Browsing around, landed on a model's portfolio, read "I'm very open minded and interested in any crazy ideas you might have. ... I'm not interested in any nude, artistic nude, implied, lingerie, or fetish, so don't bother asking."

"Hmm," I thought, "what's left?" (yeah, I know, fashion, that's what real models do).

Went on browsing, clicked on a photographer's portfolio, read "My rates are very reasonable (trade/barter/$$$) ... **NO LONGER ACCEPTING TFP/CD** ... **DO NOT CONTACT ME LOOKING FOR PAID WORK!!!**."

"Hmm," I thought, "what's left?" (yeah, I know, models pay me, that's how real photographers work).

Wouldn't it be easier (and friendlier in tone, not to mention less confusing) to say what you do do instead of all the things you don't do?

personally, I find this an easier way to approach life in general.  you know, accentuate the positive, the glass is half full, etc.

it really is much more satisfying, but only if one is able to ignore the childish rants of those who don't get it.

Ok, in that case:

Yes but that'd be way too easy.. and some like to make things difficult. And I think a real model or photog knows that the unglamourous (read free or not mainstream) stuff is often the start at getting your foot in the door of getting paid and getting 'fashion' contracts. Unless you don't want any of that, of course.
