When a model states in her bio that she only accepts paid work because she quit her job?

Me: "Time to get naked."

Can't say I've ever seen that, but I sure would laugh at it if I did.

I'd say she's probably too young.

Naive, especially if her work isn't anything special.

What makes me really  irked is when a young wannabe model/ no experience!!  with just a few poor snapshots in her port---- even poor quality pics says she will accept   model offers for  "paid jobs" only---  OH yeah !!! who is she kidding, I would not even offer this newbie a test or tfp.& probably even decline a paid shoot offer.

Could be she is trying not to stand on the corner with a piece of card board that says
"will work for food"?

...sounds like Gold Forest material.
Hey, everyone needs a few Knoogie Klugies($)in their pocketbook and deserves pay for time for nudes.
So, she's under consideration in my world.

Definitely naked time.

I've seen it work, though, with some of the most unlikely people, so you never know.

I assume nudes or newbie.

I did a search and there is a woman, 19, in Morgantown, WV about three hours from me that says that.  She looks good, has no nudes, but has some lingerie and some girl-girl action in her portfolio.  I'm thinking she wants nudes.

I saw one of those before. I just shook my head while rolling my eyes and clicked the "back" button in my browser.

Ambitious? Dreamer? Big ego? What is it?

Funny..  Everyone agrees a thing's value is what you can convince people it's worth.. But when people try to create a market, everyone snickers..

I bet she gets paid and I don't..

More power to her.
