I don't understand why people insist on coming on a networking site like this, and belittling each other, and just being plain mean!! Shouldn't we all just get along!? I don't care what you DO; Stylist, Model, Photography! Aren't we all here for the same thing pretty much??? Come on! Now if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all!!

I am tired of so many people in this industry who have these high and mighty attitudes, who treat people like crap, for no reason at all! You're not Kate Moss, and you're not Heidi Klum, so get over it, and stop treating people like s**t and get over yourselves!!

It doesn't matter how effin pretty you are, if you treat people like s**t, and your name is not Naomi Campbell, SHUT UP CAUSE NO ONE LIKES AN ARROGANT PERSON, MODEL OR NOT!!!

And I don't care if I get ripped apart for this post, if you're offended, it's because you probably one of these people!!

Come on now!! Do you really think that you're gonna get ALL paid assignments?!?! In your dreams! You're not Kate Moss, and you're not Heidi Klum, so get over it, and stop treating people like shit. There are way more 'newbies' who have way more potential, are much better looking, and could actually make it as a model (by this I mean be BIG TIME!)!! So get over yourselves!!

I pray, that you don't get ripped apart for your post. I agree with you to a certain extent..a lot of people seem to feel that experience and "pro, non-wannabeness" is reason enough for a holier than though attitude. Plus, most pro's having nothing to gain from this site so their attitudes won't disturb business. Better at your craft or not,more experience or not to quote my vader "the doctor shouldn't talk down to the nurse".

There's no harm when it comes to having pride in one's work, but when it crosses-which if FREQUENTLY does in our industry-, it becomes snobbery.

Usually the ones who gloat about the size of thier talent are the ones who are the most insecure about their place in this world.

Learn to love your fellow photographers and models and so on and so forth, because it's an ugly, mean world out there, and life isn't long enough to have a hatred for someone you share so much in common with, a passion that drives you to pick up the camera or strike a pose.

Tell us how you really feel, Krysta!  wink

You're dealing with a creative medium and, unfortunately, a ton of ego comes along for the ride.  Most of the time, rampant ego is sorely misplaced, but nothing is likely to change.  You know, this bullshit has been going on since the first early man put paint on a cave wall.  I'm sure he (or she) had a few critics in the tribe, too.

From your bio page. 

"I pride myself on being a normal, down-to-earth chick, just different in that I have an amazing talent."

No attitude there. You must be the newbie with the great looks that can do so much better than everyone else. Good job, it got me to look at your site.

Actually, I wasn't talking about myself. I was talking about some incredible talented newbies that recently took their profiles off this site because some people are just plain mean! Is it arrogant to take pride in my work and to know that I have talent? I think not! I would hope that every single person on this site can honestly say that they feel like they have talent!! But when that pride turns to mean-spiritedness and just plain cruel, I have to object! I treat everyone with dignity and respect, and just wish that others would do the same...
