These people are theives. We did their model show case in Los Angeles, My daughter got a job for an ad in a magazine. We did that and we never got paid for it or got a copy of the ad nor did we see it in a magazine, that it was suppose to be in.
When we contacted them regarding this, we never heard from them, it was always leave a message, leave a message for a call back. Never got the call back.
Low and behold about 2 weeks before the even in Los Angeles the following year, we get a phone call. We have a shoot for your daughter to appear in a magazine ad, but you have to come to the convention for us to give it to you. I told them no way, they wanted me to pay for the event again, 2 weeks was not enough notice to get tickets to Los Angeles and I was not going to pay for the event again. I also told them about what previously happened, I also told them that if given the opportunity I would tell everyone I knew what thieves they were. About 1 hour later I get a phone call from the director(we call him, the snake oil salesman) We will pay for your tickets to Los Angeles, and entry into the event and for the hotel. All you have to cover is new photo's and we will give you the information for the photo shoot. We went to Los Angeles, did the photo shoot, got paid for it, never saw it in the magazines they said it would be in. Tried to contact the company that the shoot was for, could not find an address or phone number for said company. Tried to call Aquarian again, got shoved into voice mail. never have gotten a phone call back. However I will say that we are signed with 10 other agencies in Los Angeles and New York and have gotten plenty of work from them and never 1 time have we paid a fee to them or attended a mandatory fee to a modeling convention. Please don't waste your money. The old rule applies "If it sounds too good to be TRUE it is"
