Yeah it is a crying shame that all of the SUV and pick-up truck driving idiots in the US are having to actually pay for wasting all of that gas. I grew up in the '60s-'70s in the US when big 400-500 cubic inch V8 engines were common until the Arab oil embargo. Then the idiots in Detroit figured they should make smaller cars. Except the small cars they made were shit. Chevy Vega, Ford Pinto, anyone? Of course the price of gas came down and everybody went back to their bad habits. Look at some of the monster vehicles in the US. Massive pick-ups, GMC Yukon, Ford Expedition. What person needs to drive that shit to the mall? If Americans don't want to be smart and buy fuel efficient vehicles than they can sell their frickin McMansion and live in the back of their Lincoln Navigator in a trailer park somewhere. God knows they already have the DVD player and LCD TV installed in it.

higher oil prices could hurt Liquidladies

Here in the states we suffer what the worlds suffer from oil prices..I know the UK pays 7-8 $$ per gallon, but the UK is 1/8th the size of the USA and like most countries modernized a public transportation system with Trains and such...NOT the USA....Everyone wanted their own private car...The government said who cares about train systems....Hell the US Lawyers would have a field day sueing them anyhow..You know the USA has more lawyers per capita than any other country///You can't turn the damn TV on without a lawyer saying SUE SUE SUE....Hire me hire me...

We have 1 lawyer per less than 10 people I believe here... Totall ruined this country whewn they were allowed to advertise on TV...

But to my point...Higher fuel prices here means many of my models living 40 miles away or more are just not going to work for $35 per shoot or $70 per (2)shoots....They say it cost them too much in petrol to come here....My asst. Crystal hauls them up here and now charges them for gass money from their pay!

It is totally NUTS!... Because this country is so vast, people won't use pubic transportation or it is not yet deloped, we are hurting and this takes it toll on Waterlogged productions and I am sure other Wetlook businesses in the States.

If these model and new ones complain they want morer money because gas has gone to $4 or more a gallon, I either pay it or close down due to now models.

They have us by the balls...(any suggestions) I pay them and in return we all know what that means to the consumer..

shit never runs up hill, but down......So higher fuel prices can mean less shoots and models or price increases this summer.

either way it is terrible for us and U, thanks to our great leaders of greed in this country...(WK)
