^ Not all photographic modelling is nude and workig with unpleasant photographic crew members isn't the same as drunk, unpleasant strangers ogling her and touching her. If she is stunningly beautiful, the pay should be good.

I've worked with many a stunningly beautiful stripper. Some also modeled, some did not. Not everyone has the tempermant and symetry to model. Me, I am lucky I was able to be a stripper, haha. Even though I did some modeling in my life, it wasn't major modeling.
Why must a stunningly beautiful woman have to be a model? I've known some that would never ever work in a beauty based industry...note a business school friend of mine. Not a runway model type because she wasn't tall, but had Victoria Secret model looks...prefered to focus on businss and family. WTF?
Thank god for good lighting in strip clubs. God know what my custies would have done if they knew I wasn't a stunning beauty?
Am I making any sense? I am drunk.
^I didn't say stunningly beautiful girls have to use their beauty to make money, just that there are easier ways to use it. I would hope that the number of beautiful women on the planet is not limited to the number demanded in beauty-based industries.
Not all photo models are beautiful either. Very often it is the make-up, styling, lighting etc which make them appear beautiful.
Of course many stunningly beautiful women have other talents and callings beside beauty.
The comment I made was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but I think there's quite a bit of truth to my statement. How many beautiful women 1) try to make money off of their looks and 2) actually make money off of their looks? I personally don't know any models at my college, even though there are tons of beautiful women there.
Not to mention the fact that I talk to women all of the time who have slept with half of the frat boys on campus, not realizing they could make money off of doing much less than that.
That was my only point. Obviously, stripping entails a great deal of effort that most people wouldn't be willing to deal with. There's a reason this job pays well, and that's because (relatively) not many people want to do it. I thank goodness every day that stunningly beautiful women are too proud, naive, and sometimes lazy to do this job.
And yet, ironically, I know many semi-attractive strippers who pull much more money than the stunningly beautiful ones. One of the things I love most about this industry. Beauty can only take you so far...
I model. And I'm stunningly beautiful. AND I dance. What now, biatches? :D
Dancing fills the time between photo/video shoots, so yeah some models do dance. Oh, and I just like being naked, and would prefer to work in the adult industry as opposed to the fashion industry, which I'm too short and alternative for anyway. Plus, being a huge supporter of the fetish scene, of course that's what I'm going to model!
Ugh if I'm rambling it's cause I'm heavily medicated. Please to forgive!
I still don't understand what was "stripperesque" about the fucking tattoo.
Ugh when I type that word I want to shoot myself in the face.
^Yeah I don't get it either. I would probably pee my pants or choke to death on my own laughter if anyone called my lower back tattoo "stripperesque", let alone any of my others.
I thought the "tattoos are for sailors and whores" thing went out like 30 years ago? No?
When it comes to photography, natural beauty is not as important as what the photographer can do with the woman's features to make her look beautiful in the picture. With make-up, lighting, angles etc. the photographer can hide or accentuate indivudual natural features of the model. To me models (like film and music stars) are often unrecongisable in candid shots. Natural beauty is not photographic beauty. Cameras don't tell the truth. They are more limited than our eyes.
That's what I was getting at. Most women don't like stripping. It goes against natural female instincts and desires. Stripping is for men.Quote:

What takes them the rest of the way? Hustling?Quote:

^^ She means couture or runway fashion.
Yes, high fashion models must be over 5'7. I am 5'4. Of course, in stripper shoes I'm 6 ft even! :D
I should have used the word "stripper chic", instead. I didn't mean for my comment to come across as derogatory in any way. Clearly, music videos and movies have created a "stripper chic" style in shoes, fashion and tattooing.
In Houston, for the most part, I've only seen dancers with large tattoos on their legs (with the exception of goth and alternative-type girls). "Regular" girls have small and inconspicuous tattoos, if any.
The salsa dancer I was referring to was not a goth nor alternative (so, by process of elimination...).
Also, my comment was referring to girls in Houston. I realize that its different in Austin, Las Vegas, New Orleans and other places...
Incredible logic.
^Elementary, Watson. LOL
My four-year philosophy undergrad has paid off!
Propositional Calculus / Deductive Logic:
A must equal one of B or C or D
If A does not equal B, and A does not equal C, then A must equal D
Should we let Jack in on the other 22 letters out there? No? Okay.
I know plenty of women who have tattoos, even large ones that aren't strippers nor are they goth or alternative. Tattoos are so commonplace these days even 'girls next door' and sorority types have them, some of which can be larger. In my opinion small tattoos look like shit anyway and most artists refuse to do tiny ones because they age horribly and the details get lost when the ink eventually starts to spread. Artists are usually pretty outspoken about not doing pieces smaller than they are supposed to be for the amount of detail involved. So pretty much anyone can have a large-ish tattoo.
^This. I don't look alternative, or gothy, and I strip a few times a year - which started AFTER I got my huuuuge tattoos.
OH NO, I'M NOT B, C, OR D! Someone hold me, I'm having an identity crisis. Where's Mediocrity when I need her? *Sniffle!*
Haha yeah... I got all my large tats before I started dancing. Of course, I AM alternative. But plenty of non-alternative women have tattoos... there's a blogger who is an attorney, very 'normal' looking business woman... who has a full body suit under her clothes. Looks can be deceiving, and don''t get me started on assuming...
^It's okay, we can mourn our maligned status as badasses together.
*weep* Huu. It's a hard life.
Okay, I can admit I'm wrong here --- we'll add D - Badass...
Biker chicks --- would that be an E, or would that be included in B (alternative)?
I'll add F - rock star - other than B (alternative).
I'll add G - got drunk and did it.
So, as not to hurt anyone else's feeling, I'll add H - miscellaneous/none of the above.
Okay, I've made amends - This should restore the love...
