So you want your child to have a shot at modeling and you find a fashion road show claiming to make all your dreams come true. Let me tell you what is true! This fashion road show is nothing more than a ripoff they lie about having connections to the modeling industry yet all you get is a cheap crown for your child. I spent hundreds of dollars and so have a lot of my friends and nothing comes out of it. Starz is just putting on a big party show, which is fine however taking peoples hard earned money then promising them a dream they can not for-fill is just wrong.  The fees they charge are outrageous!.  I felt the need to warn the public of their scam. 

They have now added to this road show a boutique called stargazer, which is extremely overpriced. The worse part is that they invite you to a stargazer show for free as they say but then expect you to buy a $350 dress for your child.  This company needs to stop selling a dream that they know they cannot make come true to all those participants. So many have left, never to return, disgusted in how they run this big road show scam. The only way to get your child into modeling is to do it yourself or through a great agent none of which they have the ability to provide through their road show.  Stacie pushes the claim that she has pull in the industry when she is nothing more than a mother of children who model as well. Stacie uses her children to sell you a dream!

She speaks of go-see's which anyone can attend for free, she speaks of children that went to her show and show up on a segment of Good Morning America, however she leaves out the part that anyone can stand outside the glass and if you wait long enough you too can be seen on TV.  Starz cannot get you into modeling; they cannot book you for the GAP, H&M or any other company! You as a parent have to do it all. It takes time and persistence, save your hard earned money you'll need it for expenses. They need to stop lying to participants and ripping them off by getting them to come to the shows with a vision in their heads of big time bookings and  scouting from agents that do not exist. 

if you want a chance at modeling DO NOT go or support STARZ, this road show will do nothing but take your money. Go to reputable agencies that can provide you with guidance and don't take a dime until you actually get booked.

Real agencies do not tell you to gaze at stars they make you one! They do not put on roadshows and sell you a dream.
