Never change a running system! 🤫

Nice pictures but definitely not 15$ nice in my opinion. I always compare it to actual magazines. Maxim,FHM and Playboy, none of them were 15$ and they were monthly and had more than just one model (although less pictures of each one). Digital Distribution costs nothing, and aside from MAYBE a photographer (although these days you don't even need one of them, if you look at some of the Rachel Cook Selfie Stuff in Wtvr...) you have little to no cost to make such a "Magazine" which is basically a small photoset. Should she (and the other models) be compensated? Sure, it's how they make a living. But unless you're a superfan you're not gonna shell out that kind of money for 10-20 pictures, especially with the economy the way it is at the moment in a lot of places. Just my 2 cents.

More like a cult leader, somebody exploiting an insecure attractive young woman for her body and money.

People leaked/shared the content she charges money for, so it was money out of her pocket. I understand that it's a problem for her, but at the same time people need to adapt. Anyway, don't want to derail the topic too much.

And don't forget Genevieve Morton who complained in her thread about the pictures being shared. (And Michelle Schlaman recently too)

Check the description of the video, there is literally a list of the people being featured.

I was pretty meh about the short hair at first, but it grew on me, it's a 1000% better than those weird wigs.

Thanks Vas.

Is it just me, or does she barely seem to put out content these days? I mean sure, the lockdown put a damper on things but even before that it seemed like it tapered off a lot? Or does she do a lot of updates on her person website?

I don't see the problem, especially as you said "if she doesn't have to". I mean for a lot of models IG opened a whole new world, you don't need a classic agency or contracts with certain brands. They can find their own work, they are essentially independent contractors and pick and choose who they work with if the brand is itnerested. Would you want to work for VS if they stipulated your meal plan, your work out plan, your travel plan, what you have to do in terms of interviews and marketing if you could earn the same amount by being freelance? Both has upsides and downsides.

Yeah, or she just doesn't like the idea of a boss and having to have responsibilities and being told what to do. VS Models seem to have very rigorous schedules and lives, after all they are contract employees who can't just go somewhere and don't make their own appointments. She seems to be pretty flighty and free spirited. So she might just not work for them in terms of her personality.

Whoever she asks I presume. Doubt it's difficult for her to find willing photographers (or roommates for that matter)

Define active? She posted on IG 3 hours ago. Travel Restrictions and everything else going on it seems like that Models&Agencies probably had a lot of work canceled since they aren't essential workers.

You know you don't need to quote nearly 80 thumbnails to make a comment like that...? 😛

Probably not his decision...*cough cough* 😀

She said she's been dating the same guy since she's 16 (mentioned it in a Youtube Vlog), there were some pictures of her with a blonde guy at the beach but that's the only time I recall. Maybe somebody knows more.

Looking at the comments underneath her post with all the way people are just going "omg you were right. you're great and perfect" I wouldn'T be suprised if the person running the BPW account just got a hatestorm directed their way and decided to just disappear. And I agree, without any context it's hard to say who was right. It might have been as harmless as "This outfit doesn't suit you/I don't think you look good with that hair" it doesn't make sense to me that a "fanpage" would outright spew hate at the person they are following. Yeah style/wardrobe critique makes sense, but beyond that? I don't know.

At least his reputation is better than Terry's lol

Isn't that the case with 90% of of more well known photographers that they all have their own "style" of shooting where you can recognize them by the composition?

Which is pretty logical because sponsors pay big money to be featured in games. If everybody could just promote their stuff it would be a free for all.

That's a praise worthy post. Props.

As you said "Different Levels of Nudity" it's all the same thing. The spoiler tag says "Nudity" not "FULL FRONTAL!!" so nothing dishonest about it. Anyway. Just saying. It's a model forum with a diverse audience and level of what people consider appropriate to post publicly so airing on the side of caution makes sense.

Forum Rules I imagine. Just because people are supposedly disappointed that it isn't outright graphic nudity doesn't mean it's labeled wrong...

She was introduced as "The first ever non nude playboy cover model" it was a really cringe-worthy overall.

Merci Pinguoin!
