2022-01-1111 minModel POVThe Importance of Fostering A Healthy Relationship With Your AgentsSo often we are saying how agents don’t treat models the best, and it is true! In some instances. The majority of the time it’s knowing who you can work with, openly communicate with, and learn from, and who is only hiring you to make money off of you paying for training, portfolio shoots, etc. From my experience, having agents you can talk to about anything has been way more beneficial for me than trying to figure out how to navigate this industry on my own.

2021-08-0109 minModel POVMegan Fox & Michael BayEw ew ew. With Megan Fox being Megan Fox, I am honestly not surprised at the over-sexualization she’s faced in the industry. Unfortunately I couldn’t tell all her experiences, otherwise I think we would be here for at least an hour, but we focus mainly on her weird working relationship(?) with Michael Bay. How does fixing a car show your acting skills?? Why would you cast a 15 year old as a stripper, and then make her dance soaking wet under a waterfall when she couldn’t get into the bar? It’s just common decency people, c’mon.
