Free clothes or college fund money - we'd be happy with either! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them/page/2#post-1433430 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 11:14:30 +0000 kjpugs 1433430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dreamocracy: same! I love buying used- I've got so many bundles for the cost of some outfits at BabyGAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them/page/2#post-1433422 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 11:10:11 +0000 fairy 1433422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: don't worry I am the same! Consignment sales have spoiled me so I can't fathom buying retail clothes at even $5/onesie when I get them for $. 50-$1 at Consignment! I have no clue what Boden is either lol. </p> <p>I would consider it if someone approached me about it but I would never go seeking out gigs for my baby lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them/page/2#post-1433388 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 11:00:31 +0000 kjpugs 1433388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES YES A MILLION TIMES YES. I love seeing happy DD in pictures. I love taking her outfit pictures. I would do it for free, honestly. Just don't tell them that :) ESPECIALLY babyGap! I LOVE them but I'm too cheap to afford them (you know it's bad when GAP it out of budget and Old Navy is a little spendy, haha.) And I may get some jaw drops here but I don't know what this Boden is? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them/page/2#post-1433267 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 10:15:13 +0000 MaisyMay 1433267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote Maybe. </p> <p>If scheduling worked out for us, I'd be interested. A is a a pretty and easy going girl, and her grandpa has suggested we take her to a casting call because of how well she gets along with people and her looks. The money would go into savings for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them/page/2#post-1433212 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 09:57:47 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 1433212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is a baby model with an agent and she's done a couple of flyers, a knitting catalogue and a national commercial. She's 20 months. She actually likes it, she says cheese when they take her picture. Gap would be the BEST!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them/page/2#post-1433195 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 09:52:53 +0000 littlebug 1433195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: YES. My niece did some modeling (you can see her face on the box of a toy), and her mother (my step-sister) totally ran with the whole "It's because you're so beautiful" thing. It further inflated her already oversized ego, and she is now a total nightmare tween. So IF we were approached to have D model, and IF I agreed to let him, I would approach it in the same vein - we're helping them sell their clothes. I would not even mention it's because he's so goshdarn adorable (even though - hello - he totally is). :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them/page/2#post-1433179 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 09:47:03 +0000 LuLu Mom 1433179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes because I would never become a "stage" mom &amp; it would be nice to put some money (even if not a lot) away for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1432987 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 08:27:45 +0000 Anagram 1432987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So it wasn't a clothing line---but my little sister did a Cheetos print ad when she was about 8 (ish) and got paid $3000 for a 2 hour photo shoot, plus a 1 year supply of Cheetos and wonder bread, which used to be owned by Frito lay. </p> <p>My mom wasn't thrilled with the year supply part---I remember it sitting in our garage and then mysteriously disappearing. I think she donated to a food pantry--she didn't allow much junk food in the house.</p> <p>My parents put that $3000 in a couple of CDs and when my sister went to college, she used it to buy a used car (I think my parents kicked in half and her savings from the Ad paid the other half). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427509 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 14:10:52 +0000 Arden 1427509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Dude I'd be all over that for free Tea Collection!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427493 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 13:54:44 +0000 Andrea 1427493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would be fun to do one time! I've also heard that it's a lot of work/little money though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427470 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 13:31:03 +0000 ElbieKay 1427470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if it paid enough to justify the time commitment and make a substantive contribution to his college fund. I would have no interest in doing it for the experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427387 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 12:11:37 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1427387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah.<br /> We've been approached a few times but it doesn't seem worth it to me. There's not that much money involved and at this point I'd have to take off work to bring her to gigs. If I was home with her and she expressed an interest if consider it, but it doesn't make sense for me to lose income for her to make a couple hundred bucks.<br /> Also, I'm REALLY not interested in raising Amanda Bynes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427378 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 11:59:48 +0000 .twist. 1427378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427376 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 11:57:51 +0000 mrs. wagon 1427376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure! We just got contacted by Tea Collection :) and Wagon Jr. has been featured in some marketing materials for Uppa Baby. No pay, just some free and discounted products. They're a local company and recruited some local volunteer families for a photo shoot.</p> <p>I just like it for the fun experience and possible free and/or discounted product! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427043 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:59:58 +0000 birdofafeather 1427043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: i think it can if they're in a national campaign, but it's extremely competitive and it definitely is one of those things that seems cooler than it is. (coming from someone who lived in LA) it sounds like if you're committed to getting out there, you/your kid can get some money from it. but i would get burnt out quick and i definitely couldn't handle it if i had to hear negative things about my kid's looks, etc.</p> <p>ETA: i was hoping SIL would say, oh yeah, here's a hookup! but apparently it's not that easy. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427030 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:49:16 +0000 jedeve 1427030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: yeah I wouldn't really do it in CA either! I don't see the appeal of spending all your time doing something your LO won't give a rip about. Does it pay well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427028 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:47:27 +0000 Beehive 1427028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't mind, but DH isn't into it, so nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427020 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:43:33 +0000 birdofafeather 1427020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: i've thought the same thing for LO, but it's a LOT of work even living in CA. it's a full time job to bring these kids out to casting, etc. my SIL is a producer, so i half-jokingly said, so can we get LO into this or what and she said it's super intense. </p> <p>i would do it if they came knocking, but i'm too lazy to bring her around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427011 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:32:00 +0000 sunny 1427011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I think it would be fun! It would be a great way to get amazing professional photos of my LO and score some college funds too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1427006 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:21:58 +0000 jedeve 1427006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. People tell me all the time my LO looks like a Gerber baby and could be a baby model. And when I laugh and say thanks, they are like "no, seriously. Seriously." I joke that if we lived in California we'd go for it, but there isn't a market in Montana! (Not to brag, I mean, kids got our DNA, I know those good looks don't last long past 5!! :happy: But he IS cute!)</p> <p>But I feel really uncomfortable using him in any way he can't give consent to. I won't take him to political campaigns or rallies or use his picture for anything work related. </p> <p>But, if it really came down to it, I might just for the money/clothes and to see what it was like! But just once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1426998 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:15:43 +0000 autumnlove 1426998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1426997 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:14:37 +0000 bunnylove08 1426997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure if they could get her comfortable to take a good picture lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1426899 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 21:47:16 +0000 Mrs. M 1426899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I laugh at the thought. At this age (13- months) she goes into serious mode when getting her picture taken by a stranger. She has a pretty impressive scowl that probably wouldn't be considered desirable! She smiled once during her 1-year pictures after I made barking noises....I tried everything :happy: ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1426884 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 21:42:03 +0000 Smurfette 1426884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yeah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1426840 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 21:13:01 +0000 rachiecakes 1426840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: exactly!</p> <p>College money &amp; some great photos/memories </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1426836 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 21:10:26 +0000 lemondrop 1426836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: lol, true dat :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-babygapmini-bodenetc-wanted-your-lo-to-model-for-them#post-1426825 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 21:05:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1426825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would and have considered it.
