ABOUT THE VIXEN DIRECTORY

What is The Vixen Directory?

The Vixen Directory is an industry portal for urban models and those involved in the entertainment profession. More than just a place to find the latest castings, The Vixen Directory is also a networking tool bringing together thousands of models across the country, a stockpile of info providing models with industry news, fashion, tips, and more, a source of entertainment offering industry gossip, events, videos, blogs, contests, and an outlet for creativity by featuring models’ literary work.

The Vixen Directory was created to help aspiring and experienced models interested in urban modeling (urban fashion, eye candy, music videos, etc.) take their career to the next level. Getting into the industry can be difficult and staying there can be even harder, especially when you don’t know where to turn for work, portfolio help, education, and advice among other stressors. The Vixen Directory was designed to aid model talent in locating genuine modeling resources. Casting Directors from major networks and top Talent Agents are constantly trying to find new talent to appear on their shows, mags, websites, events, etc. The Vixen Directory delivers Hollywood Executives along with their casting calls and opportunities directly to its members.

Are you an agency? Do you involve yourselves in contract negotiation?

The Vixen Directory is not an agency. We do not negotiate contracts or collect fees. For advice in these matters please see our extensive agency list.

How do we protect models?

Models are, unfortunately, highly vulnerable to con and scam artists. The Vixen Directory takes particular pride in trying to prevent that.

The Vixen Directory will do its best to check out all casting calls before we publish them. We never simply publish a casting notice as submitted. We ask questions, check references, and refuse to publish calls that seem less than reputable.

For instance, we ask companies to indicate if roles are paid or not; if any roles require nudity; are they seeking union or nonunion actors (and if it's union, under which contract); and so forth. We refuse to publish casting calls for pornography(we define pornography as work requiring sexual acts not simply nude or topless work), or for projects that require exorbitant fees or purchases. (If modest fees are required, we'll include exactly what's expected in the casting notice.)

However, we're not perfect. Despite our best efforts, con artists and creeps occasionally fool us. But we take your complaints seriously. If someone is proven to be a scammer or deliberately misleading in their ads, we never allow that person to advertise with us again. Ever. That's a promise. In extreme cases, The Vixen Directory will also notify authorities. The Vixen Directory will supply the most complete information possible about a project, so you know exactly what to expect at an audition before you attend. Then, if you are told something completely different, contact us immediately at vixensonline@gmail.com and we'll investigate. The Vixen Directory is working hard to be an urban model’s most trusted daily resource.
