Ok...hmmm...whatever, math never was one of my strong points!  LOL

If math was my strong point, I wouldn't have become a model.

You said retarded. OMG. That is so funny. And in some cases true.

I would say that people who create false tearsheets do so without the intention of trying to pass it as real, but more so to showcase how they can see their own work as a professional commercial piece. I've seen some good ones. And I generally don't have a problem with that as long as there is the disclaimer that it is NOT in fact real.

Maybe I'm just too nice and choose to believe the innocence in people......

You are too sweet Dawn.

People are known to pass it as real, some do it to promote "workshops".  I hate those people.  It's deceiving, dishonest...and the moment they show up, you know they have little to offer; but many have been suckered into these.

There was a huge mess down here about a year or a year and a half ago ( Miami ) with that.. A couple who were married.. a female model and a male photographer.. were caught faking tears.. She had a couple of Elle and Glamour tears shot by her husband.

They no longer live in Miami LOL.

That is big everywhere.  However in Miami, I see tons of models with tearsheets for magazines that don't even exist.  I think that is just as bad.

Ill add to it by asking what about photographers that have snapped supermodels in the street and have a pic of them in their portfolio as if they worked together.  I mean you can tell that the girl was snapped coming out of her agency and clearly couldn't be bothered!

Man.. that's pretty cheap and edgy lol

So, how many people on here do you suppose really do have magazine covers?

I know a few photographers who get covers on a regular basis...

Well.. they were the only case I know of down here.. And the girls u are talking about where do u see their fake tears ??

Huge diff between agency girls and net girls.. The example I gave was for a working agency model ( with about 7 yrs experience ) and a pretty known photographer... who worked with all agencies and magazines. Im not talking about online based ppl... for that i have a lot of cases of clowns.. LOL

the trademarks and tradenames are being infringed on. it is not only deceptive, but illegal. but this is the internet where all manner of phoneybaloney is encouraged and anyone who finds fault is seen as a quaint throwback to some yesteryear. lets face it, as a society we are just morally bereft.

"morally bereft"....good one!
