Here's a long overdue update. Both my daughters signed and are still signed with No Ties (they are…read morenow 24 1/2 and nearly 23 yrs old- started each at about 15yrs old). They are the mother of all Mother Agencies. That means they are the project managers for all other agencies and jobs. My daughters are signed in NYC, Australia, Germany, Italy, etc. and all jobs funnels through No Ties and they manage payments etc. One of my daughters shoots for Kylie Cosmetics averaging once a month x2+ years, Uban Decay, BCBG, and has done some shows. My other daughter (a bit taller) does the shows; Dolche & Gabana in Rome, Chanel in Paris, Nicold Miller many times, HotShop, and so many more (it's been years and it's all a blur). They have a great 5 figures in a Fidelity account and are about to start a Roth. The biggest thing they needed to learn was taxes. Their payments are not taxed so they have to do estimated quarterlies or be prepared for a big chunk at tax time. You should find a tax preparer specifically experienced in modeling preparation- teach them in advance about penalties and interest if they don't pay on time. Hard lesson to learn the wrong way. They should save reciepts and be organized. Your child will learn life experiences because they have to be self motivated, learn good time management, business skills, etc. Both my girls were a little shellshocked at first , away from home. They both "hated" NYC initially but now are full on New Yorkers. No Ties is a great place to start your/your child's modeling career if they are signed.

I did my research, as always I read all the good and bad comments... the bad ones stand out people complaining how expensive it is. As I read deeper, all the success stories, I was reminded of a mentor of mine. He once said to me, Stephanie if you got talent you got it! if you don't you don't! Whats the worst they can say? It's No! Then another mentor of mine said, Stephanie if your going to study a subject, let's say you want to become a Doctor, you'll need years of training! After that residency, after that every year training to keep your license! I signed up for the classes and never looked back!

Sasha was always available to answer questions and collaborate leading up to, during, and after the shoot and made sure that the whole experience went smoothly. I highly recommend Downtown Dolls and would definitely work with them again!

His long record of success and current successes gave me confidence and determination so I gave modeling a second chance. Once he was satisfied with my presentation (hair, health, interview skills, pictures, outfits) he sent me to meet his clients and I immediately started booking work. I absolutely recommend this company to anybody who wants a healthy, conservative introduction to modeling and acting. I am currently very busy and I look forward to a promising future and career thanks to Scott and his work, and I don't know how I could ever repay him for helping me regain my confidence in the industry and myself!

I was coming off a low point in my party planning career when the entertainment failed to show for my son's 4th. It was a disaster. So when I decided to hire a pirate for his 5th birthday party, I had to be sure the talent company was reliable and good. They came through like champs. I wish I could give them 10 stars. It started with Anthony Bollotta, who was my original point of contact. He followed up with my emails quickly, and even apologized for not getting an immediate answer to a few of my questions. He provided quotes for several pirate options. I picked the one that suited my pocket book and my son's interests the best. Knowing my situation, he offered to conduct a phone call with the pirate a few days in advance. This set me at ease because I knew exactly the plan for the party. From that conversation I also knew that he would actually show up. On the day of the event, Bollotta sent a coordinator to our house in advance. Part of the pirate's shtick was a full-house treasure hunt. The coordinator scouted the house for treasure hotspots and made sure we were still comfortable with the plan. Finally, at precisely the time we agreed, Captain Scurvy appeared in full pirate costume. THE KIDS WENT WILD. He engaged them in games, sword fighting, balloon making, and treasure hunting. I had about 20 5-year old boys there and they were all enamored with him. It was totally perfect. He and his assistant followed up after the party, too. Throughout everything he was personable and attentive. I am so happy I found them, and I intend to use them again for other parties in the future.

The Entertainment Company that was contracted for the party, . WOW, everyone they contracted and sent to us was fabulous. The musicians (a group of 5 fabulous themed musicians) the meet and greeters (dressed in pirate and wench costumes) and the photographer that was so fun to work with. The woman representing Bollotta Entertainment, and making sure all of their vendors were on time and in place etc. was just as spectacular, Judy was her name. If you need any entertainment or for that matter just about anything that it takes to put on a great event, DON'T THINK TWICE Contact Bollotta Entertainment firs! You won't regret it!

I understand I'm this industry it take money to make money, however the agents haven't gotten my daughter one single booking and I truly wish I could sue or find means to get my money back. They hyped us up just for a pay day it seems. Because my daughter completed her classes months ago downloaded the moxy app (which I have to pay for monthly) and still no gigs. As a parent who doesn't have it like that but want to see my child excel and stride for better I went against my better judgement and trusted these people and it's been almost a year being signed with them and she hasn't gotten one job/ gig.

They promise they'll help you find an agent and do all this stuff for you and teach you modeling acting all of it. Really what it is, is a once a week two hour class online and you can reach out to them if you have questions. It's like one of the better scams. I've seen out there because I almost lost 2400. That's what they charge for their "class" which for what you get is a complete rip off. And don't be fooled by them giving you the whole second interview BS. Everyone gets the second interview and everyone gets the same chance they don't look for talent and then exclude people. The only thing that it will exclude you as if you don't pay the $2400. And of course they charge a nice $75 fee just for their happiness I guess.
