THE INTERNET HAS FOOLED A LOT OF YOU
The internet and namely social media has given a false sense of achievement and accomplishment to a lot of aspiring 'actors' and 'models'.
There is a reason why Mr. J.D. Watkins works with a CONTRACT FOR PAYMENT to ensure payment and to protect all parties involved and it's because Mr. Watkins knows that the majority of 'actors' and 'models' simply can't read and comprehend a one-page contract. These 'talents' are so caught-up in trying to be rich or famous that they easily forget that if they don't have the basics of professionalism, they won't amount to nothing. No amount of 'selfies' can replace basic, simple professionalism and this is why the majority of SOCIAL MEDIA MODELS have simply dropped from the face of the earth. They don't have shelf-life and longevity. These 'models' were all enamored of lusty adolescent boys/men commenting on their photos that they actually started to believe they were famous.
Then REALITY hit them. Then TIME & GRAVITY hit them and they had to either evolve or simply disappear. There is nothing wrong with changing career paths but don't be ignorant about it. Too many 'models' and 'actors' start off in a particular genre and all of a sudden they vanish. Why? Could it be that they finally found REAL love? Could it be that they realized that all those vile compliments they receive wasn't paying their bills? Or, could it be that they simply couldn't evolve in a shallow and superficial industry and they seeked an easy way out? A true artist, actor, dancer, model, etc. is consistent and know how to evolve or perfect their artistic state. If you are tacky and unprofessional, the internet and social media will only make it more prevalent. You need more than a big ass and there is only so much silicone in the world and it can't save everyone. Being called a SOCIAL MEDIA MODEL and 'INSTAGRAM TALENT' is not a term of endearment.
Mr. Watkins has been called crazy and rude and perverted by certain SOCIAL MEDIA MODELS and INSTAGRAM TALENT's and yet Mr. Watkins is consistent, unlike those other 'talents'. Again, REAL artists are not swayed by TIME nor GRAVITY. It has been said before and it will be said again; if you base your success, fame and longevity on how many compliments you receive then you are easily replaced by the NEXT 'social media model' or 'instagram' talent.
