I am a talent agent but need your input immediately?

Question

I am a very conservative person and do not like to involve s*x into the business that I am in but we have a beautiful girl who is extremely talented and we have sent her curriculum vitae to various ad agencies but they are not very responsive in the way we expected.

I am now considering making her wardrobe more appealing (s**y) and reintroduce her to the market. I just don't want her to lose this golden opportunitty cause I know a winner when I see it.

Is it ok for me to go against my principles in the line of business I am in or should I just go into the mainstream and "live and let live". Everyday TV likes to make women into s*x objects but I am strongly against it.The girls parents are open to the idea and said Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears did it so iys is ok. They do not mind if i go ahead to make her appealing but its totally against my principles.

Your input please.

Answer 1

This raises an important question. When does our dress or projection determine our values? Sexuality is a complicated subject but in regard to negative views on a persons image, I think we need to ask ourselves who and what creates this image “to make women into s*x objects.”

It is not perhaps a product of fashion designers or talent agents but exists in the minds of those less educated to creativity. I do still think there are limits to our display of sexuality. Having said that we run the risk of being called conservative.

Answer 2

you should remain professional and not pursue this, as mixing business and pleasure can end up in a disaster, just remain as friends.

if you think you cannot maybe you should refer her to another agent.
