Review: “Scam-pleeeeeeeeeease”

From: pissedconsumer.com
Listen folks - Barbizon has been around for years! you dont get to last that long and be a scam. I suppose Carmen Electra,David Archuleta,Ryan Phillippe,Drew Tyler Bell,Lisette Diaz(Miss US World),Jill Wagner or Jordan Monaghan,who is now with Elite NY and stars as Maria in the ABC Family show "The Secret Life."\r\n\r\nIt's easy to point the finger and trash people,organizations,companies etc.\r\n\r\nAnd just for the record I was a Barbizon graduate back in 1973 and I can tell you before that I was an introverted,insecure kid who went on to become a successful entrepreneur, business leader,well rounded individual. I didn't become a famous Movie star although I did model work on some movies with Gena Davis,Keaneu Reeves,Dustin Hoffman, Andy Garcia and others. \r\n\r\nP.S. I read some bad reviews about Amazon the other day, it must be a scam too

Our Take

Modelista’s Take:\r\n\r\nFirst of all, we feel it’s important to present not just one side but two sides, that’s why we set up this site. So when I came across this post, on a site that is set up on a negative platform, we felt this person really must have meant what they said. Take into consideration though that this person graduated in 1973.\r\n\r\nHere’s the deal, this person has some merit in what they are saying. Barbizon does have a long list of “famous” success stories. The thing that sticks out to me in this post is that of the “ordinary” success stories. While Barbizon has many success stories, these will be few and far between on the uber famous level. The fact of the matter is this is a seriously competitive industry. No matter how you get started, you should bring your expectations down to earth and realize the things Barbizon can offer on a realistic level: industry connections, appropriate head start training, personal development and the development of a positive self esteem.
