Loyal reader Natasha has a few choice words for my client Botchey of Botchey Entertainment for Photoshopping her picture into his promotional ad for tonight’s Investment Club party at Luckie’s!
If Natasha looks familiar to you, that’s because, besides seeing her on that flyer, she was also featured in BET’s Hell Date Season 2.
Sandra: FIRST, LOVES THE SITE!!! I’m emailing you cause I see my picture on an advertisement you had sent to you for this Wednesday’s event: Investment club Hawks vs Magic. Why I’d be lying to say I wasn’t tickled pink to see myself on the flyer that whomever snatched from my myspace or online and Photoshopped an Atlanta Hawks shirt on..
I gotta say they COULDA ASKED!! Truth be told I got my shine on as everyone who knows where to get the latest visits your site and numerous people hit me up for “landing an advertising” spot on your blog which I had to reply I had no dealing with creating– I had to get around to figuring out how to access you at work – so I’ve been a little late on the latest
What really irks me is that people will snatch a picture of you- throw you on a flyer and then have you stand in a line for 1 1/2 to get in to an event they “used” you for marketing purposes to get people to come to… Some people say you should be “grateful” they gave you some exposure, while others say sue them they didn’t have the right to plaster my pic (It’s not that serious and I definitely ain’t no one important to be doing all that) However it does bring me to the point of recognizes how the Atlanta industry market doesn’t pay!
They find all types of ways to exploit models or aspiring models (with or without their consent) using the “you should be lucky I’m acknowledging you” and not pay… I will not be attending the event tonight as I hear Luckies is crazy on Wednesday – I don’t do lines and I’m not that important to be able to skip or rich enough to pay someone extra!
Anyways loves the site… and as far as less negativity (forget that goal!) Life ain’t pretty and sometimes the truth is ugly – Keep reporting as you see it or at least how you’d like to (wink) it’s entertaining – And that’s what I come for!!! Best wishes in 09′
