READ BEFORE AUDITIONING! :-)
You're obviously a moron. It's also clear that you have never been involved in a competitive sport growing up. Cheerleaders buy skirts, pom poms and other items. Football players get physicals, buy cleets, jerseys, etc. Tennis players buy raquets and balls. Why? Because without those things, they wouldnt be able to play the game honey! How the hell do you expect a model to book shoots with no headshots?! Before you answer that, allow me to explain to you what a "headshot" is. Are you listening?! Pay close attention because it's obvious that you process things slower than normal-- A picture of you wearing the sweater that Grandma Joe gave you three years ago for Christmas, standing beside the Christmas tree with a retarded grin on your face is NOT a headshot. Ford, IMG, Next, Trump, Women's, New York models, etc all require SPECIFIC angles, poses and looks. No, the photographers at the AMMS stage are not as good as those shooting for Vogue magazine. There is no need for them to be. The only thing that they really need to even do for you, is to take your pictures and send you on your merry little way. Ok, let's imagine for a moment here. Take the "paying for pictures" concept out of your mind for a moment. Think about the Master Card or AmEx commercials...whichever credit card company it is. Gas in your car: $40. Airline tickets to Uncle Bobby's funeral in Rio:$200. The opportunity of a lifetime and the chance to let your child, or yourself have a blast doing a photoshoot, talent show and fashion show: PRICELESS! For goodness sake girl, you would probably pay more than $150 for Justin Beiber concert tickets. Here is the bottom line and this is all that I am going to say about this inital comment/complaint, as well as all the others. Wal-Mart doesnt always make you happy. McDonalds doesnt always make you happy. This is nothing more than a crisis of culture. When something doesnt make us happy, instead of calmly trying to fix the situation to achieve a blissful ending, everyone loses their minds and goes ape shit. Most of these complaints are..."they didnt say they liked my hair in pig tails, and I spent 2 hours putting it up." or "they didnt kiss my ass quite like I wanted them to when I auditioned." All of those who are complaining about the petty shit now, you will NOT, I repeat...will NOT survive in the cut-throat and brutal realm of fashion/glitter/glam/tv/film/music...and entertainment, period. Trust me. This is what I do. Every, single day. For several years now. I personally appreciate the ignorance that is displayed on this site about this agency. It tells me personally who I can expect to NEVER see walk through my door as a high fashion/fully evolved model. I suppose its nothing more than evolution...the weak kill themselves off and only the leather skinned survived. Its not called a dog-eat-dog world for kicks and giggles, afterall. The industry is not hurting for talent. The few kids and adults that fell throught the cracks with the AMMS and who ultimately are the ones responsible for all of these complaints, are acceptable in my eyes. I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the AMMS/Model Productions will be successful for as long as THEY shoose to stay in business. A company that is 27 years old need not to worry about faltering and folding based on a few bad seeds, whether that be disgruntled employees, or contestants. They have had 100% growth every year since 1982, the year of their founding. I work with the AMMS/Model Productions every single day. They have sent me extraordinary talent over the years. I thank God for the work that they do. I just hope that before another complaint get posted about this company, the author thinks about the grand scheme of things. Is is really even that big of a deal? Am I even model material? Why would the mall let them in if they were really a "scam" and risk hurting their multi-billion dollar mall management company? Am IIIIIIIIIIII probably doing something wrong here that would give the illusion that the AMMS is to blame?! The answer to that particular question is, yes. I wont tell you what I do, or who I am...none of that is important. What I want you all to know is rest easy signing with the AMMS/Model Productions. They are not a perfect company, and neither is any other entity in this nation. You are all in good hand!
Thank you,
B. Adams ;-)

NOT A SCAM... COME ON!
Come on get real! How is The AMMS a scam? How can JOhn Robert Powers and Casablanca charge millions of people $1, 000s of dollars for a portfolio and "acting classes" and then have those people go nowhere? I've been through JRP. I paid $8, 000 for a portfolio and didn't get one photo. I took their classes and have not BOOKED one job. I wasted $8, 000 and got nothing in return. The AMMS doesn't promise you that your dreams will come true. It a way to get experience. $300 for a portfolio is nothing. Not only do you get your photos you get the copy release. And you get to be apart of a talent show and fashion show. THe industry doesn't guarantee anything. A scam is paying more than $1, 000 dollars and getting nothing in return.
