Please do not send models to the casting unless they are available for shoot and call time and they agree to trade terms.C-H-E-A-P.
Part of me wants to just be happy that multi-ethnic models are getting any kind of play whatsoever. Even if it is for no pay.
But the other part of me thinks Dov Charney- style fetishization.
What say you?
