Rant Beware of this "model."

Supposedly a professional model, I hired her to fly from Vegas to Tucson to shoot for four days. We planned the entire trip out two weeks ago, and like an idiot I booked an expensive and non-refundable room at a gorgeous lodge in the foothills. She assured me countless times she'd be here, and told me to grab the room since it's such a great location to shoot.

She was scheduled to arrive yesterday at 3:10 pm. Around 1:30 pm she texted me to say she missed her flight but was catching another one and would land at 7:30 pm. She told me she'd text me when she boarded her flight, but by 5:30 pm I still hadn't heard from her. I texted and called but received no response. She finally replied with some long, dramatic story about having nobody to watch her dogs:

"Sorry, I didn't mean to leave you hanging on my reply. I got caught up trying to solve my little problem I've been dealing with for a couple of hours now. Basically, I haven't left town for this long in a while and I recently broke up with my long-term, live-in boyfriend who usually watches my house and dogs while I'm away. I haven't been able to get ahold of my pet sitter (who's usually my step-sister) so I'm worried and not sure what to do with them. I'm trying to find a replacement sitter now and looking into boarding them which I've never done before. I already paid her for the week too, so this isn't like her."

I told her to keep me posted, and a few minutes later she sent me this:

"Just know I'll do whatever necessary to get down there. I can promise you we will get all 100 clips done. I spent two hours packing 70% of my clothes into two suitcases and I would dread putting those clothes back before shooting in them. I'll drive there if I have to or fly to Phoenix and have my friend drive me to Tucson. Please forgive me for this mess, and don't worry. I promise I will get there and get the project done."

I finally told her to just bring her dogs and got this response:

"Worst comes to worst I will take the first flight out and be shoot ready so we can start right when I get there. I would LOVE to take my dogs, I just worry they would be too loud. I'll let you know as soon as possible."

Five hours went by without hearing a single thing. I finally texted her for an update, and she replied that she wrote me a message but forgot to press send. She told me she had found a dog sitter and was grabbing a new flight for noon today. Assured me she'd be here and we'd work extra hard to make up for lost time. I told her to let me know when she booked it, and that's the last I heard. She's since stopped replying entirely.

Such a waste of money. I only secured the non-refundable room because she seemed like a real professional and was always kind and courteous in her replies. I also bought a ton of equipment and other supplies for the shoot that are now useless.

Just a heads-up for those who come across this girl and consider hiring her. Don't do it! She's all talk, no action, and her life seems like one big mess. Unfortunately, I had to find out the hard way. Fourteen years in the business and I've never had a model no-show like this. Guess there's a first (painful) time for everything!

That wench pulled the same stunt on me back in 2012. I paid for her flight round trip from Phoenix to Portland, OR two months in advance. Communication was fine up until the day before the flight. She suddenly stopped all forms of contact..email, text, phone. She even temp suspended her own Model Mayhem account.

Then a few weeks later she reinstated her model mayhem account like nothing ever happened.

It's not just being lazy...that witch does the same trick regularly.

[TCLGirls]

I hope you did not put her name on the room reservation...since the room is already paid for, she will probably try to change the reservation date and use the room herself for a vacation.

[CourtneyR]

Looks like she was trying to make her "issues" legit.

[SilentKnight]

Well...this situation seems to blow.

[Some Guy]

Sorry to hear you went through the same thing, TCL! Thankfully her name isn't on the room. I'm currently trying to find a replacement model (I think I've succeeded) so I can at least get some use out of the beautiful location.

She did such an amazing job acting apologetic and sincere. Her correspondence with me had been extremely professional up until yesterday when it all fell apart.

Let's hope nobody else gets scammed by this girl in the future. Wish there were some form of database to check a model's reputation.

[j3rkules]

Stupid fuck.

Yea she is very convincing in her communications...

After looking over my records, I paid for her trip from Las Vegas to Portland, OR...not Phoenix. I am not even that pissed about the $400 I lost on the round trip flight plus lost profits. I am more pissed about my time being wasted. Anyhow its good you were able to find a replacement so you could salvage the room reservation

[AaronM]

I had a similar but worse experience with her 5-6 years ago. She's a complete waste of time.

You live in Tucson. You've got a few schools, cute girls. That's not wasted equipment at all. Put it to use with the local college girls.

[RyuLion]

Bummer, sounds like she does it often, I will let my agent friends know..

[cybermike]

shoot some joi content

[LatinaCamChat]

Young girl takes nude pictures for a living, spends money based on her "friendly" correspondence, shocked that her life seems to be a mess

[Mediamix]

I'm sorry

[LeRoy]

Fucking bitch!

[MiamiBoyz]

Burn the witch!

[CaptainHowdy]

Dumb broad ...

[Sly]

I just clicked the link. I have some exclusive content of her. Turned out pretty good. Was shot in Las Vegas though. I did hear from someone that she could be a bit flaky. Your situation sucks though for sure.

Live and learn.

sorry to hear about your bad luck! hope you find a replacement.

[PaperstreetWinston]

sounds like a crack head in the making

[Some Guy]

Thanks, guys!

Thanks to a good friend, I've found a replacement model who I'll be shooting tomorrow if all goes well. Sucks I lost two days of shooting at that beautiful location, but if all goes well I can still get some use out of it.

