emodel.com, Options Talent Group
To Whom It May Concern:
It looks like Emodel is no more... the efforts of those
who wanted to “expose” emodel.com for what
it was seem to have succeeded.
This new outfit looks like the same tired deal, but
at least they put out the following disclaimer:
- Before you sign up as a model with Options you should
consider the following:
-
- Options is not an agency so we will not book you
directly. We do not form any “special” relationships
with agencies, nor do we have legal affiliation with
any agencies. Agencies and clients register online
to have access to you as a model. Currently over 1,000
agencies and clients are registered.
-
- The chances of becoming a superstar in this industry
are slim. Even getting regular work as a model is difficult.
Your chances of success depend more on you than on
us. Your look, your drive, and your dedication will
be the determining factors in how successful you become.
-
- Before enrolling you are required to conduct an interview
with one of our talent executives. The talent executive
will answer questions you have about the industry,
but ultimately the choice of going forward is yours.
-
- We are not seeking to discourage you from becoming
a model if that is what you wish to do; we are just
cautioning you that this is a tough business with no
guarantees of success.
-
- You should do your research about the industry prior
to conducting your interview with our Talent Executive.
-
- Should you decide to go forward rest assured that
all of us at Options will do everything in our power
to make sure you reach your full potential in the industry.
With that being said up front — even if their
service is exactly the same as emodel’s — I’m
willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I don’t object to some one selling tripe — provided
they tell you it’s tripe, before you buy. If you’re
not diligent enough to read the label — well — it’s
your fault!
W.B.
