I posted a casting for artistic nude bondage. (I posted it here but I also posted it at CraigsList. The response was from CraigsList.)

I get a response:

"Im $MODELNAME I Am Interested In More Info About The
Shoot And Is There Pay (links to local model site and OMP portfolio.)"

I go to the portfolio and, while I see a lot of covered topless (arm over breasts while other hand suggestively pulls on panties, sort of thing) there are no nudes and this text in bio:

"I do not do nude so please don't ask."

I reply:

"Thank you for your inquiry. The shoot requires nudity and both of your portfolios explicitly say that you don't do nudity. I would be happy to send you more information but if you don't do nudity there is no point in proceeding further."

I get back:

"It Says On Ur Ad No Crotch Shots Tho I Would Like Mre
Info And How Much Are U Payin"

So, either "I do not do nude so please don't ask" really means "... unless there is money involved," or "nude" really means "Crotch Shots." Either way, I'm confused.

She is cute, though, so what the Hell, I'll take a flyer.

My guess is the first one was a cut + paste job and the second was her typing a reply.  Short hand is linguistic heresy.  ...It makes me sad. 

Yeah, that's a little weird though..talk about blurring the line.

I personally only do nude work if the photographer promises to let me sing and dance during the whole shoot.

otherwise, i absolutely never do nude!

Im sort of just responding to the way the model typed and I do agree with what someone else said above, she may have had a stroke between emails. Haha. How sad. I take a lot of time to sit and write nice, professional, detailed emails to models and usually get one-line responses back, unsigned and typed like the above example. I cant say thank you enough to all of the women and men I have worked with who contact me or respond to me in an intelligent and professional way. It makes the whole thing run so smooth and things get DONE. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

My two cents.

Her response makes me feel less of an idiot...

But since I am kinda stupid I would have to say she might of thought by showing her boob that it wouldn't be considered naked, but her Vagina monkey would mean naked... but what ever I'm talking about makes as much sence as what she was talking about big_smile

You can't find a serious bondage model anywhere in Illinois?  You might want to try a little harder before wasting another second on this potential landmine.

I have no problem with 'Crotch Shots'
I will do them for free for the best photgraphers (so long as you TRY to type properly) ...But the singing and dancing costs extra.
A lot more.

And
I WON'T do ''pulling on the panties with teasing smiles ... for ALL THE TEA IN CHINA!

did any of you guys notice she was only capitalizing the first letter of each word? that seems more like she was typing in all caps and a filter changed it. i see that a lot on other forums.

but aside from that, it's still terrible

Heh heh!

...but Mavis Beacon would only teach her to type what she wrote faster, and using all fingers...

Yeah, she might just mean "no crotch shots" in her profile, but as the singing and dancing model indicated - some people are willing to bend their boundaries, if a particular project interests them smile

However, cute or not, it seems like the OP may have some communication issues in setting up the shoot with her anyway, with the automated way she writes...

I don't get it either. at first I thought people were just lazy (I sometimes get lazy and use "u" "r" w/ b/c and things like that, but NEVER during a proper communication with someone, just with friends)...but I don't think they are. I don't know if they are actually a little slower than the rest, or think it's cute, or something like that...but I just don't get it. Someone should run a study on the phenomenon...I'm sure it's having a devistating effect on the grammar and lingustic capacities of kids today...sadly. As a information science MS student, I hate to say this, but the technology age is really sucking for numerous reasons...

That won't do any good unless it is also set up so that the only way she can get to the internet is to complete the course, repeatedly.
