“I don’t know, maybe a fake man here. Maybe scammers are loading money here at times like these? But that’s what it costs,” he said. People.lt she said.

R.Mikelkevičiūtė shared a surprising story on his Facebook account. The woman corresponded in public with a photographer for an international magazine.

“You should probably be happy when you receive an offer to decorate the cover of an international brand magazine in a foreign country. I can brag now and brag – goes rugs? Well what if I’m not a model and my personality doesn’t really care about readers from a foreign country? Such an offer caresses my self-love! After all, these magazines are also decorated with world-class celebrities and top models.

But how do you feel when you receive an invoice, for example, from 7000 to 25000 euros? Depending on what the woman of fashion wants, “decorate” the online version (it will be cheaper) or a traditional paper magazine? UPS“, She did not hide her emotions.

R. Mikelkevičiūtė recalled that the well-known model Deimantė Guobytė found herself in a similar situation recently. The woman testified that the same person suggested that she become the face of the magazine cover.

“God, what a curiosity I got, how is it here? All the more so that the recently known model Deimantė Guobytė was publicly outraged upon receiving a similar offer! 25 thousand and you are the cover star!

“I don’t know what kind of bubble I lived in, but only a year ago I discovered that there was a business like selling covers of fashion magazines. They are not only bought by foreigners, but also by Lithuanians who want to pose as models for one reason or another, ”the model resented.

So I started talking to the photographer, this is how he introduced himself, about his offer. What conditions? 7 thousand euros for online, 25 thousand euros – for the paper version. Is it normal practice here to pay for “models” for the covers themselves, I asked? The answer is yes if you have connections! Hmmm. I’m telling you I’m not a model! He’s back to me, it doesn’t matter if you were “on the covers”, it looks good! Well thank you thank you but I’ve never paid for it!

I did not do the research, I did not thoroughly verify the identity of the contestant, only what is on his Instagram account. And there are many magazine covers. We compare the person and the letters with the Diamond: the same and the prices are the same. Is this really normal practice? What do the editors of our magazines think?

Maybe here a pandemic is forcing magazines and photographers to leave an often really dramatic situation, or maybe it’s just a scammer catching an honorable who wants to frame a magazine cover with himself? And the photos don’t even make it to the editorial office: no money, no photos, no style! And what do you think of that? Maybe a really normal situation, and the girl on the cover is happy, both photographer and magazine? ”R. Mikelkevičiūtė asked rhetorically.
