Paying models

[Chris Saper]

Oh, well smaller towns wouldn't , you're right. This isn't like 20th Century Fox, it's really to find extras for movies that do get filmed here, and background extras for local commercials.

On the other hand, I met "Richard" when he was the checker at the grocery store, and "Ashley" ( from my recent workshop discussion) I met because she checks people in at the gym. The world is just loaded with beautiful people ( I think).

Hi folks,

After I researched Club Balloons, I have had the most interesting sites pop up on my computer. The models enthusiastically engaged in these activities, though quite stunning, are probably not interested in $14 per hour as I am sure they would require a lot more for these particular photo sessions. Apparently ladies involved in 'dancing' at venues like Club Balloons can make as much as $700 per evening.

When I talked to my former model about the trials of finding a suitable replacement, I told her about Club Balloons. She said "Ugh ! How could they do that!" When I told her they got $700 a night she said "REALLY!"
I know she would not do it but a lot of kids like her facing $30,000 per annum college bills probably have tried it.

Julie' church idea is sounding better and better. It would be a strange new experience for me, though a few of my paintings have been of the ministers' daughters who lives behind me.

Your post made me chuckle, Chris, since I actually live within easy walking distance of 20th Century Fox. I'm fortunate in that my acting students provide me with an ever ready pool of models. Every medium to large size city has acting classes and schools. A note on the bulletin board can bear fruit. -- John C.
