What goes on Behind the Scenes for the Modeling Agent

Posted by Rickey on February 26, 2009 at 4:46am

25 FEB 09I want to provide a little insight for you, as to what goes on behind the scenes when as your agent…by Pamela Young ,CEO, MODELS PLUS INTERNATIONAL LLCWWW.MPI365.ORGI want to provide a little insight for you, as to what goes on behind the scenes when as your agent, I am booking modeling/acting jobs. As you are probably aware by now, MPI is the largest and most successful model and talent booking agency in the Southwestern United States of America, representing Plus-sizes for PRINT MEDIA, FASHION, RUNWAY, TV AND FILM PROECTS.WE ARE LICENSED AND BONDED AS AN EMPLOYMENT AGENCY.To help you put that into prospective, or to help you better understand, exactly, what it is we do, when we go to work booking modeling/acting jobs for you, think of it like this.Models Plus International, is just like an employment agency, again we are licensed and bonded as an employment agency, the only difference is when you think employment agency you think of filling temp positions on a clerical staff, at MPI we provide "temp positions" in the Entertainment Industry.First of all , we have 14 years of positioning and placement of ourselves as leaders in the Entertainment industry for providing quality plus people! So we are literally at the fingertips, in any resource guide or internet directory, for any client in the Entertainment industry who needs to hire Plus sizes, for their projects.Therefore, our day might start out with a phone call from a client who simpy says, "WE ARE LOOKING FOR 4 OR 5 MODELS, SIZES 12-18, FOR OUR BRIDAL EXPO BEING HELD AT THE MAGIC SHOW IN LAS VEGAS."That's when the excitement begins, I pull out a form known as a "Booking Assignment Form", this way after all the blanks are filled in, I pretty much know what this client wants and which of my Models/Actors to call, to hopefully fill the position.I go on to ask the client, the dates, the times, the locations, the job description, and exactly what is expected of the model/talent to make the booking assignment a complete success! I make it goal to become a friends with this client, so they will call MPI the next time they need anything in the entertainment industry. We have serveral clients who come to Phoenix each year, several times a year and call MPI, such as Catherine's Department Stores, Torrid, The Avenue, Fashion Bug, Dress Barn, just to name a few.Additionally, If travel is involved, most of the time, I persuade the client to pay the airfare. There have been a couple of times, however, THEY WILL NOT PAY THE AIRFARE BUT THEY AGREE TO PAY DOUBLE THE RATE I WOULD HAVE ASKED! SO THEN, THE AGENCY PAYS FOR THE AIRFARE AND WILL REIMBURSE THEMSELVES OUT OF THE MODELS PAY. ALL OF THIS IS DISCUSSED WITH THE MODEL.Once the terms are agreed upon, I BEGIN TO CALL MY MODELS (this is why it is imperative to keep your phone number & all information current with your Agent)! and hope I can find a MATCH! IF I CANNOT, I BEGIN TO ADVERTISE, LOOKING FOR THE MODEL WHO CAN FILL THIS POSITION.More times than not, WE ARE SUCCESSFUL and fill the position, (The client has the final say in choosing the Model/Actor). Once that's done, WE CALL THAT A WIN, WIN SITUATION. THE CLIENT WINS, THE AGENCY WINS AND THE MODEL WINS!These client phone calls, emails or walk-ins, happen as few as 4 times a day, and as many as 10 times a day, depending on the season. For example Summer time in Arizona leads to very few calls for outdoor magazine photo shoots, or TV/Film projects for that matter (which is why we encourage you to update your photos and enroll in training workshops during the Summer, so you can be ready for "Job Bookings" in the upcoming season).It's During the Fall and Spring seasons, some Magazines, shoot all of their catalog layouts for the rest of the year, in Arizona, because it may be and most likely is, snowing in their city!I sincerely hope this helps you see a different side of the business!Best Wishes,Pamela A.

UNITY, AGREEMENT AND LOVE IS THE KEY..

