Just thought I'd throw a thought out there. I'm about to give up on studios. I've tried Lovely Angels, Greenlight, all the MKs, MizzKim, Kpop, etc. I've become discouraged by several things:My 2 Cents
1. It's getting more common for the girl you see to not be the girl you thought you were seeing.
2. The extra charges are simply going out of sight.
3. We all know the pictures are always bogus.
4. Getting clearance seems to involve everything up to my grandmother's maiden name.
5. If you ever, repeat 'ever', have some conflict, disagreement, etc. with a studio, you become persona non grata.
6. Let's face it. Studios are now at the upper end of the monetary ladder with regard to afternoon delights.
7. Seems to me the level of service is going down rather than going up, and it's getting harder to believe the reviews.

2. The hobby is increasing in prices because we continue to pay. Simple economics.
3. Sometime the body is a match and the face is not, sometimes the face is a match and the body is not, and other times neither. It seems to be part of the business, but I hope it gets better
4. The clearance process is getting crazy, and I refuse to provide pictures, address, and DL numbers. I just will not do it.
5. Conflict should be resolved directly with the studio first. If you make that public you run the risk of being "Blackballed".
6. No comment. I'm still fairly new to the game
7. The service seems to be hit and miss for me. Average most of the time but poor and great only occasionally.
