Creating A Monster In the Industry

In this age of "Celebrity", everyone wants to be "someone" and finding your way to someone to make you "someone" is often tumultuous. However, when you do find that someone, that company who is interested in helping you along the way it is probably a pretty good idea to not back door this company as you progress!

It's actually funny to watch, really, quite laughable...watching a recruiter taking a girl who came out of no where and placing her in opportunistic places, introducing her to opportunistic people with the intention of bringing her future work in her modeling/acting pursuit, only to find that when she gets a little attention on set, she is constantly working against the recruiter, passing out her phone number looking to make her "own" connection.

So instead of actually just referring the "prospect job" back to her recruiting company to book her in the future, the company that brought her into this position in the first place, the company that actually is spending the money for promoting to have these opportunities arise, she all of a sudden feels that she is the one who can handle it all, that she is the one who will make herself a somebody, that she will now make the connections only to find that;
a.) she now will only get that one gig (after she sleeps with a couple of the wrong people she handed her phone number out to of course) and
b.) she is now tossed from the booking company who actually brought her to this opportunity in the first place.

It seems that some of these girls just don't seem to understand nor do they grasp it when told, that there is not much of "Freelance" going on in this industry, that in fact, being an "Independant" model simply means there is nothing happening in her arena and no one is interested in signing her on, that it is MUCH more appropriate to have representation to bring your professional intentions to light, that the 10 or 15% booking fee the booking agent receives is a very small price to pay to have someone constantly working for her, sussing out opportunities for her while she lays drunk and jobless on a beach with her friends.

It's amazing how you can create a monster in one day, just one little moment in their life and that girl is just starved so bad to be that "somebody" that they are willing to do anything, ignoring business etiquette... with the hopes of being a "somebody" someday.