Posted by WHO'S THAT GIRL BLESSED BY GOD? on February 25, 2009 at 3:14pm

Unity, Agreement, and Love is the KeyVerily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound inheaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. AgainI say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thingthat they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.Matthew 18:18-19 (KJV)There is power in agreement, unity and love. Jesus said "...Whatsoever ye shallbind..." or paralyze "...on earth shall be bound in heaven."The heaven He's referring to is not the heaven where God resides. There isn'tanything where God resides that needs to be bound. There are three heavens inthe Scripture. And this one refers to the atmospheric heaven around the earth.He said, Whatsoever you bind or paralyze on earth shall be bound in heaven, orthe heavenlies, "...and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed inheaven." Then in verse 20, Jesus makes this statement: "For where two or threeare gathered together in my name [the name of Jesus], there am I." The Greektext actually says, "I am there to make good that which they agree on."The power of agreement puts you in a position where God moves. Good thingshappen when we agree with one another, when we come in unity with one another,when we drop all of our differences and love one another. When we agree, we havethe power to paralyze Satan and his acts. As the scripture points out, if youbind satanic activity in Jesus' name on the earth, it's going to be bound in theatmospheric heaven where demons reside. Whatever you loose on earth will beloosed in the heavenlies. In this sense, the believer, the one who stands in thename of Jesus, is the one who determines ultimately what happens here on thisplanet.So agreement, unity and love is the key to making it work. Don't hold what a fewpeople do against a whole race. That just makes us further divided. Rather praythat the few be revealed. We have Christian brothers and sisters in every race.So it is time to set aside all the junk that keeps us going against each other.No man is better than another man. Jesus died for every one of us. He shed Hisblood which was the price for our redemption. As a result, every one of us canmake heaven our home, and have peace and victory on the earth.Scripture reference: Matthew 5:43-48

Where do Models Come From?!!

Posted by Rickey on February 24, 2009 at 8:04pm

Where do Models Come From?!!Posted by Pamela Young on February 22, 2009 at 11:30pmToday, many of our models men, women, teens and children were in a Fashion Show Held in Paradise Valley, Arizona!Two fashion shows at 11 am and 2pm at the Phoenix Bridal Expo, sponsored by David's Bridal and Men’s Warehouse, were exciting and provided so much experience for each and every model. Our Agency provided flower girls, ring barrers, brides maids, Groomsmen, Mother or the bride and Father of the Bride.At local fashion shows such as this, Models Pus International and The Young Agency have a booth to show a little about who we are and what we do. Some questions I am constantly asked are, how do you find your models, or where do your models come from, do they come to you, or do you have to go out and find them.The very reason I outlined who modeled in todays shows, tells you the diversity we represent, that has made Models Plus International and The Young Agency such a success throughout the past decade. MPI and TYA are the largest Modeling Agencies in the southwestern United States of America representing models of all ages, sizes, and ethnicities, we provide every look for every project.So how do we find our models, we let people know, WE ARE HIRING! What that means is, you who are interested in having a career, or just having fun in the modeling business, now is a great time for you to inquire about how you can get involved, because all looks are in, just turn on your television and look!Where do our Models come from , all walks of life! We spend out time at trade shows and put up booths to share information about the modeling industry. The photos you see above were taken in 2007, at The Phoenix Bridal Expo in Glendale, AZ, where we provided all of the Male models for the fashion shows. The concept being the same, that is, we find models where we find people who are interested in seeing fashions.At Models Plus International, we provide FREE career counseling to help answer your questions about career opportunities and help you outline your goals in the modeling industry.We hold open call auditions every Tuesday evening, call us at 602-234-2628 to get started today!Best wishes,Pamela A.

