let me explain something as an experienced model. there's an extreme difference between beign a model and trying to be a model. here let me differ the difference and you tell me which category you think you fit under. if there is a casting call for models, you get invited or want to attend. you go to the event with 2 or 3 of your friends. then you get there and you are dressed as though your going out, or to the club, youve got your hair completely done, in curls, layers or what have you. then you go in to the audition fill out the registration papers, you make a couple of mistakes and try to scratch out your mishaps, then your name is called you walk in they introduce themselves as the panel, then you introduce yourself and begin to tell them about you day, how its been, you story of how you got to the audition then they begin the audition proccess. once the proccess has ended you leave.
now once youve made it, and have been casted as a model in the show. you are given the time for when models are upon arrival and then the make up artists and so forth and so on. your i.e. is 800 pm for models check in.. you arrive at 830 pm. then you go to the bathroom, come out and ask whats going on. you are brought up to speed and begin the pre show follow through. once the follow through is finished you go outside the venue or wonder the venue on your phone. and or talking to the other models, makeupartist, crew, and assistants.
once the preping stage begins your trying to be found for makeup,hair, and wardrobe, once your found your being taken care of come show time you walk and come back time for change you take your time getting your clothes off and lolly gag around for someone to get you in your next outfit. then you walk your last set and say your goodbyes and hang around after the show, chill, and mingle with the guests.
if these are some of the things you see or can recall your self doing, guess what you are not a model...... you are trying to be a model ... you are what we call a Patron. the following for all of you aspiring and inspiring male and female models is how you should prepare and denounce yourself as a patron.
first of all, once you've gotten all the information regarding your model call you plan on attending, you should one week in advance have transportation, or travel arraingments prepared for the date of the call. you should always have a headshot, or full body frame shot and a digital(polaroid) pic 8x10 availible for the panel to keep. when you go to the call you do not go in with your "crew" or "freinds" if you are under aged its acceptable to have your parent or gaurdian present but be aware stage moms or dads can disqualify you. when you are introducing yourself to the panel DO NOT! REPEAT DO NOT! tell them why your late.. why you look the way you do.. what happen last night in your life.. who past away in your life.. why you dont feel good.. why you hair is why the way it is... if you are a judge or agent on the panel would or would you not be tired of this model "PATRON" already.. this gives them a sign your full of excuses and cant deliver. you DO NOT!!! LADIES want to come to the audition in soemthing you think is going to "impress the panel" you want to go in simple fitted jeans that fit you so we see your curves and body type. you want to go in a simple shirt but coordinate to show no matter how simple your outfit you can execute. you hair should not be al glammed out and posh, it should be as simple as to pin you hair back in a pony tail so we can see you neck length, you shoulder mass, width, and it doesnt take away from your facial features.. GENTLEMAN ! do not come to the audition in sneakers! or tennis shoes, always ALWAYS wear flat boottoms and dress shoes.. walking in those shoes are most difficult and it show to the panel you have range and you can walk in more scnenes. GENTLEMEN! ! do not over bear in cologne fragrences, its not good.. your trying to hard. GENTLEMEN !! fashion is very important coming in wrangler jeans is okay as long as you coordianet and be well groomed please NO FACIAL HAIR ROUGHNESS!, its not a good hygiene picture. all this goes into account from when you walk into the panel, as well as when you walk into the building be CAREFUL of who your speaking around. if you are in front of a assistant whos helping and you say soemthing like " oh my gosh these people are here for the audition?" " its hot as *hit in here" " why is this taking so long" " i know imma get this" ... these are all things assistants will be asked that any of the models say... you have to realize your representing yourself and if you make the cut your representing the modeling agency.
now that youve made the cut and your are required for model check in at 8:00 pm... you show up at 7:45 pm. you ask the consierge or secretary or host where the model check in is?.. once they directed you, you wait outside the door, or area until 7:59 p.m. and you walk in and check in, minus other models being already in .. then you can go early as well. showing up on time is KEY!!! it tells us you are serious, you have punctuality, you are passionate & make deadlines. as your done checking in DO NOT!! go wondering the venue or outside have your cell phone turned on vibrate and stay where the designated area for models are, this is also an uncovered truth about models the truth is models stay and do as instructed, people dont do as instructed.. you are demenstrating we dont have to go looking for you, people we have no time to be hunting youll down when we are trying to coordinate a show, and run through our proccess.. so being as still and as obediant as possible is what you want to do.. come show time ask questions be vocal toward your place, your sets, where you outfits will be, where your changing. all of that KEYS TO US you wont need a assistant bearing down on you baby sitting, assistants should not be babsitting theyre their to help clean, organize, walk youll through, and help get you dressed wiot lace ties, zippers, accessories, they arent modeling so they should not be dressing you. now that youve completely finished the show its always positive to be humble and thank all the promoters and coodinators for choosing you and having you, DO NOT! MINGGLE WITH the crowd unless its permitted, its unproffessional and uncooth.. please ask if its okay to go talk to people or hang around, it tells us as sonn as your finished you mind wasnt on the show it was on getting out in the crownd to party or be recognized..
these are ther trues differences between MODELS Vs PATRONS ... form yours CARL BAGLEY.. good luck!!

2009 is my worst year by far

well in the beginnig of 2009i have been through a lot compared to last year, i moved in with my fiance. we got a place together, and its very true when they say " you truely dont know a person until you wake up everyday with them", and its so true... everything we had changed, everything we knew about each other faded. the feelings for us departed, and eventually it caused issues, in my career as a model, dancer, and host. i am required to be out alot and because i was always working events and doing shows and photoshoots & modeling projects. it made my fiance insane... i neve would cheat or think about doing it, but i was accused of it alot. and it makes you want to just because they say you are. but i eventually fell out of love with someone who wanted me all the time to themself, and always wanted me home, and not out or working. its so sad how when someone hides there insequirity until it shows. but i eventually moved out and now have a restraining/ protective order. so for all those who look at this becareful of the love u give because when they realize your gone they will do anything to find you and be around you.
