Ok I can't be the only one that finds this wrong and creepy When these Middle aged Fat creepy guys decide to go online to a nice place set up for REAL MODELS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS and turn it into some really creepy place most of the models that are older and smarter know not to fall into this trap but some of the young and neive girls may so let this be a warning to you and YES it did come from someone on MM in ohio ladies never fall for this no matter how much thay offer to pay you it will almost alway never end up in a good way...  And as for all of you TRULEY AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHERS here at MM we all love you..

P.S.   LADIES PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE REPUTABLE PHOTOGRAPHERS ON HERE AND SOME PRETTY DAMN GOOD ONES JUST REMEMBER TO ASK FOR A LIST OF REFRENCES AND IF THAY DON'T HAVE THEM OR KEEP GIVING YOU EXCUSES OR I FORGOT TELL THEM TO RESCHEDULE UNTIL YOU CAN GET THEM TO CHECK OUT.

This is probably a stupid Q but I will ask it anyway.
Your profile reflects a very Gothic look (My weakness)
Very little in the way of BDSM.
My question is this.. are you in, or do you have a curiousity about the
lifestyle?
Like I said it may be a stupid question but I would rather know
than not ask and be left wondering.

Blessed Holiday and Prosperous New Year.

ps If you are planning to attend the NYE *Party Like A Rock Star event at Jillians this Saturday. Look me up. I am also part of the cast for the Sopranos Last Supper which will be playing in the back banquet room...
It is usually in the Lava Lounge of the Tower but for NYE we are moving to the bigger room. www.comedywedding.com
Which also reminds me have you ever thought of doing any acting?? We are in need of another female in the cast.

    well the question was more along a personal line.. since you would probably not do a professional shoot if you did not have at least a passing interest personally.

Sorry to hear you will not be making it to the NYE party @ Jillians

No offense Cheryl, but this seems to be a personal matter that would be best discussed off-list, not a "we have a disagreement, problem or issue, that I need to tell the world that this guy's a jerk" type of situation...

I mean, the tone here doesn't seem like a rant, but rather a tyrade. Especially when you write your appendage in all caps, which means you're "SHOUTING @ THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS" to everybody who will read...

Things like this suck, but it also sucks when something like this is just a plain old misunderstanding & then the world gets it yelled @ them. Then when it gets resolved between you two (if it's possible), it will never be resolved for the rest of the MM world...

It's been said that "words are like a thousand feathers, once spoken into the wind, you'll never be able to retrieve them all" That's why gossip & rumors are so harmful. Best is to try & resolve it privately & if that doesn't work, make a complaint @ the complaint dept...

Due to all the over use of caps and underuse of periods, causing the longest runon sentences in history, I really did not even make it half way through your post. But let me tell you this. There really is no way to keep the creeps away. There will always be some to get in. You can not screen 80 thousand members to see if they are creeps or not.

NO, but you can make sure that you take an ESCORT to every shoot, and ANY photographer who feel that they are ABOVE shooting a Model who feels they need an escort should get a Grip on reality!

I know of 2 cases(one on each coast, on in Pa fairly recently) where a Model was KILLed by her Photographer!! They were not some GWC, but established Photographers.

I have shot models with and without accompanying escorts, and I never had any problems with an escort being in the way.

a Models Safety is first, and any photographer's EGO who is too frail to deal with an ESCORT shouldn't be doing this!

2 cases of misfortune out of the thousands of photoshoots that happen each month. And, might I add the Linda Sobek case had nothing to do with internet modeling sites such as this.

I do not allow escorts on paying shoots. Ever. I used to allow them. But 3 bad experiences in a row and never will I allow them again. TFP's the model can bring whoever she wants. If her escort screws up the shoot, she's gonna be the one with the bad pictures.

For me, it's not an ego thing. It's a productivity thing.

You know after thinking about this more. If you are taking bondage type photos where you will be tied up you may want to REALLy think about what type of position that puts you in. Key word: Tied Up.

I'm not sure if it's the sweat. My guess is that they usually stink because they haven't taken a shower in 2 weeks.

Happens with Meth as well. Sacramento used to be the Meth capitol of the world until I believe Houston took over recently. There used to be a running joke that if you wanted to find a Meth fiend make them smile. Or something like that.

This is about a girl that feels bad about someone apparently trying to take advantage of her.  It wasn't the most coherent initial post, but the outrage was obvious.  No one's been very sympathetic and for my part in that I'm sorry.

To the initial poster:  This is how it is out here.  MM, like life, is what you make of it.  There are posers and idiots and geniuses and friends wherever you go.  Enjoy those who are good for you, and avoid the rest.  Have a better new year.

Which would really explain why so many of the models from Oroville who have contacted me in the past look so tired and old at as young as 18 and 19.I think there was only one who I said yes to working with because she didn`t have that look. Guess she was one of the smart ones.

This is one of those times I should probably be quiet but I'm very bored at the moment so I'm posting.

Cheryl: Just curious why you left a tag on this person's port saying "Nice Work wink" ?

You must have been impressed with his 3 landscapes and his one web cam shot?

I guess that was before he offended you by asking the personal question.

Why didn't you just contact a moderator and ask them to review his portfolio and tell them you thought his email was inappropriate instead of starting a thread about him?

I hope you're not suggesting that anyone who shoots TFP, model and photographer alike, are not serious and professional in what they do. You're painting a picture with a rather broad brush, in my opinion.
