But many gals do just fine because they screen carefully and don't take chances.

If you do the same, you should be OK.

I have considered Chicago myself however, if I went to Chicago, I would work for Apropo.
It's the only agency I've ever seen act decent towards the indy's.

The owner is a genuinely nice person and she doesnt have to email girls and ask them to work for her.
Not only that, but I know for a fact that she works her ass off to make sure the girls are safe.

Anyone that has to spam you isn't worth a shit.....That's your red flag right there. . . if they were any good, they wouldn't have the time nor the need to spam out emails.

that goes for agencies, photographers, cell phone providers, web designers, shoe salesman, whatever.
anybody that uses telemarketing or spam email to WASTE MY TIME tryinig to get my money or get me to make money for them, goes straight onto my "do not do business with" list FOREVER.

I really don't care how legit the company or person appears to be.
It shows a total and utter lack of respect for my time, my privacy and my needs.

I would include print advertising sent through the mail but I don't have to worry about that shit ever since I got banned from the USPS mail system.
