~ Ban Model Nights ~

A month or two ago, I was told all good things about being a model, and that includes the famous model nights at various popular places. Apparently you just show up and get free drinks and all. :P Something that a drunk like me would die for... but all seem like the wrong reason to be a model. :P Who would have thought that the model night could turn sour at the end!? Being a model in Thailand, you get treated like a royalty, but is that fair? Going to the same places with models could really get you sometimes. It's not that fact that they're better looking, but it's how you're being treated with this double standard services. It's just sad really. Daniel of Metroblogging Bangkok went through such night. Read his account of the night here! I truly don't have anything against models, but I don't encourage any double standard treatment. Therefore I'm in for the "Ban Model Night" campaign. As customers, we need to show businesses that they should stop treating these models like royalties and that we have had enough of it. How? "by showing what their customers think of models having free reign." said Daniel. Are you in?

PS. Oh! Don't forget to vote for what you think. Just follow the link and you'll see the poll! :)

Edit: Reading The Lost Boy's "Models in the City of Angels" could really help you understand the situation!

Ahem, before the "bitch-hunt" begins, may I remind y'all that your anger & frustration should be directed to the bar & club owners who churn out this cock-a-manie gimmick. There's no hard or circumstantial evidence to indicate these "Z-list" models demand (let alone desire) the royalty treatment (except for ancient manniquins like Naomi Campbell that morphs into a modern-day Catherine de Mecchi to her drug rehab minders -- but that's another story). Merely tell the owners any more "second class" service and/or treatment & you (& the rest of the petition signatories) will be taking their money & word-of-mouth recommendations elsewhere! That's business.

Jet So... I kinda agree with u, but then again... if they expect the owners to treat them like royalties... then no more second class service wouldn't really solve the prob. the prob is that there will be a new kind of second class service.

Hahha, I think it's really the background bosses (not just the bar & club owners or even the modelling agencies)that OWN those models that want to give their property "special service" ... ;-P

Anyways, voting with your feet is the best policy.
