I wasn't there but five years ago, in 2008, I met "Dre" in Austin. Her story could have been mine except I hung out for less than a day and said, "hell no." and she stuck it out for, what, a week? Anyway, to make a long story short, I completely believe Katie when she says "Dre" is a pimp and there is no "Mrs. M." However, there may be a Mrs. M, five years ago it was just the pimp "Dre" and he had the same personality, same everything, that Katie describes. He was even driving girls around town and taking most of their money. I didn't take any appts but in the few hours I was involved, he drove a young Staff Edit JJ around to her appts, took her money, and they even went on a Staff Edit JJ run, while I was in the back seat. As soon as I could, I ran and never looked back. Yep, I whole heartedly believe this young lady and I would bet money, lots of money, that Dre is behind the entire "agency". He sure does sound like the Dre I met in 2008 before I was even introduced to ASPD. Same MO, different city.
Katie, I can help you reestablish yourself as an indy and get you some great pics that belong only to you. I don't need your money, I would just do it as my humanitarian deed of the month. You don't need to feel bullied any more. Just move on and let this one roll off. You won't change GFX and you won't get a heartfelt apology from them. But you can learn from this and instead of getting jaded, just get some tools in your tool belt and let this industry work for you so you can have some fun and get paid. HG