The Importance of Video on Your Web Site

Posted by Khadijah Adams on February 24, 2009 at 7:25am

This is very interesting, “Online video now reaches a mainstream audience. Young adults are the most voracious video viewers with three in four having watched or down-loaded online video.” - Pew Internet American Life Project –August 27, 2007....Notice what the same company said, not 2yrs after this article, “Online Video: 57% of internet users have watched videos online and most of them share what they find with others” - The growing adoption of broadband combined with a dramatic push by content providers to promote online video has helped to pave the way for mainstream audiences to embrace online video viewing. Fifty-seven percent of online adults have used the internet to watch or download video and 19% do so on a typical day. Three-quarters of broadband users (74%) who enjoy high-speed connections at both home and work watch or download video online.” Pew Internet American Life Project –February 17, 2009Check it out for yourselves: http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/219/report_display.asp

Multitasking is Dead

Posted by Carmin Wharton on February 23, 2009 at 8:45pm

Do you know why you can’t get more done?No? Then kill multitasking – totally eliminate multitasking from your business life.Have you ever had this happen to you? You're working on a project that requires your full attention and creativity, such as writing your newsletter or designing an information product, and suddenly a family member or employee interrupts you while you were concentrating - deeply. Even if you tell them you are busy and go back to work, it takes you quite a while before you can re-align your mind into what you were doing before.Focus and discipline is what helps you complete a project. If you are a home-based business owner, “projects” usually have profit tied to them and so you must be able to focus and be disciplined enough to say “no” to something else clamoring for your attention at the same time. Here are some things I have started to doing to keep me focused on what I’m doing while I do one thing at a time:1. Clear your desk of anything unrelated to your current project. Believe it or not, those slips of paper, notes and things you “intend to get to” are commanding your attention and draining your energy – energy you need to focus on the task at hand.2. Plan your day out so that you can focus in on one task at a time. Set times to complete urgent tasks, reading and responding to emails (I suggest twice a day for checking email), marketing and listening to teleseminar recordings. Then keep to your schedule. Unless a real emergency presents itself, don’t veer off of your schedule. Complete one project or task and then move on.3. Complete those tasks that have the highest rate of return for your business. High rate of return items are the things that will accelerate your success and increase your bank account.4. Take short breaks away from your desk and office. Go walk the dog, play music, cook or read something purely recreational. Doing something completely unrelated to your business or technology will refresh and reinvigorate you.5. Create your schedule for tomorrow. Schedule your high rate of return items first and then whittle down the remainder of your to do list. If a project or task took longer than you intended and you were not able to mark it off today’s to do list, move these items to tomorrow’s to do list but after the high rate of return projects or tasks.I believe if you stop multitasking and really focus on the project or task at hand you will find that you accomplish more, reduce your stress and increase your profits.Read this article in it's entirety.Carmin Wharton is a home-based business expert and the founder of e-BlackWomenNetwork.com, a membership community designed to take businesses owned by women of color from start up to prosperity.

YES WE DO ALL NEED EACH OTHER................

