Maybe there should be a streaking/be naked in public-clause in all contracts? If they can’t handle their neighbor looking at their tits, then they shouldn’t get naked online.
Plus, no newbie never gets naked for money. I’t not that good pay until you’re “somebody”.

But, seriously, I think at the top of the model release for every site, in bold letters, it should read “Check this box if you understand that being naked online has consequences such as family, friends, bosses, etc., can stumble upon these photos at any time.”

I love this site and think you do a great job, but that decision comes across as vindictive to me.

When a commercial site hires a model to do a job, they are hoping to be successful with what they create with that model. This job lasted four months. A whole site was created around what she was hired to do. A well designed and tasteful site too. That’s a lot of time and energy and money for people to invest in a project. If she gets paid a significant sum to do the job, and then turns around and tells people with high traffic blogs like APN and others that they should find it in their morality (or ‘morale’) to remove any promotion or mention of the site that hired her, that’s a serious violation of what she was hired to do. She is undermining and diminishing the value of what she was paid for. Why would she give the money back? Because she was claiming to have strong regrets about what she sold.

If, as a model, she lived to regret her choice, as some models do, and decided to pursue removing her image from the internet and renounced that kind of work, as some models do, it would be naive but understandable. However, according to comments here, she did exactly the same kind of work for SuicideGirls, etc. So, claims of immorality seem very selective.

– She was paid to pose and sign over the rights to the photos and video. She did that. So why on earth should she give the money back? She did exactly what she was paid to do; she is under no obligation to promote the site.

– She never said the site was “evil” or “immoral” so why does APN keep going on about that? The rant in the main post really has no relation to her situation.

– She isn’t asking them to take the pics down: she just asked you not to promote it. She didn’t even demand or whine about it. She made a polite request which you had no obligation to honor, and you politely honored it… only to go on this almost totally unrelated rant.

– the hostility toward someone saying that they did porn for money is also ridiculous. It’s also not insulting to people who do it for fun, that’s a stupid thing to say. It’s also stupid to say that your reasons for doing something are the only reasons people should do it.

– Also, anyone who thinks she had a lot of other economic options is living in a dream world. It is almost impossible for a pregnant woman to get hired, because employers do not want to invest in training someone who is going to go on maternity leave relatively soon. This is a fact of life and if you think it isn’t, you’re woefully uninformed.

I make it very clear to the girls I work with that everyone they never wanted to see them naked will see them naked. Their family, friends, everyone they went to high school with.. It’s all going to be out there to see so make sure you are ok with that. Somehow a few just do not grasp the choice and commitment they are making and then think that it is easy to take it back.

2nd, “I did it for the money” – I am sorry that this girl feels that she had to because of the kid coming and all, but getting some lame ass job, isnt impossible.. Hard maybe, but not impossible 🙂 For me, this is all about the fun of getting naked in front of the camera and being behind it and all the great stuff, that comes after shooting, talking to peeps and so on! THAT should be the main reason for doing it and not money, if you ask me!

3rd, I totally agree with Alex Chechs on this one; Saying that “this is my only option for income” really paints the other women who do this for money and fun really poorly.

Best of luck to her anyways and I hope, she figures it all out! 🙂

And, from what I can see, this girl’s stuff is all over the place.

And I agree with the “running your own site” idea. If you want control, just do it yourself… it’s so easy to do that now than it was say 5 years ago…

Anyone who is stupid enough to work with Suicide Girls and still then think that the world owes them something, will be surprised to realize that most of us are sick of most of those girls for that very reason, and the fact that ANYONE will work with them is a god send.
