Im fucking Pissed... Ok so I was supossed to go do makeup for this photographer today and he asked me how much I charge so I said well its an hour away and ill be there 6 hours soo $175 for 2 girls all day.. he emailed ma back "holy shit, Im going to have to use my regular MUA" then "my MUA isnt avail I can only give you $100 bucks" Now I need the money be I also could be doing alot more shit today then spending the whole day down there. UGHHH I am getting ripped the fuck off. If I was in a spa for 6 hours I would make more then $240 plus tip. Oh what the fuck should I just not go cause Im not about to get ripped off. what to do what to do. oh and I could be down there spending time with my cousins that I havent seen in 3 years

Do the job, only if it equates to survival + being fucking worth it. Hundred ain't that much money, honey, especially if you drop 30 on a tank of gas, need to get food on the road, etc....
in a totally different light, if its work in a time when work is scarce, it could mean eating for the next couple weeks. I've seen 20 bucks (stretched the right way) do wonders in a period of 2 weeks. Be resourceful if this happens to be the case. But I'm positive your aware of such observations.
If you do a fantastic job... and make sure he knows you're the one helping him out, you may get some refferals to clients who aren't cheapskates...
Make friends with models and make sure they get your contact info so they can refer you...
And go see your cousins...
And besides... $100 is better than 0 bucks...
A lot of people don't make half that money in 6 hours
