I remember helping an agency hire and book models...I got so tired of girl after girl coming in saying she wants to be a supermodel. But I look at her, the way she carries herself (slouching drives me nuts!) and then her "port"....I often felt like screaming. I really had to control what I said. You just lose patience with these people in the real world after a while-I mean they are 4'11" and look like Woody Allen in a wig, but they want to do fashion...I felt like asking...are they blind or stupid...or both! I can see why things get harsh with agencies, they just lose patience. But GG is different, not all of these people wnat to enter the real world of photography or modeling. So we can't treat them as if they all do. If they are brave enough to go into an agency, they will find out Even Cindy Crawford was rejected by agencies before Elite signed her (I think it was Elite...) No one just walks in their first time and hears all positive. But like I said GG isn't really the real world. It's a site geared towards helping people progress in whatever direction they choose to go in.
