Ann, I would like to hear what other members have to say on this but it seems to me that there is a sort of double standard at work here. While a male should have a female assistant, helper, or partner when casting a female, it is not nearly so important for a female to work with a male when casting a male. Again, I would go back to the medical profession. A male physician has a female nurse when examining a female but a female physician doesn't necessarily have male nurse when examining or treating a male patient.
I always tell anyone no mater what kind of a casting we are planning to bring anyone she/he wants. I am not just being Mr. Niceguy. Anyone who comes into my studio is a potential customer or may know someone who is.
I want to emphasize that I am not doubting anyone's professionalism nor have I ever heard of a life caster being improper. I need an assistant and sometimes more than one as John pointed out. I might just as well have a female who in addition to helping with the casting can put the model at ease and be a credible witness that everything was on the up and up in the unlikely event that she is needed. It is not beyond imagination that some client might falsely accuse you or me of being improper in hopes of getting paid off. I think that in our society a female accusing a male is far more likely to be taken seriously than the other way around. I am sure you are fine with you female assistant especially if you have told the wife she is welcome.
Dave
