Over lunch, I had Aloo Gobi, it came to me why this scheme will not work. Should of thought about it before.

An agent earns money by getting a model saturated. It's not to the agents benefit to have her unsaturated unless producers will pay twice as much. This applies to the model as well who wants to earn money, as much as possible over the shortest period of time.

So what will the agent do with studios who do not bend to their wishes? Stop sending them girls is all they can do, which will hurt them more than the producers not with them and the models. The models will start looking for work without the agent and producers will start looking for models without the agents.

The agents are a convenience and as soon as they become a problem to producers or girls they will find they're the losers.

Could be the best thing to happen to the business in the Valley.
