent suspected, their child is gorgeous and just what they're looking for...for a price!
I say go to the modelling agencies and tell them to take their fee for representation out of the child's first modelling job/s.
If they're so confident that they would be able to get your child work then they shouldn't have a problem with taking their fee out of the first job.

100% agree with you Mamaduke !!

I have been "approached" several time for Samuel by modelling agencies and so have many, many other people i know....

$400 + forget it!

hey Mamaduke thankyou for the link!

And your so right i dont understand why this woman would approach me then when i ring they ask for a $400 and something joining fee???

thats why i thought tinlids would be better as ive heard its only $140.

i still dont get why im paying but thats a great idea about getting it taken out of their first job

thankyou for your help!

both my ds's are with tinlids

i think they are great i looked into the bigger agencies but i found that not only did they have high joining fees but they didnt seem to know the kids they took on if that makes sense. tinlids is much smaller and knows my ds's by name

we havent paid any fees for ds2 i'm not really sure whats going on there i think it will be taken out of his 1st job once his permit comes back for target.

just wondering how your ds's are doing with modelling. Have they been getting heaps of work?

Cant wait to see it!!

Cheers

Hi jessgray,
you seem to have nothing but praise for Caroline at Tin lids. Have your DS's had much work with Tinlids. I have just joined my DS about a month ago & she still has not updated his photo's which i'm a bit ****ed off about. Should i e-mail her, i know it's Christmas so i thought she is probably really busy. Have you ever had this experience?

I think that might be a way they make money...I can't believe they need $400 to cover their costs.

Cheers

Just because Tinlids charge $140.00. Does that give Caroline the right not to update photo's or reply to e-mails. I think she charges less, so people don't complain when they don't get work. I haven't heard of anyone getting work with her.
