I would never allow my daughter to take off to another country under the assumption it was a means to get rich

---

That's good that you would not do that, and neither is my mom. This has been my dream since I was two years old. I have made A LOT of money modeling and not ONCE has my mom taken any of it, it goes in a saving for college. Wow assuming really does make an ass of you :)

Me neither, their education comes first.

As Judge Judy wrote, "Beauty Fades Dumb is Forever".

I will be having a privite teacher the whole time I'm there, which to me is more educational than sitting in a class room with 30 other kids, wouldn't you say?? And to get such an opportunity that will allow me to fufill my dreams at such a young age, does not come along often. If not taken, I might never see it again. It's sad that none of you just can't be happy for me, but then again listen to your quote, only an ugly person would say that. So I guess I understand, but jelousy is the root of all evil my friend. ;)

The Asian countries are notorious for those types of things. Very sad!

Yes it is, but if you do your research you will find that Asia is the biggest fashion industry right now.

Your mother would be the one that needs to sign it, as you are a minor.

I hope your mother has the contract reviewed by an attorney.

There are some modeling scams that have been going on for many years and although some are legitimate, many, IMO, are not. They tend to change forms as many scams do.

One example is some of the beauty pageants, people get so caught up in them that they don't question whether or not it's the "real deal".

They get promised things if they win, and then for some reason or another, hmmm... it doesn't happen. Of course, they can make things happen when the contestants are being charged non-refundable fees (this is how they make their money). Then if a contestant complains they are blackballed. These agencies cannot afford to have anybody reveal the truth about them, how else can they keep stringing others along if the truth does come to light.

I hope you are not required to pay money up front to get this modeling job in Korea.

---

I pay NOTHING. They pay for my stay, food, plane ticket, bodygaurd/shaparone, ect. All I do is work my butt off, model for Vogue, Vanity Fair, Allure, ect., get a great tearsheet/portfolio, make $10,000, and come home. I know it sounds too good to be true, but they went through the US embassy (Gosh I hope that's how you spell that! It doesn't look right) they have MANY refrences, which I have met in person, that have already taken this trip, and have been looked into by not only the agency, but my family. So the magazines are in Korean (go figure) but I'll make shure to post some pics after all this, if that's possible on this site <3Anyways, if you wish to continue, be my guest. I can't wait to hear what you have to say next. Wow, this is fun!!

Absolutely, one on one education can be quite affective.

That's where we disagree, but I'll leave it at that. My intent is not to upset you, but to give you a "heads up".

Sorry if I upset you where you feel the need to try and insult me. Personally, I can honestly tell you I have never been jealous of anyone.

I have 3 children, and as a parent, I want the best for them too. I am very proud of them and want them to be happy, educated, successful and safe. Two of them are already adults and are well on there way being productive, American citizens. Pursuing there dreams, but keeping it real. (Our son wanted to be Superman when he grew up, he turned out to be more like a MacGyver).

When you are through being mad at me, please go back and read the posts and see if you can pick up on the message that I was trying to get across to you. ;)

I wish you luck, happiness, success and wisdom.

Please have an attorney (not affiliated with your agent) look over the contract.

I wouldn't recommend you post pictures of yourself here. You don't need to prove anything to me or anyone else for that matter.
