What's wrong with going to an agency and getting some professionals in?
Oh yeah, they'd expect to be paid and wouldn't be fooled into thinking they were 'lucky winners'.
Pah,

Exactly what i was about to say
Christ they were ALL OVER that poor girl When guys get RUN OVER by race cars, the concern shown is a little different.

This isn't so much of a meet and greet - they are essentially just standing there to provide some eye candy, so if that's how someone chooses to make a career then ultimately they have to accept that any other reasonably attractive person can take their place at any time!Nightmare said:

I hardly think Ginetta are doing something unusual here. There is a bit quid pro quo since the girls who get the job get something to add into their 'portfolio' when they apply to agencies to become proper models. braddo said:

This clap trap reminds me of the stunts from the likes of Max Power and their associates to appease demand for girls at chav filled car shows. It still goes on. I'm just saying that a company like Ginetta needs to grow up if they want to play with the big boys.
The reason I know this is because I have around 400 models on my lurker FB page, the few average/chav/rough ones constantly bh about idiots trying to take advantage of them. The talented ones are always paid and go through professional agencies, who in turn only take on good models and work with actual serious clients.

yeah....right!! am glad you added the wink! I wouldn't normally be so grumpy but this is definitely getting more common and a friend has lost two of her main jobs to this exact 'great deal for people trying to get into the industry'its the same way student travellers have completely ruined professional diving for anyone who wanted to do it as a job and may have spent a lot of money getting properly qualified

Well the driver had his priorities sorted "Ist mein auto OK?"I think Ginetta might be aware that this is not the way to get the best, 'most talented' models. Women can apply of their own free will and if they're all mingers then Ginetta probably won't draw a 'winner' and will go an agency (which they probably do anyway to have several girls at an event).
This is hardly exploitation and is not some new development in the world of promotion/fashion....
Using promo girls in the first place is what might be a bit tacky; whether one or two of them at a given event is not being paid is tangential.
