Sapphire Studios "free" makeover.

After filling in my detials to book a FREE make-over from Sapphire Studios on the comps board, I got called today because apparently I'd "won". Funny that, I didn't enter a competition....... The over friendly woman was going on and on about how lucky I was to have "won" this and that I was only one of five winners.
She went into her whole prize breakdown until I butted in and asked so how much do I need to pay for the photos?
She didnt tell me (of course) but went into a speel about sadly theyre not free but we have different packages to suit your budget etc etc.
Im not interested.
The make-over for you and up to any 5 family members IS free, but is pretty pointless without any images (unless you're all going out for the evening or something in the London area). These are about £80 for 1 typically for similar companies and they will usually try all they can you get you to buy one of their packages..
Oh a positive note, I only said once I wasnt interested and she let it go. Kudos to them.
If you want a 100% free "make-over" and images ask a photographer and MUA to work TFP (time for prints) with you. They get to use the images for their portfolios and you get free prints if they are interested in working with you. I'm a model and can answer any questions on this as I do it often when I need new images for my folio.