Posted by GLORIA NEWSOME on February 23, 2009 at 7:54pm

Whether you come from the East, West, North, and South. All of us have something to share and to contribute. We are different from each other, yet we are similar because each of us is Somebody.We may have different backgrounds, nations, languages, colors, cultures, likes, dislikes, habits, and manners in every way of life. Each difference makes us, a people of variety. It is this difference, this variety, that gives life its wonderful mystery and challenge.For when times get hard we all need to buckle down and help each other. We need courage to make it through hard times, but we need each other to carry us for some days we all need someone to go in search for us. Yes our lives may be different, but what makes us similar is our determination to live life fully....we need each other because we have a similar bond. We need each other to get through all the high's and low's that life hands out to us all.Our differences should make us reach out to one another. They should bring us closer together in order to learn from and about each other. The ultimate joy would be experienced as soon as we realized that each of us is a piece of a puzzle and, that without each other, we would make the picture incomplete. The joy of differences will be experienced by our fellowship with one another.Many people suffer from a social disease called cultural myopia. This is the tendency to view members of another ethnic group negatively. And this social disease is one that needs a quick cure. All of us need to open up, for by opening up will make us recognize one another. We need to understand each other so we can appreciate each other, for Appreciation is the foundation of genuine relationships, something we all are in search of.Unless we realize that we as a people are regardless of backgrounds, nations, languages, colors, cultures, likes, dislikes, habits, and manners, we are all on the same team in this life together. It will be extremely difficult if not impossible to experience the joy of differences and the richness of diversity.Let us always keep in mind that we truly do complement each other. That we share the commonality called humanity. Though our cultures may be different, our needs remain similar. All of us need to be wanted, loved, appreciated, and to be needed...we want and need to know that we matter.I have to admit that in the times when I am hurting and my insides are churning, my eyes are full from the tears, which are burning with the thoughts and emotions that causes my heart such struggles. I know that I am in need of someone to help get me through with kindness and understanding. We all have those days when we find ourselves down, hurting, disappointed, disillusioned, alone, lonely with feelings of unloved, unwanted, unneeded that we sit quietly asking God to just send someone to reach out and care what we are going through...for in this life we all are going through something , just many of us have a better way of covering it up.For we all are connected by a system of our cultured roots. We grow up in families that nurture and guide us. We learn early to make friends who support us in different ways. We are not meant to survive long without others. And we do best when we hold onto one another and help each other to keep standing through life's storms. We need others to hold us up, encourage us and to stand with us. It helps to remember how much we really are. It might be time to let someone else help hold you up for awhile, or perhaps someone needs to hang on to you. We all need each other to guide us on our way, so let's promise each other that we will always try to respect be strong, and encourage each other.But what is even more important is people's attitudes, people's minds, and people's hearts. People's hearts can create barriers, because they don't understand each other. For to care about others, it takes a two-way communication. In order to create a truly barrier-free society we as people have to truly be willing to openly communicate with each other.Some of us build walls, houses, cities, borders, and fences just so that we don't have to be burdened with the uncertainty of not knowing the intentions of another. We repress our feelings so deep until we even forget what we ran from in the first place until we explode and we crash. The further we get from each other, the more we alienate each other.Don't hold to anger, hurt, jealousy, non-understanding or pain for they only steal your energy and keep you from loving one another. In each of us there is something that only some other person can fully bring out in us. We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity and the only way we can fully see ourselves objectively is through the reflection of others. We need to be kinder with one another, more gentle and forgiving. We need to be slower to anger and more prompt to help. We need to extend the hand of friendship and resist the hand of retribution. We need to love one another with the highest form of the purest love.We all evolved on this earth from one celled organisms, we are all made the same, we all run the same way, we all think in similar ways, we all care about and are connected to our families, friends, loved one, strangers and we are all connected to neighborhoods and towns and cities and states and countries. What we do affects many other people, and if we were to follow the effects of one action through the days, we would see how much we all really influence each other. And if we are spiritual, we would learn that people's memories are even more connected. And we have the same creator, we just may recognize them by another name, and no matter what it is we are all still connected. We are all born, we live making our mark on this life then we all die, we can all tell what each other is feeling, even if we can't tell what each other is thinking! We all need love, tenderness, a helping hand and trust that we need to offer each other. There is nothing to fear....learn to not see with your eyes but with your heart in order to be accepting of others.Let us stand together as one and celebrate one another. Let us reset our focus and experience the joy of differences. For everything that we do in our lives is to become closer to God in your own way, which doubtless communicates that unique vision to all the rest.....for we are responsible for each other’s spiritual growth for we all need each other to become complete!We need each other in times of private pain, of fear and stress.We need each other to share our joys, our times of happiness.We need each other to hold on to and to be strong, and encourage when things are going wrong.We need each other to keep the faith and love, and to remind each other of all the things we're dreaming of, for the bottom lines is that we need each other, now and always for what greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all that matters, to minister to each other in all the sorrow, and to share with each other in all gladness, to be one with each others in the silent of unspoken memories!May we always need one another, not so much to fill our emptiness as to help each other to know our fullness.Always remember and never forget that YOU are not alone in whatever you may be going through in your life.I need you all and from my heart I truly appreciate you for who your are!From My Heart 2 YoursMzGloria
