MAIL BAG MENU - SEND E-MAIL - CURRENT MAIL BAG Favorite Mail Welcome
to our all time favorite mail and posts from every mail bag that I have
done. This is a combination of mail bags from Tampa Bay Modeling and
Independent Modeling (any post before April 2006 would be from an old
Independent Modeling mail bag). This is an archive of relevant mail
and our replies organized by subject. The date of the mail bag will
be noted for each letter, with a link to the related mail bag. This
archive is updated on the first of the month when relevant mail is posted
in the current mail bag, and the newest letters are added to the top.
Other sections of the Tampa Bay Modeling site link to this section so
the mail and our responses can be used as reference and support content.
We really like this way of archiving so great letters and our replies
are not lost in old mail bags and can be easily researched. Enjoy!
Mario Story - POSTED JUNE 2003. Ola, everyone!
It's finally Summer, and I've been spending a lot of time ski'ing with
my B-friend and our friends. Picnic parties at the lake are too cool,
ya know? I've also been booking lots of work, and I recently did a bit
of runway over in Orlando. That show rocked, and I made it into a magazine.
Speaking of jobs, our new TRIDENT enhanced modeling job board is coming
in a few weeks! We also just launched a scam section called MODELS
BEWARE here on Independent Modeling this month. I am so excited,
and you models should be jazzed about all of this, too! Stalker Photographer - POSTED MAY 2003.
Hello Chris and the Independent Modeling Staff, I visited your revised site, very nice. I read your statement about a certain photographer from New York claiming to be working for Maxim. I answered his TFP ad only to find out it was a bait and switch deal. Of course, he wanted to sell me photos. When I wanted to back out, he got really weird, practically stalking me over the phone. When I would not give in to his pressure to pay him to shoot me, he got really mad and said to me, "Well I can tell that you are new to this and not very professional. If you ever get serious about modeling, give me a call." Yeah, I am "new" to modeling and not very experienced. Ever heard of a little agency in New York called Elite Model Management? I guess working for clients like Vogue, Mademoiselle, Saks, Neimans, Style with Elsa Klench doesn't count.... The good news is Mr. "I'm from New York" did finally stop calling my home every other day. Guess he decided to devote more time to REAL models. Good for you guys for protecting models and calling a spade a spade, or in the case of this joker, calling a scammer a scammer. Any photographer who advertises for TFP then tries to sell you a portfolio is NOT legit. Sincerely, Kim

Child Models - POSTED SEPTEMBER 20, 2002 FROM:
Mindy What do you all think about web sites featuring teen and preteen girls in skimpy outfits? There was something on the news last week about it being legal child porn. What do you think about the law that they are trying to pass to stop the sites? -Mindy I find such sites
to be revolting and disgusting. A parent who chooses to promote their
child through Mother:
Web Designer: Mother: Web Designer: Mother: Web Designer: Mother: As farfetched as
this might seem to those of us who were raised properly, this actual
conversation happens every day in the good old USA! It really turns
my stomach. If parents actually accepted the responsibility of parenting,
and raised their kids with love and respect, then this wouldn't happen.
If parents didn't sell out their kids by being deluded by the illusions
of fame and fortune, then this wouldn't be an issue. Chinese Curse to
those parents: May you get what you wish for. My prayer for those parents:
May you reap what you sow.
Kia And Subway Models - POSTED SEPTEMBER 20, 2002 FROM:
Jose, Miami Fl Did you see the Subway and Kia commercials that ran over the Summer? The subway commercial had the obnoxious guy going to a Subway restaurant with two models. The Kia one had a bunch of models tricked into going to a "all models" sale at a car dealership. Weren't they great? I think that they played to the common stereotypes that society has toward models in general. None of those commercials had any speaking parts for any of the models, and made them out to be idiots with pretty faces. I didn't find either commercial amusing, and found it to be insulting to the professional working model. Things are going to change. As a final footnote, there was something amusing that came out of the Subway commercial. I was in a Subway this Summer and a guy asked if I was the model from the commercial. When I engaged him in an intelligent conversation, he knew that I wasn't the one. ~ Model Monica
