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

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

Yes very mild from what i have seen, ive seen NSFW on here posted from people in the US and thought whats the problem

Is that a mustache? :lmao:

In the 3rd pic Caption Face she looks like Michael Jackson towards the end.

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...

oh ok... ya we kinda got that censorship thing over here... its becoming more and more lax though....well said though, and agreed... some of these "models" should keep their clothes on.. lol

LMAO!!! this has to be a joke... it has to be... it's too funny to be real... :lmao:

whats up with the vacuum picture??? and the christmas wreath????? It reminded me of "its my d*ck in a box..." from SNL.... lol!

 

[jackieclayton]

whats up with the vacuum picture???

oh wait... i get it...... at first i was like "is this some weird fetish thing for biggots who oppress women in household slavery?" but then it dawned on me... it's symbolizing a carpet muncher...

i can see the photographer now... :french accent: "ok, i'm looking for something raunchy but tasteful... PG13 but barely.... ok we're gonna use this vacuum cleaner... make love to the vacuum cleaner...."

Couldn't agree with you more. I'm on Model Mayhem every day and I'm always looking through people's profiles and quite often you find people on there who frankly really should not be modeling.

With that said, the site is in fact a great place to meet new models to help build your portfolio. Without the site I wouldn't be where I am right now.

When I looked at the profile picture, I though "these guys are assholes, she's not that ugly." . . . Lingerie model? Really . . . and the rest of the pictures . . . enough to turn anyone asexual.

 

[inTempus]

I love the "fjdklsajlkjfdskaljfdsakljfdslkajfdlskajfdlksajfdsal" in her profile information.



Of course the shot of her holding the vacuum cleaner was the clincher.

Thank you for your candor. Not many people will openly and publicly acknowledge their prejudices. This is truly a breath of fresh air.

Yeah, like, heaven forbid there be any sort of requirement for a MODEL to be a physically attractive person!

I have news for you people who think like this: there are pretty people in this world and there are ugly people. Fact. Get over it.

Perhaps I'm just a beautiful person for whom this is an easy claim?
*Looks in mirror*
yeeaaaaaaaa--no.

A model isn't just a person who is willing to have a camera jammed in front of their face, it's a person who is willing to do that but is also photogenic: someone who possess the trait of an attractive physical appearance. Sure, personality helps, but personality alone doesn't make anyone pretty in a photograph.

But nooooo, we can't go telling people that they're any less attractive than Bradjolina because we're so afraid of hurting their marshmellowy soft centers! Actually, people who are less-than-attractive but have always been told they are physically appealing are usually pretentious, self-absorbed pricks with whom nobody wants to be. You're doing no one any favours by telling people things about themselves that aren't true.

Anyway, thank-you for your time. You may now return to the land of peaches and unicorns.

P.S.: I don't even do model or portrait photography... I just have a decent grip on reality.

Are you thinking they need an 'ugly filter' ?

I always laughed at the term "uggo" when they used it in Scrubs

 

[jackieclayton]

there's people that know they are hot **** and truly are... and there are people who don't think they are hot **** and aren't anyway.. and then there are people who think they are hot **** when they aren't in any way hot ****.... and those are the people we are referring to. The ones that are so high and mighty on themselves when it seriously is either a sad cover up for their real feelings about themselves, or its about damn time someone served them some reality. I forget who made the analogy earlier on another thread... but these people that get on American Idol and can't sing worth a crap, and then they are crying and wondering why they got rejected.. are you seroius?? you suck, thats why!! these people that flaunt their "assets" on modeling portfolios and wonder why no one calls them back. That is wonderful that you think you are beautiful, more people need to have that self esteem. but there's also an INDUSTRY you're trying to make it in, that just isn't calling out for that kind of 'beauty.'

I would hope that any model that is trying to "make it" has some tough skin, because they are getting into a field where they are ONLY booked, judged, and paid based on their appearance. photographers and designers could care less if she's a good person on the inside, they want to know if she can wear the clothes and look good in a picture.

It's all about marketing... when your advertising your work you want the subject to be appealing and attractive so it grabs the most reader... thats why the industry is so cut-throat for its models to look perfect. you're right... Its kind of mean, but geez, know what you're getting into before you go getting your feelings hurt... thats the way it is. Some people were born to be a model, they are perfect and gorgeous and flawless and look wonderful in pictures. Others, aren't and were made to do something else in life. I think I can sing alright, but I would never dare to go in a competition because i know i'm not good enough. i know what kind of voice sells albums and gets recording labels...definitely not mine! the problem with some of these people is that they don't realize they aren't good enough and they don't know the industry and get pissy when someone tells them that. Then we are the mean ones when we don't hire them because they aren't what we think a model should be. This world doesn't function off of walking on eggshells in order to prevent hurting peoples feelings... this is why people that are blind dont fly combat jets for the military, why someone in a wheelchair isn't an olympic figure skater... and why skank fatties who show more back cleavage than boob cleavage aren't in fashion spreads.

Sorry for my vent... i just watched a documentary last week called "America the Beautiful" and they wanted to blame the industry that its fashion models and society that make women become bullemic and want plastic surgery to be perfect. It's not Tyra's or Calvin Klein's fault that when you look in a magazine and see an ad, you go throw up your food because you want to look that way. If you haven't figured out by now that crap is retouched and edited beyond anything else, and that SORRY, some people are better looking than you... its YOUR problem you need to get over. stop putting the blame of your problems onto something else and take responsibility for your own actions.

One good quote in the movie though: "there are two trees... do you like this one tree? what about this one over here? Is this tree more beautiful than that tree because they are different?" everyone is beautiful, but the tree on the left might work better for what an artist is trying to capture

 

[epp_b]

Oh, no, I wasn't angry, I just like ranting. Although, it sounds like you just reiterated my thoughts in greater detail, so I'm not sure why you're telling me to chill out

 

[jackieclayton]

lol...i went back and edited it because i was a dumbass and didn't read everything you wrote very thouroughly until after the fact... ooops!
