How shall I punish her if she decides to show or call with another excuse?
Ah yes.. the family emergency excuse.

I've heard that one plenty of times. It ranks up there with the 'fight with the boyfriend, who runs over their cell phone'.

Oh, and my personal favorite 'stomach flu'. I love how some of the girls manage to get that 3 times a year. I remember back when I used to drink that was a personal favorite of mine back then after a night on the town.

If they do that kind of bullshit twice, I just drop them. Regardless of how hot they are. If they do that after they've done a few shoots, I will no longer proactively call them.

This is business. Not playtime. If they want to show up on their schedule fine. We'll shoot them, but not pay them. Otherwise they are on OUR DIME.
