OK here goes, prepare to laugh at my expense! I book 2 models who both want to do a g/g shoot - not my normal stylee, but they are gorgeous, so what the hell. The shoot is booked for 1.00 today, Fri 25th.

1.00 Thursday I ring the models (after 50 e-mails each) to confirm. Model number one who is 21 years old says her dad checked her e-mails and doesn't want her doing it so pulled out. Model two says everything perfect. So 8.00 last night I confirm a replacement for model one - all back on.

Friday 8.30 am get a text and e-mail from model two to say "oh no, I knew I would be coming on this week and it's just happened", so it's off again. If you knew you were due this week WHY BOOK IT!

So I cancel the replacement model, and as usual offer her a cancellation fee. Thinking model one might be taking the p*ss, i text her back to say ok, g/g is off, but we'll shoot some topless and lingerie, and she says that's fine....I repeat my pre shoot instructions of "no bra and no tight clothes for red lines".

12.00 I pick her up and we head over to the studio. When she comes out of the changing rooms guess what....BIG red bra lines. I ask her why and she says "I don't know why I put the bra on cos you asked me not to". WTF!!

So here we are at 2.00, 1 hour into the shoot, not a picture taken and we are still waiting for the red lines to go.

And despite these things, she will still expect a great reference I am sure! Should I be brutally honest on the reference, or be nice to her, because at least she could be arsed to turn up?

Is honesty not always the best policy

It's got better. 2.18 we have taken the first picture - as in ONE picture - now she needs the loo. I give up!

Tell her you've now run out of film as it's gone passed it's use by time

Good luck matey - hope the shots turn out amazing

Honest feedback has to be done....
works both ways for us models aswel----
to many models dont say what really happened-then thats bad news for the next model----
so same goes for you-----
HONEST HONEST HONEST feedback must be given

I lost a second cousin due to him beign stabbed and my dad dying in july and my boyfriend tried to hang himself and I did not text you sayign I knew I'd come on. I said I didn't know, I've been stressed and did NOT know I'd come on, I've been a bit out of sorts atleast I made an effort, Absolutely not impressed by this thread, at all.

Also what the....do you get told off to go to the toilet now, I was also correcting my makeup after the picture you took i had eyeshadow on my face where it shouldn't be...I didn't know you had to have a permit to go to the toilet! that's the real story, guys. He cna step down a peg or two now. NOT HAPPY.

In honesty, i think there's a lesson for all concerned here...Perfect Pink book a different model and SL - Don't commit to a shoot that perhaps you cant emotionally handle.

@chrisy sums it up perfectly well, and thus, this is locked.
