Sandra Omo wants to make it very clear how to avoid getting ripped off

The ability to be able to tell a genuine agency from a fraudulent one is a must-have for every model who does not want to be scammed. Models are talking about this, and agencies are warning their models to beware of such scams, but how many people can actually tell or smell a scam before they fall prey to it? Very few. So how then can a model sense whether she is just about to be scammed, or signed by a genuine agency?

“Just as Rome was not built in a day, so a model’s book cannot be built in one“

Firstly, there’s no guarantee in the modelling industry and no agency has the power to guarantee you a job because they do not create or give the jobs.

Kristin Scott-Thomas tells Latest 7 about her new film I’ve Loved You So Long

Philippe Claudel, who wrote and directed I’ve Loved You So Long, is best known as a novelist. Did you know his work?
I read his novel, Les Ames Grises – Grey Souls – and I loved it. Then I heard he wanted to make a film. The first thing he said to me was, “I have to warn you, you wouldn’t be able to be beautiful in this film.” So I thought, oh good – because then he isn’t worried about actresses and vanity.
