Thanks so much for this DMC!
It's so weird that both you and I ended up at the same place... but coming from totally different directions. I had always wondered if I could have made a real go at it if I could find more wealthy customers... my poor model friends really were just getting by... I'm not sure many young ladies would put up with the hardships of modelling if they had an easier alternative... but now after your story, that well and truly answers that.

I never once had to haggle on price or was ever asked to do a style that wasn't in my wheel house. In 7 years I only had a couple of demanding clients, which is pretty incredible. I'm glad we both found our groove and didn't let the monsters get us down!
