New Faces in Hicksville.... What's the deal?

I see the place - it's right down the block from my dad's car repair shop (shameless plug here for daddy).... What is the deal with it? I see parents going in and out of there w/their DC allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the time!

It is sort of a scam. Yes they get some kids jobs but they are really looked down upon in the modeling world.

They make you pay a fortune!!!!!

A tru modeling agency will have you pay nothing.

They get your kid in the mall or something and tell every parent the same song and dance.Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

eff them! They got me for 600 bucks in pictures(in slides) then tried to bang me for another few grand when I was told I didnt have to pay nothing after that. Its a shame bc they DID get one of my husbands students a LOT of work (he was in the last episode of the sopranos and the spiderman movie and a bunch of other stuff)

They are a scam, but they do get you jobs. My DH signed DD up adn we paid an aweful amount of money (it was against my decision).

We fought it adn got some money back. Whats funny about it, we DID get called to go to a shoot in NYC for Law and Order. We turned it down because you have to be available right then and there and both of us have jobs.

They attack in in the mall but DO NOT fall for it.

MY sister was approached by them years ago at the broadway mall, but like the others say they charge you, which is always a bad sign
