Um yeah...dont do it, dont do it, dont do it.
We took our DD#2 in 2008 - she was/is super cute - big blue eyes, very round face. She was 2 at the time. We had the whole interview, being asked if i could make commerical shoots, how would i go driving to movie sets, would i be ok with catalogue work - blah, blah, blah. Then they make it all really important, and say they will have to asses application and see if they will accept my DD (she was in the room with us). 2 days later, got a phone call, yes, we'd been accepted....now if we could come in ASAP for the photo shoot, as there are heaps of opporutnites coming up soon and they really wanted to get my DD on the database.

So $500 later, and a photo shoot...(great photos btw....of course, if we wanted any, we had to buy them) we had our DD on the database.....In our 12mth subscription or whatever you wanna call it, we heard nothing ., absolutely nothing..i called a few times...said they hadnt forgotton us.....but then after the 12mths i knew we wouldnt hear from them again...... .
It cost $500 a year...then for each job she had they took a %. Crock if you ask me.....absolute crock.
So yeah, if you have $500ish dollars to throw away, go for it.......

ETA: Bettina was the child modelling agency we threw our money at....
