The guy on page three has some pretty innocent looking photos there.  A couple may not be in the best taste, but they do not cross the line, imho.  Do you know how old the model is?  I don't.



Any model on MM, regardless of age, who gets propositioned by another MM member for anything sexual in nature should contact the moderators immediately.  It is a violation of MM rules, not to mention being a type of behaviour unwelcome here - rules or no rules.  Although a few may do as you said, they are in the minority here.  I stand by my statement.  Myspace and the teen chat rooms is a richer hunting ground for those types of predators.  That's why the police set up their sting operations there instead of on MM.

Edit:  Maybe the cops should set up a phony model portfolio here and clear out some of the rubbish for Tyler.

What makes you think there are no cops here? Think again my friend!

I'm quite certain that there are amateur photographers on here who are police officers in their day job, just as there are doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, and probably even a used car salesman or two.

Whether or not there is a sting operation in place, I don't know.  To be an effective sting, no one but the officers involved would know.  Personally, I hope there is one.  I just wish they could set up a sting to clear out some of the GWC creeps too.

Actually, I think your avatar is closer than the one you posted....

I meant to mention earlier: If you haven't read the book ("Lolita") and this thread inspires you to, take the trouble to find a copy of Alfred Appel Jr.'s "The Annotated Lolita."  My copy is a 1970 McGraw Hill paperback edition. It may be out of print, but any major library system should be able to get you a copy by inter-library loan, if it's not in the library you go to. The Appel commentary puts many of the issues people are discussing here into a broader context. A really good read.

It's been over 30 years since I read Lolita.  This thread has tempted me to reread it, if for no other reason than to be able to debate from a clearer memory of the subject.

I'm not into imagining kids in this way,  unless it's purely theatrical, and explores the passage into adulthood. To me the best looking "Lolita" by far is Liv Tyler in Stealing Beauty, and at least she almost looks old enough to be legal. Probably was?

The character of Lucy was 19 in the movie.  Liv Tyler was 19 at the time.

awwww, thank you  Yes, I know it is not really Lolita that's why I said if it was Lolita-esque . I didn't shoot that with a Lolita concept in mind. Perhaps I will undertake that project in the future A challenge for sure!

Actually, this image from StudioMona is quite superb, technically and artistically.

I disagree. There is name involved Lolita and this is for reason. There are bunch of young girls nowdays showing not just skin but everything you can ever imagine and it doesn't touch bit of your soul or feelings.

Lolita is that special personality of a young girl who is yet very young, sensual (not vulgar or "I show you everything" type at all!)  but already very seductive. I think most everybody have met this type in their lives. For me it was one of my classmates. I didn't realize it back then, just had a feeling she was different. Not untill 18sh I read Nabokov's book and it hit me: "It was her!".

It's very rare and special gift or talent to be seductive the way Lolita is

Someone contacted Laia about this topic, saying they thought of her esp. in the context quoted above.

Sorry, but I forgot to add the photos the first time because I had to run out the door.









Laia took those photos above in 2004, when she was 15.  She is 17 now.

I think I took one by accident once.  I was shooting a girl's 10th birthday party and all her friends were dressed up and we did cute shots of the group and the individual girls for their parents.  Everything was innocent, but when I looked through the pictures, there was one girl who had so much ..."knowing" (for lack of a better word)...in her eyes, that even though on the surface it was a totally decent portrait of a little girl, I felt like I was looking at child porn.  It freaked me the hell out.

not exactlty the kind of lolita you were describibing.

Thank you - somebody who posted some Gothic Lolita!  I hate having the name of my favorite fashion being associated with the Lolita talked about in this thread but, there isn't a lot we can do about it.  Thanks for posting your lovely image!

Yay!! More Japanese Lolita fashion.  I had hoped to see more of this when the thread was posted!

I caught hell over this icecream shot.

These were shot as she was yelling over to her mom after she just did summersaults for about 50 yards straight and later adjusting her ponytail. A lot of people read a lot more into these images.

Here is one of my personal favorites from the shoot

I agree.. A lot of people will read a lot more to these type of images... I grew up in a large family and my folks have lots of pictures like that. My sister was a cheerleader and my 4 brothers all played sports from a very young age.. Nice pictures..

Thanks. I still can`t see why I got hell from people over the icecream shot. The things the people read into it -shakes head in disbelief-

I have a couple others I will be posting once I find them. The two girls are Russian and sisters.
