But I don't. Sometimes do the shoot, pay the model, and just never get around to using the images. Sometimes cut it short. Once I sent a girl home with half pay when she insisted on answering her cell and her BF made her cry. Because I often socialize in the same circles as my talent, I imagine WWIII would break out if I just sent someone home for having misrepresented herself. A few times I've had girls get super mad in public because I didn't post the images I paid them to pose for.
Models sending old pics of themselves was always a problem. As for sending them home and getting flak, I'm not paying them for sending a photo of themselves shot 5 years ago. LOL

Cell phones are left in their handbags. And BF usually cause grief.

Strange thing about cell phones was when they first became widely available. They were very expensive to buy and use. Good sign the girl was hooking.
