Talent Gigs for no pay? Are you kidding me? (Wake Up)

You wouldn't expect your mechanic to work for free. You wouldn't expect a nanny to work for free. You wouldn't expect a doctor to go unpaid... so why the heck would you expect a model to work for free? I understand in some circumstances photographers do trade their services for modelling, but most of these gigs go unpaid.... and are distributed on the internet, not only that, but various creeps are out there, anyone can post, and expect nude photography/semi-nude photography for NO exchange for retouched photos. I suggest if you are a model, get a friggen agent like I did and avoid craigslist like the plague!!! I don't know if you guys know what year it is, but slavery is illegal in BC along with most of the developed world. Thanks to whoever posted this on Craigslist!

Life Lessons

“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Love means facing your biggest fears.

"Cinderella walked on broken glass. Sleeping Beauty let a whole lifetime pass. Belle fell in love with a hideous beast. Pocahontas risked her life for a feast. Jasmine married a common thief. Mulan was given disbelief. Ariel walked on land for love and life. Snow White barely escaped a knife. It was all about blood, sweat, and tears, because love means facing your biggest fears." ♥
