Rarely had a problem with no shows at I always did casting first. If a girl won't turn up for a casting she can forget about working for me.

When we booked a girl she phoned 24 hours prior to the shoot to confirm. Then very rarely got a no show. And never got an excuse. No point as we wouldn't work with her again unless she was a regular and they phoned up with the truth. For couples work it was a failed test, for solo can't remember a no show.

30 minutes to see if she's running late.

What's the rough percentage of sessions that end in a chick flaking? Sounds pretty common...
When I was shooting in the UK the Astral Blue videos it was fairly common to find a girl who simply couldn't come over horny enough on video. Shoot one scene and/or some Readers Wives shots and send her home. Sometimes a girl would have a period during the shoot. the craziest one was a girl who had PMT which made her very aggressive. She lasted 5 minutes.

The most often for a girl flaking was not good enough and I wasn't wasting my time and money on her. She didn't flake on me.
