Notice that "Iknowwhatimtalkingabout"'s response is void of any facts disputing the allegations from "mad parents". The modeling school scam that Cortney Sells has installed here in Omaha is now called Agency 89 and is one that she developed while she was with Impact 210. The incident that happened with "mad parents" involved a 5 year old girl. I've been in countless fashion shows with children, many whom had never even done a show before. It does not take 16 weeks and thousands of dollars to "train" them. A simple "go down to the end of the runway and back and have fun with it" is all that it takes. The Agency 89 staff seriously lacks modeling experience and they apparently also know nothing about children. The respondent states that "most models get jobs". I work in the Omaha market and I've yet to see or hear of an Agency 89 person that has worked with any of the clients here that hire models on a regular basis. I'll give them the benefit of doubt and maybe they're handing out product samples somewhere or it could be that making their students go to the malls or to events to hand out brochures about the Agency is what they call jobs. Working as a Model means getting actual paying jobs. Some modeling schools make it a requirement that they recruit a certain number of people in order for them to participate in their self produced fashion shows. Perhaps this is what the "problem" was with "mad parents" daughter. The "credentials necessary to get work" meant that she wasn't bringing in any other paying students. Claiming that models are sent to agencies in other cities does NOT mean that they are represented there or are working there. It simply means that they e mail submittal photos to agencies in those cities. ANYONE can send submittal photos to anywhere in the world via the internet and it doesn't cost anything. In fact, getting submitted by someone who is known as a Scam Artist in the industry will pretty much guarantee that any respectable agency will have anything to do with you. It is businesses and people like Agency 89 and Cortney Sells that embarrass the modeling and fashion industries. P.S. To "Iknowwhatimtalkingabout"... they're called "GO-sees", not "LOOK-sees".

I wanted to let you know that Agency 89 and Courtney Sell are in NO WAY affiliated with AMTC (Actors, Models, & Talent Competition). You can always confirm if someone says they are a Regional Director for AMTC by calling 800-STAR-420 or visit http://www.amtcworld.com/about-us/regional-directors.

This report about Agency89 is nothing but ludicrous slander. Yes, it is true that models are required to pay for classes, but the statement that no one ever books any jobs is FALSE. I'm sorry if your daughter did not fit the credentials necessary to get work, but it is frankly quite immature and downright childish to blame her agents and teachers. The class required by the agency is one night a week for 16 weeks, and there are ample opportunities for everyone (who is qualified and prepared) to get work throughout that period. MOST models get jobs. In fact, some have been sent to other agencies in Miami, New York, Chicago, and LA, as well as look-sees to Europe. Also, this is Omaha, NE. Not a huge fashion market. It is through the start and thriving of businesses such as Agency89 that the fashion market can expand. Check your facts from now on. P.S. You can't spell!!!
