Along with finding out that Baby Bird has a fever, and us getting locked out of our apartment, my dream of getting my baby into modeling has been deferred. I checked out the agency's Facebook page today and saw a post asking for a head count for Sunday's open search (they announced a call for models that will happen quite close to where we live), i.e., who would be there, rain or shine. Since they asked, I chimed in saying I'd like to bring my son, as long as it's not totally pouring out. I also mentioned that I'd sent photos to them via email earlier in the week (and before I'd heard about the meet-n-greet) and asked if we still should come. The rep from the modeling agency commented the following shortly thereafter:
If you email us we respond only if we are interested, fairly quickly...
Ah.
I see...
*sigh*
It had only been two days (and on their website they said they'd get back to you within a week) but I guess Baby Bird doesn't have "the look" they want. Didn't realize how much I had my hopes up until they were dashed, but it probably also had to do with the day I've been having (Baby Bird's fever, getting locked out, the rain). I'll admit I'd been a little nervous about how we'd pull off taking him to appointments during the week, but I was willing to give it a shot. If Baby Bird gave any indication that he did not enjoy himself, we would stop. Just looked like it might be fun, and I was looking forward to the chance.
Ah well, maybe we'll try again later, or with another agency. The rejection stings, but I guess right now it wasn't meant to be.

America's Next Top Model?
Even before Baby Bird was born, I had considering possibly getting my baby into modeling. Of course, it would all depend on whether a) my baby turned out to be photogenic and b) my baby and I have the temperaments for the modeling world. Well, I have been pleasantly surprised to find that so many people, family, friends and strangers alike, comment on how cute Baby Bird is when they meet him or see photos of him. So why not? Might as well try sending in a few photos and see if we get any bites.
The trouble was figuring out where to send some photos. I've heard of all kinds of scams and had no idea how to distinguish the legitimate agencies from the sketchy ones, at least as far as online searches would go. But finally I found one! One of my cousins, who doubles as one of Baby Bird's godmothers, happened to have a friend who'd gotten her children into modeling, and she recommended the agency to me. So DH and I took some pictures, and tonight I finally sent the email. On the agency website they said they'd get back to me within a week, or not at all. Now on to the waiting game; will we hear from them, or not?
These are the pics I sent in (the first two were taken by DH, the other two, by me):
