Nov 14 06 11:12 am Link Yes I can. Any model want to try? Nov 14 06 11:16 am Link How do you teach something that is already there? Everybody is sexy. Its just a matter of eliminating the inhibitions.  Nov 14 06 11:18 am Link Mark Reese Photography wrote: Trust me, I didn't miss it. I just couldn't resist. Sorry. :-) Nov 14 06 11:54 am Link Nora_Neko wrote: Oh, being beautiful helps, but frankly there are people who are INCREDIBLY sexy who are not that beautiful, and there are many who are beautiful who are not terribly sexy. It's a state of mind, a state of being, and I think the only "teacher" is life itself.

Most of them give nod to the idea that some skills are more teachable than others. One of the most important skills/traits for leadership is, believe it or not, energy. This is widely considered one of the areas that can be least influenced in a person. But even this can be changed with better eating and exercise habits. Things like 'dependable' and 'organized' can be taught, and are easier that changing energy levels. I don't believe sexy is either on or off. Nor do I believe that it can be taught or it can't. It's not that simple. I also don't believe in one definition of sexy because of the wide variety of uses of the word sexy. Sexy can mean so many things depending on the context. It can be physical, emotional, instinctual, and/or sometimes intellectual in nature. Having come from another profession, one thing that I learned is that having 'it' is something that those that have been around for a while can see but can't necessarily define. It isn't usually definable. And no offence to the newbies (of which I am one) I am still just basically a tourist and probably haven't been around long enough to identify 'it' in the modeling and photography professions. Ask me about information security and I can tell you though. They say most experts in any field take about 10 years to become experts. Please note: this doesn't mean that everyone, or even most, will be experts after 10 years. It just means that those that are took 10 years to get there. This could be why those in the 25-30 age range are "better at being sexy." The age of 15 is when sexy probably starts to become a consideration for girls. Those that didn't start to try to be sexy until 25 still have 10 more years to make an attempt at being 'sexy' experts. Nov 14 06 01:23 pm Link Sexy isn't learned... it's a lifestyle! Nov 14 06 05:13 pm Link Yes you can. But its easier to teach sensuality in expression and sexy in poses.

Nov 15 06 04:05 am Link yep- I tell them to give me a "man-eater" look. Usually they laugh and then get a little more serious in the eyes- most of the time it helps a lot... though there really are some women who just can't give a sexy look Nov 15 06 04:13 am Link If you're sexy and you know it clap your hands!! *clap clap* Sexy is innate.. sexy is not acting. You have to feel it, and want to get into the camera and make love to it! I think I can show my sexy side well, check out the pic on my profile page and let me know what you think! xox Mmadaline Nov 15 06 04:15 am Link lol silly typos. "xoxoxo Madaline" that's better. ;o) Nov 15 06 04:15 am Link FemmeArt wrote: i seem to get a lot of comments that i am sexy.....i also notice that their are models who do not pull it off when it seems as though their trying. i think it is intrinsic.. but can probably be learned as well. my 2 cents! Nov 15 06 04:20 am Link so how many yeses and no many nos? anyone tally up? Nov 15 06 04:27 am Link FemmeArt wrote: Absolutely! I have some models, like Rion (MM # 94691) who can effortlessly pull of any look I need from them from Sexy to Hysterically funny. I have had other models though, who I have to work with endlessly on any expression. It is not, unfortunately, just stand there and look pretty.
