Seems that models who aren't celebrities are worried about us wasting our time to paste their head on a nude body. It's come up twice today in different threads. WTF? Is this really an issue? Or is it just more Model Mayhem stupidity that will soon make the ranks of most frequently discussed items like escorts and no-shows?

I'm becoming paranoid that there is a paranoia virus out there being dispensed via Prozac or dairy products or something.

Is fear the new black?

1,  John, while I don't disagree with your selection, a casual look at thread titles on this forum could give you plenty of other candidates.

2.  Regardless of the theme you choose, there will be a fair number of both models and photographers who chime in to support it.

If it wasn't so much work to really do properly, I'd probably join you on that!

The Bizarre reduced to verse.
Robert Frost as butchered by yours truly


Whose heads these are I think I know.
Their houses in reposession though;
They will not see me stopping here
To put this head on these or those.
My little mouse must think it queer
To drag onto this body here
Atop the chic with ripe round tits
and missing pubes where they should grow.
It gives its bluetoothed LED a twist
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of pervy tog and model flake.
These heads are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep

I do agree, however, that any model worried about such things is being illogical and dumb.

I'm keeping mine, but I have heard if you spend enough time with me it rubs off. However, I am blessed to have gotten mine naturally and for some reason don't really care if that were to happen, nor do i really think it would be worth the effort to paste someone elses naked body onto my already naked body. And, if they did, it would be for personal, nefarioous purposes and my head would be all pixelated anyway. As a photographer, it is just plain boring.

It's not my fault if the models existing body is not nice enough and I have to use a stunt body.
and I'm not sure why they would complain as it's clearly an upgrade.

It's like bitching about being upgraded from an Toyota to a Mercedes.
Sheeesh.... like why both trying to help!

I was speaking to a friend of mine years ago and joked that I was going to paste her head on another woman's nude body.

"Why? Isn't my body good enough?"

We wound up doing nude photos after that. They were excellent.

I've already had a couple models mention to me that they want some sort of prohibition against this in the release.  Is there somebody actually pasting heads from TFCD shoots onto nude bodies?  Is there seriously a lack of nude models out there?

Personally, I think this is just another tactic used by shady photographers to build their harem of models.  The "always bring a thug with you if you shoot with anybody but me" thing isn't working so well any more so now it's "don't let anybody else shoot you, all these other guys are cutting heads off and sticking them on nude bodies".

I'd also be willing to bet that this hasn't actually happened to any models, but they've heard some story about some guy doing it to some other model they met on a forum somewhere.

I think the photographers should come up with some paranoid BS of our own.  Maybe we can start spreading stories about models coming over and slipping drugs into our drinks, then when we wake up sometime later we find our studio cleaned out, the dog has been killed, and our hard drives formatted.  Or something like that.

Paranoia, it is the new black!

Don't forget the fluoride in our water. It's all good, the PTBs know that there is an asteroid heading towards Earth. Smackdown is in exactly 675 years. They are purposely evolving us at a higher rate so we can handle long periods of space travel. Damn, I've said too much.

Fear is the new black and insecurity is a nice little clutch purse.

It's an odd form of egomania.. fake pics are all over the web, but they all have one thing in common- they're of CELEBRITIES. People don't take random unknown models and work for hours sticking their heads on nude bodies.. what possible reason could they have, when there's an infinite number of actual ready-made nudes out there?
