[quote=Anonymous]I agree with your assessment, OP, that this scenario makes it sounds like she is being gullible again and falling for a scam.  I think, though, that if you try to discourage her then she will tune you out.  What I would do is act excited for her and happy; however, I would also point out that she should take care to make good financial and physical safety choices because you know SHE won't fall for it but there have been known to be scams runners in that industry.

I will say though that there seems to be a dearth of models in the older age ranges, especially for runway and ad work, in this area.  I am 53 and I have been approached many times in stores by store execs or sales people who have asked me to participate in a runway show.  Then as part of that conversation they asked me what agency I was with or told me about different agencies I should hook up with.  The first couple of times it happened it was weird but now I just go with it.  It is flattering in a way so I can see how your SIL gets taken in by it.  The odd part is that it is always in high end stores.  I think that this is because they tend to be the only types of stores that do runway shows anymore in their shows.

Anyway, for some people, the more you try to dissuade them the more resistant and determined they become.  Sounds like that might describe your SIL.  So I would act happy for her but encourage her to make wise choices about her financial and physical safety.[/quote]
