is it hard to get into these mags?

is it hard to get into ralph, FHM or ZOO?

yes. very

if you just want one unpaid picture published in ZOO then it's easy as pie. i was VERY lucky to get the spot i got with ZOO. getting in that mag for a paid position is veeeeery difficult, generally you've either gotta win their 'real girl' comp or be on big brother or something. like i said, i just got very lucky and happened to uh.. get to know one of the editors, quite well. hah.

ralph and FHM are also difficult to get into. i think a lot of it is fluke.

and i also got paid extremely well by ZOO. they pay more as you do more work for them, so if i shoot again i will probably get a pay increase. their foundation girls like krystal and susannah would be getting a fucking fortune.

from what i heard...Krystal got $50k a year to be their girl for everything they needed. basically a salary, and she wasnt allowed to shoot for anyone else....

jaye used to go out with Dan too..... and allira quit the mag cos she used to get abused in the street from randoms..... im guessing the reasons i was actually cut from the mag, is that i wouldnt fuck that mag people. haha if thats all it takes to get in ZOO its really not that hard...

well no, it wasn't just that i fucked one of the mag people and got in. i got to know dan very well on msn, we chatted a lot like every day for a few weeks and we're both massive history and science nerds so we got along really well. then he watched my youtube videos and told me that i have good presentation on camera and offered me a spot as a video blogger, as he'd been looking for a suitable girl to do it for a while. i shot a demo video, the web guy fucking LOVED it, so dan worked out an arrangement for me and i started doing regular videos and they've been so popular that the magazine gave me a feature spot, which will hopefully be recurring.

so considering i got a spot working for the mag before i even met dan or anyone else from the mag in person, no, i didn't fuck my way in.

So how do you get into FHM or Ralph then? I guess you have to know someone?

It's hard if you're not famous.

its not hard, again, if you get along with the sleezy photographer, your in. i know loads of girls who have shot with them, and in alot of cases they have either had to put up with his constant booty calls (literally at 11pm ringning asking them to "come over, i want to go thru the images with you" what? cant it wait till the morning? etc) or they actually HAVE hooked up with him.

meh, the whole industry is based on it now.

bummer. i wanted to do some hot shots of my new bewbies! i'd rather do bikini or just topless. not keen on doing nude shots tho. i am not gonna play those games in order to do it (not saying u did Darcy just referring to above post) and im not famous.

you can do hot photos without them being in a mag, jai. just find a decent photographer in your area and shoot yourself some nice photos :)

yeah, Rexy is ok to work with, but Melbourne has LOADS of awesome photographers!!!

just find one with a nice portfolio and email them asking for TFP- time for photos...that way you get the images for personal use :)
