Please- you're the one coming on here being rude and "woe is me" and "I am a survivor" BLAH BLAH BLAH.

You don't want to help, then don't. There's always some that will have it worse off than you, so to sit there and compare is stupid.

And that's why I said "if" they were "citizens"....learn to read.

All I said is: her situation could've been worse.

So is there still an open call out for money? Or is this thread totally pointless now?

Oddly, I find myself wondering how much people would be willing to donate to a faceless photographer with bad photos...

Or a make-up artist who didn't have stellar pics...

Or perhaps even another model who was particularly attractive...



Not saying that people shouldn't be helping out in the present situation (what you decide to do with your money is your business), just some food for thought.

It's a good sob story, ya gotta admit... I think... smile

It is incredible to me...

Someone asked for help.. You either help or you don't... But why play monday morning quaterback from your comfy house? I wasn't aware that they were some many perfect people in this world.

That's not all you said. You said plenty more and you know it.

I'm done fighting with you and the other one who don't believe in charity during the season where everyone is supposed to be a little nicer.

Remember this situation when you ask for help and everyone refuses. I hope those you've offended can turn the other cheek. Maybe then you'll learn.

Peace-

If the Model in question would have been my kid, she would have had the common sense to stay at the airport.  That way when it opened, she would be one of the first to fly out of the airport...hmm didn't think of that did you?  Didn't think so!

If she was my kid she would have had cash and a credit card for situations like this one.

My kids would be fine, they would not only have common sense, they would be resourceful little fuckers and wouldn't look at a situation like this as a hardship, it would only be a small inconvenience. 

A real hardship involves Life and Death, which this situation is clearly not.

Abridged version smile I didn't want to reiterate the whole thing.

And I didn't start insulting ppl smile  Shall we go back and count the cheap shots, not only towards me, but towards others?

If I'm ever in trouble, I certainly will not count on the yahoos on MM to help me smile

Well the thread turned useless a long time ago with people being jumping on the "lack of common sense" bandwagon.

It's NOT the point of this thread. This thread was NOT made to ridicule, judge put your two cents in for how she messed up. It was made for those willing to help ONE person out. If you didn't want to help out, then you should of just stayed out of it.

Big difference!

I am still proud of her, and I don't even know her......maybe it is something in the name.......

BUT the person I feel sorry for is you!

LMAO

You crack me the fuck up!  You should feel sorry for yourself rather than for me.  With that highlighted statement that you made, it tells more about you than anything! 

(You highlighted the statement, not me.)

Spoken like a true uneducated, ignorant, pathetic racist...

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it the name-calling.....

Hey idiot, I'm pretty sure she meant since her and the person being helped share the same name. Settle down.

And thank you, that is exactly what I meant. I just found that a little coincindental, that's all.

Eric... I emailed you.... but I'm glad you brought up the agencies.  I'm pleased to say that we sent a few polas worldwide - and locally.  She got called in to meet with Mega and Elite - and Ford wants to see her when they open again.

She's a really beautiful girl... I'm proud to know her.

I'd love to see you shoot with her.

This is why I hate Christmas!  If you are going to help someone you should help someone regardless of what time of year it is.

For people to be "helpful" only during Christmas is hypocritical.

Christmas has lost all meaning throughout the years...  Oh wait, it's not Christmas anymore, it's "The Holidays".  Some muslims and jews may get offended if we actually say CHRISTMAS!

Get over it!
