You're definitely pretty, but you're also definitely not a model.

Those are lovely glamor shots, and you are quite lovely yourself, but they look more like promotional pictures or head shots taken for an actress than pictures of a model, I think the poses are just too...I guess soft would be the word, it looks like you were kind of told what to do and shots were snapped instead of you striking poses and really commanding the scene.

Two unemotional ones to make up for the smirk in the next post:


I had my hair in a ponytail for the second one.

My friend Abbie and I got bored, so she stole my phone and took pictures of herself:

Your glamour shots look good, but the other ones are very mediocre, for modeling anyway. Also, your hair looks really stiff, which detracts from the beauty.

As for Solumina: models typically don't "command" the scene until they've had a lot of experience. In the beginning they are generally instructed on how to pose. Also, many photographers want their shots to look a certain way, in which they'll instruct the model on what they're looking for and how to achieve it. Even on America's Next Top Model the models are constantly being told what to do and how to look. It's up to the model to take these instructions and fill in the gaps.

Once again, you're pretty, but you're not a model.

The photo shoots that they do on ANTM are actually quite different from what you would encounter at a typical shoot, also I want to clarify that I don't mean that models take charge of the shoot but that they are going to command the focus, if you compiled a model's shots with other photos that model should still pull focus or else she has no real business being a model.

Your hair is fucking awesome Maggot.

Sek - I disagree with Ophelia. And I think the tattoo looks great.

Well, today was the last day I saw my pretty girl. She's gonna come next month, but fuck, I'm going to miss her for now.
We did take some pictures first, though.
Isn't she pretty?
She didn't like this picture. I, for obvious reasons, did.
One the other hand, she liked this one and I didn't.
And by the way, that's how a mohawk looks after six months without being used. I need something different. It looks awful
