SL Fashion and General Modeling Information

Should the designer have to ask and request this of their model nicely and sweetly? It’s a preferred situation, but it doesn’t mean that the designer has to explain their every action and thought to the model on their vision for their clothing. If it gets to the point that they are outright rude- when I say rude I don’t mean just abrupt, but insultingly rude- then that is certainly taking it past an acceptable professional boundary. But having to say, “Oh will you please do this and please do that?” seems a bit much sometimes especially if that model is working for the designer. It would be akin to a business owner asking his/her manager to please hire more staff, to please do his/her work in the allotted time. Does a manager ask why they have to do their job or follow a direction by their boss? I haven’t seen that happen overmuch in my experience.

Now there is certainly a sense of professional courtesy that everyone feels that they are owed and they would definitely prefer that. In a perfect world it would be such, but we don’t live in that perfect world. You will most likely have to deal with difficult personalities. There are some people that just may not be a people-person or have a lot of tact. Oh well, those are the breaks- especially in the fashion industry. Let me make this clear. We are talking about the FASHION INDUSTRY- a world filled with oversized egos, plenty of attitude, and an over abundance of confidence. You will run into a designer that thinks they are “the shit” and you will have to work with them. You will have to compromise and bite your tongue if they aren’t super nice to you with a cherry on top explaining their every thought process to you. It’s the way the world works. You have to do it in real and I have no idea why people thought it would be any different in second life. You have to bite your tongue when your employer tells you to do something or else you would lose your job. What’s the difference here?
