Aspiring models....

Always be careful with who you collab with. Make sure the photographer is legit and safe. Check their references and most importantly examine their body of work. Make sure his/her work is something you can actually use in your porfolio if you not getting paid for it.

Here is a prime example:



When I first started out, I didn't know the who, what, when, etc. etc. All I knew is that I wanted to be a Retro Pin-Up model and was thristy for anyone who would shoot my mixed ass in that genre.

A lot of people, yea I say people and not photographers, didn't want to do Retro Pin-Up with me. Some even had the nerve to say, "Pin-Up modeling is only for pale girls."

Anyway, my point is... This shitty photograph taken by this shitty photographer now haunts me because it is on http://www.nuclearwardrobe.com/pinup.html. I got an email (which I thought was junk mail) and viewed the slightly fimilar looking site. Then I remembered that I wanted to be on this site and applied like two years ago. I glad they they didn't forget about me but damn two years later, I really don't give two fucks anymore to be honest.

******

In other news... I'm just feeling like shady people are always finding me. When you try to help people out, they don't want it. When your living happily they don't try to make you happy, they complain about their lives until you become bitter with them so they can feel good. UGH!!!! Buzz off!!
