Re: I need to talk about wigs for shows

Rather than a hair net have you tried a wig cap.. They are much stronger than a hair net.. My daughter used one for a show once, it worked well as once on they really contain the hair so to speak,,
you can buy them through specialist shops or even E-bay

Re: Parent Chaperones

Last week my chaperone fee was £85 for half a day... Usually at least £80 -£90 a day, but that includes travel expenses.
My experiences are all TV / Film/ voiceover work..... The theatre rates seem very low.. ( but aren't they always)

Re: Fynns' Models

Cant comment on the legitamacy of this agency at all, & agree that changing T&C because you have had plenty of work seems very wrong.. however just wanted to say that 10% is the lowest commission rate ive ever heard of, for anything outside of theatre work!!.. Most photographic agents charge...
