I am not trying to be rude - I am trying to be helpful.

i did follow the link above and it was just about a star search casting scam it had nothing to say about metro girl my daughter has been on star search casating for a while and we have never been asked to pay for stuff like that we enter at first as bronze level and its free and you get to post one pic we upgraded to dimond level which is 24 dollars a month but we did that because it lets us put up to 100 pics on the website and alot of other stuff and her pic comes up on there featured talent area we have had a lot of leg. stuff come from that sight but i do know that anyone can list casting calls on there so we always look in to them first because my daughter has done a few film shoots with kids that are collage students that are in collage to be producers and film type majors and they have do so many films to graduate so they put castings on there for short little films but they always put that they are students and that it is for a school project so that you know but its something for a resume i was just curios to see if anyone had ever signed with metro girl model and if they were good there website looks leg. www.metrogirlmodel.com

Compare metro girl's website and photos to Product, willy, gen, ford etc and decide for yourself. I'm sorry, but their website does not look professional to me...the photos are awful. Same goes for star search. Also, why would an agency in NJ (metro girls) be interested in repping someone for print if they live 1000 miles away? And another thing...they "encourage" you to purchase their guide. If it smells like a scam....

I just went to this website and I am prety sure they are a scam agency. The pictures are terrible and the things the models are wearing are not what I believe a casting director would want to see. I saw a 5 year old wearing gold jewelry (necklace and bracelet). No legit agency would allow thier talent to wear jewelry in the shots, at least not gaudy looking stuff like that. Plus they list the number one step in becomeing a model with them is to buy thig "guide". They keep talking about it and other stuff they sell. Dont get involved.
