Model Mayhem Rant

[inTempus]

You aren't missing a twin brother are you??? :heart:

I am! What did you do with him? You better not have hurt him!

Thank you for expressing your gratitude for my candor in the least creative of sarcastic ways.

You’re more than welcome. I do apologize for my lack of creativity as you so correctly pointed out. This was a hiccup, if you will, to my normal sarcastic interlopes. I have my ‘excuses’ for such a lame response, but from this day forward, I will proclaim to put forth a response that is worthy to such disingenuous ridicule.

You have inspired me sir, and I truely appreciate your counsel.

It's a community of photographers, models, make up artist, etc etc.

Each helping each other out by means of traded work, compensation, or other.

yup! Popularly knows as TFP. (Time for prints) The compensation is the exchange of pictures for each others portfolios.

oh thats pretty cool then.... i was going to post yesterday asking a question how you guys get models, are they friends of yours or you put up ads or something. Not that i'm anywhere close to being able to do that stuff now but I was just curious (i'm just practicing on family and friends for now) but thats cool something like that is available...

well at least i know where i can get a raggedy old midget... haha... j/k...i just thought it was a funny rant!

You obviously misinterpreted my response. There was no 'coming down to your level' involved whatsoever. If you can't see the irony that has taken place, then you obviously have to look at the face in the mirror and answer certain pertinent questions. By your own admission, those people that are fat, ugly, undesireable, shouldn't even consider themselves, lesser than desirable, not worthy of consideration, etc. This admission alone is worthy of notice. You sir, are a bigot. If you feel comfortable in your own skin, then fine and dandy. However, I would welcome you to a broader world where people are welcomed to be themselves.

You're supposed to be a model, and I see some midget looking, completely overweight

That's coming from someone who has an avatar like yours? :lmao:

 

[Iron Flatline]

I have had mixed results from MM - from ok to excellent, nothing bad. When I post a Casting Call for Berlin or Amsterdam I am drawing from a much smaller pool, obviously, and it is more professional. The bigger community here congregates at Model Kartei, which at first glance looks poorly organized but has a TON of good functionality - shoot rating, threaded image comments, Firefox and iPhone plug-ins...

Jackie, as Europeans we always smile at what passes as pornography in the US, by the way.

Anyway, one comment that made me laugh, because it has a strong kernel of truth to it: two of the girls said a few days ago that a lot of photographers spend a ton of money on the fanciest gear, and then want to skimp on models. If you want awesome images (and models that show up on time) spring for an experienced, professional model.

Thanks for that link InTempus, I will see how strong their European presence is.

huh? you mean like stuff is mild here compared to Europe?

 

[Iron Flatline]

No, actually I think real porn is just porn, but there are images on huge billboards and buses here that would NEVER be permitted in the US... soap ads for women lathering themselves topless, car calendars, etc... and subsequently a topless shoot in Germany doesn't even get mention as a Nude Shoot. The expectation of models, photographers, etc is different here.

The unfortunate result is people without skills shooting people who should keep their clothes on...

 

[Village Idiot]

That site is for photography? It's where I've been getting my dates from...
