Is becoming a starz girl model for me?

When we began introducing Starz Girlz, we had no idea what an adventure we would be on. Starz began from a demand for local, sexy, fun models to represent local businesses and staff events. Along the way we learned a lot about how to best approach the business while keeping it fun, profitable and safe. But first...it is very important that we get a few things out of the way. #1 Yes, we are a real business. I never really understand this question. I have the certificate of incorporation and our Federal Tax id posted. We are a verified business through both Facebook and Google.  As we grow however, we have to cope with the cost of space as we are committed to organic growth; without outside investors. Our office is still a work in progress. Unfortunately it seems we make progress and people push us back but I am still fighting. #2 this one bothers me and saddens me. Every single employee here at Starz is here because we want to be. No one has been forced or manipulated into working for us. We stand firmly against traffickers and will participate in any way possible to stop the practice. 

We believe in empowering women who feel free to explore their sexy side and want to remain safe while among others who encourage healthy habits. Starz encourage women to express themselves and their sensuality through whatever means they personally choose while ensuring that they are treated fairly, get paid, and are treated with dignity and respect.  Starz wants to level the playing field and break down the strong bias against women performing in the industry. Lastly we stand firmly against those who traffic women and children and enslave them as sexual captives and collectively we will combat through any means necessary to eliminate sexual crimes against women and children.

What Do I Do? 

Contrary to popular belief, it's extremely rare that someone can publish a few photos to the internet and the magic sugarfairy starts pouring money into your bank account. I am often asked how much are you going to pay me to model for which I quickly reply, whatever your market equity is demanding. I haven't had any requests for you, do you have an agency or portfolio creating demand today? Just starting? That's just fine but the answer is $0. In fact in the traditional model, you as an aspiring model would be paying me.   Now having said that, there is a ton of money out there to go get. So, if I sponsor your startup and invest the time and energy into you and your portfolio, we will work together, respecting your image and boundaries to create opportunity for you.  But that's the point, you will have to rise up and go get it.  And together we will push to make you a success however you define it. If you are strictly looking for money, or God help you easy money, go elsewhere. I will not bring anyone on board that refers to being paid endlessly or hustling others.
