    Default Billboard Model Search-should I?

    Well, this tanning place has been advertising this--you go to an 'event' (either one of their shops or a night at a bar) they give you a t shirt, snap a Polaroid. Then they advise you if you advanced to their semi finals (held this coming week). If you win, you get a magazine ad (I think no pay) free tanning. But. They noticed I was not a gold member, & I must be (w/in 5 days) to get to the semi's. It's not a lot $20.00 or so, but still, it sounds like a frickin' mktg. scam? For the $20.00 you just get to have discounts on their tanning pkgs. Which I just go for the self tanning, (their's is $17.00 + the $20.00) & I have numerous half used bottles & sprays around the house which I'd use + I hate that spray booth crap going up my nose.

    Another thing, a friend once applied for a job @ a tanning place (a different one) she was told to show up wait standing outside in the hot sun in the pkg. lot (it was still under constructon). After all that, filling out app. she was told all positions were filled, but they still wanted to 'take applications' aka be given a sales pitch to buy a tanning pkg.

    I mean, I've done a fair amt. of 'model searches' such as Hawaiian Tropic, etc. I understand there's a certain amt. of bs, sometimes having to pay a cover charge, blah blah. But come on, this place will bank on all the 'gold members' they're going to get. Not to mention the bar, all the biz they'll pull in. They already said there's lots signed up (prob. had like 20 or more events)

    sounds like a 'self-serving' marketing scam to me.

    there are plenty of 'model searches' that don't cost anything.
