i guess that explains why you don't have a clue how this business works, even after you've been shooting content for the last 1-2 years for it.

well, maybe you should factor in the popularity of these models. by your own admission they are "well known", yet you want to pay them like they are anonymous slabs of meat you picked up at the greyhound station?? :D

the companies & producers that CAN afford to pay these girls top rates, is because thats what they are worth to them. and, since the girls have a worth that others are willing to pay, you had better come close to matching it - or continue to shoot girls that are posing for TFCD with you
...just because YOU can't afford to pay, doesnt mean everyone else can't
whether or not the country is in a recession apparently hasnt affected these girls or the others that are hiring them - unless they just dont want to shoot with you & are quoting you unflexible rates??

So, if you find PLENTY of hot girls (from myspace) willing to model for free, then why would you even get upset over some
well known & professional models not willing to do the same? Would it possibly be because:
- these myspace girls are flakes
- these myspace girls aren't pros & won't perform as well as a pro
- these myspace girls are complete unknowns and won't bring any sales from their non-established fanbase?