Just figured I'd warn everyone about that model since a gut feeling told me this isn't the first time she's screwed somebody. Turns out I was right. Not only did she burn TCL, but I've since learned she's burned at least one or two other people as well. Stay far away from that girl unless you want to lose money.

Not even an apology text or an excuse of some sort from her today, and we'd been planning this for three weeks. That's just bad business.

Thank you!

I agree she doesn't seem very professional, but at the same time it's unprofessional to attack her and call her a lying manipulative cunt.

This.

I'm an extremely fair person, and truly consider myself to be one of the nicer guys in the business, but my understanding and compassion only go so far. It's three strikes and you're out for me, especially when it costs me a good deal of money.

That being said, after this thread was called to her attention Megan offered to PayPal me a bit of money for my financial loss and headache. Let's see if she makes good on her word. That would really go a long way in my book as far as her character's concerned.

ya hopefully she does pay you back some of the money you wasted. I'm not one to call a girl a cunt or any of that but when you see 2-3 other people that all have this same experience then "if the shoe fits.."

again hoping she does pay you back and realize she can't keep doing this to photographers if she wants to continue to make money in the biz.

[TCLGirls]

If Amber reads this thread, she needs to reimburse me for the shoot she flaked on back on Feb 15 2013...the one where she failed to board the flight air flight I purchased from Las Vegas to Portland, OR.

Shit, i see now she fucked over many many of you guys..... really bitch! Her actions speak louder than any bullshit "i'm so sorry blah blah blah"

Then you must really hate me for telling all her friends and contacts what she did..

Good luck, seriously doubt she would have a cent to her name if she flakes on jobs so often.

Sorry to hear it cost you financially though.

[CHMOD]

I know the feeling. It is damn frustrating. What a bitch.

[Kelli58]

So this model's name easily comes in search DO NOT BOTHER TRYING TO WORK WITH MEGAN STARR also known as Xo Megan Xo and XoMeganStarrXo. She's a flake.

[RTP]

We shot this girl 5-6 years ago during Internext in Vegas. Solo Anal champ back then took 2 dildos in the ass and didn't flinch. A few months later she started shooting B/G amateur scenes and disappeared off the face of the earth.

Sorry to hear this happened to you - get em' before they get into the scam game.

This would be entertaining to watch, did it end up on a site or video?

Some Guy, you're a good, honorable person. You've made this obvious to her. Nothing wrong with being a nice guy. There are probably models who regard you favorably because of it, and look forward to working with you because of it.

But to some people, being nice makes them think much, much less of you. You're nothing but someone with a target on your forehead, which you put there yourself. You're someone who's good for absolutely nothing, except to be used and manipulated for all you're worth.

With all that in mind, if she was going to send you money, she would have just sent it. Period.

But instead, she gave you a carrot on a stick to goad you into deleting this thread. Let's be honest, it doesn't put her in the best light. She doesn't want it existing, regardless of how true may be.

So expect something like "Hi, I was just about to Paypal you money. But I decided to look at your thread one last time to see if you'd done the right thing by erasing it. However, I was shocked to read something someone wrote which so offended me. And I could not help but hold you responsible for it, by creating that thread. So I cannot in good faith live with myself if I were to send money to someone who created an avenue by which people talked mean about me. Goodbye." Yadda yadda yadda.

So end the end, you'll not only be left minus of a lot of money. But also left with regret of starting a thread which turned out to be the very thing that caused you to not be compensated. See how thoroughly she has things thought-out?

Just cut your losses, and walk away from this a wiser person. Keep the expensive equipment and use it with worthy models. It would be wasted on pond scum. Best of luck to you in the future.

Ya I think he knows the chances of this girl sending him any money are very slim but really I think they would've been even slimmer if he didn't post this thread. Remember he said that she stopped responding to him entirely. It wasn't till this gfy link was sent to her twitter that she even mentioned paying him back some money.

why would he regret this thread? It's shown him that he is not the only one taken by this girl and it's a warning to others about her.. You sound like you know her and are sticking up for her. I've known Some Guy for around 14 years. He's been to my apartment and homes over the years. He is a stand up guy and doesn't deserve this BS.

This is the part I've never understood about model flakes. There's no rhyme or reason to it, often no gain whatsoever. They simply don't show, and as in this case they sometimes string you along as well, and can cost YOU hundreds or even thousands of dollars while completely disregarding the hundreds or thousands of bucks SHE would have made had she shown

Rarely is it the case that she got a better offer and is off somewhere else making more money than you were paying.

From my past experiences, most common causes are drugs, idiot boyfriend, or she's flush with cash from recent work and thus isn't motivated to go to work today (shortsightedness). Solutions include: threads like this, blacklisting her, telling as many fellow shooters about her as you can. Anyone hiring a known flake gets what they deserve.

[st0ned]

Did you wind up finding another model? Let me know the rates and what the requirements are, I might be able to send some your way. Hit me up on FB if you want (Chris) I reached out the other day on your post there in case you are not aware of my nick here.

[marcop]

More info on her here: megan loxx - iafd.com

I was supposed to shoot her a few years ago but never did and don't remember why. Got her through an agent though, and never dealt with her directly.

[Mediamix]

She blocked me on Twitter.. I'm so sad. Now I need to grab one of my 500 other Twitter acounts to tell her how I feel..

[marlboroack]

What a waste... that's why I only book from solid talent agencies

[JayAllan]

Thanks for the heads up! Added her to my NO List.
