Yes, I think showing experience helps bigger agencies because they will know that the girl already gets it and doesn't need a lot of hand holding. It's also good if a model can show their talent in portfolio pictures that wouldn't otherwise show up in basic, straight polaroids.
I forgot to mention, I think Wixson was also "discovered" by Meisel when models.com posted her polaroids/video from Vision. I think this was during the same time she was looking at agencies in NYC and only one agency wanted her off her book/snaps but then Meisel came into the story and then everyone wanted her.
