Just left you a voice mail. The reason I wanted to talk on the phone
first was because I wanted to make sure this was a legitimate offer.
And not a case of identity theft! :-)

I am very interested in doing this.

I am a tech entrepreneur, I also do tech consulting (I have a team of
10 engineers in India), so if you need any web design/development done
at a good price, that is who I am. My point being I am not a full time
model, nor do I want to be. I want to do some modelling on the side.
And I am super interested because I have heard many good things about
Cafepress long before you emailed me.

You want to send me $250 in advance, and another $1500 that I give to
the studio. And then when the work is done, you want to pay me $3500?
If this is what you do for a living, why don't you pay the studio
directly? Why go through me? Also, I called that number you gave me.
The phone never gets picked.
