MUSE modeling management…? Fake Or Real?? MY STORY! And I Have question’s If This Happen To You Also?
Last Saturday, 1-8th-2011. I was walking with a friend on the Upper level of Clackamas Town Center Mall. This Lady came up Too Me, She Look Very Professional, She Came over too me. She Handed me a business card out of her leather bag, With Her Name(Lydia Johnston) On It. She ask’t me how tall i am. I said 5 7″ or 5 8″ (cause last time i check I Was 5 7″.6cm so i was not sure.) She Seem Like she was in a hurry, She said too Call This Number 503.227.6633
Two Days Later I Told My Mom, She was Very Excited About it. We Look It Up Online www.musemodels.com Witch Their Website look Very REAL. Butt I Was Not Going to take my chances because ANYONE can SET UP OR MAKE a WEBSITE THATS FAKE, even though it looks real. So Then I Typed In Her Name On Google I New What She Look Like… Short/ Tan/ light Brown- colored eyes/ dark-Brown Hair/ mid Long. Not alot make up on her face. Clean Cut looking.
So I went on Facebook and look up her name nothing showed and for modeling you would think, MUSE modeling management in Portland would try to putt Themselves on the market to get notice. cause that’s what management places DO Or at least i thought so…anyways.
I Found A blog That A Real Model Wrights about her Starting out and how ALOT, of Modeling agency ARE SCAMS.
I Have a meeting with them at 5:30 sometime next week. I’m taking my mom with me of course. Cause I’m 16 years old. but if you our still order or younger you should take and adult or a Guy friend Just to stay SAFE. That’s The Smart Thing to DO. And DO NOT BY ANY MEANS FILL OUT A CONTRACT DURING YOUR FIRST MEETING OR PAY ANY MONEY For Photos you take for you first meeting. Always Ask Why? To Any Modeling Company. And Ask to TAKE the CONTRACT WITH YOU. And you can come back To make your final choice IF you want to stay with them or not. Or Just Drop It AT The Door unsigned. lol. um also I CALLED they phone during AFTER HOURS, I was told a good agency has Emergency Number… For when your photogher’s cancel on you or no one shows up. Then you have a number to call to rebook yourself for some, another Shoot or for a store or runway.
I Called after hours and The Machine answer to a guys voice saying offices hours and saying they get back to you, but no Emergency Number!?? And Sounded old also Cause at thee end he said happy news years which hello that was like forever ago. So Im Still on my doubts about MUSE PORTLAND. The One I Know Is real is MUSE NYC.
I lived Portland my whole life and was born here:D MUSE management ends up being a scam, its going to turn out bad for them! Cause I make sure police knows about it.
Or if not Then I would happy to model for them as long as they it says in my contract for 15% or 20% for and agency fee and the rest the money would go to me cause thats professional. 
** Make Sure To bring someone with you.
**** ASK to take contract with you and say you will bring it back unsigned or signed. READ The contract yourself then have a parent read it or go have a Lawyer Look Over Small Contract, with you so they can explain more about what you should do or not do and if its a good choice…???
*** YOU can also book yourself to and be a model. you get more money and no contract. but i pretty sure you have to be 18, unless you have a parent willing to book you.
*** Don’t Take Gross Picture If they ask you to! since your under aged!
Question:
Have you had this happen to you??
If MUSE Modeling for REAL OR Scam??
DO TELL, People…
