To other models:
Feel free to message me about anything, I will try to live up to the "model mentor" icon above

This is site is full of great people and artists, but I have had one truly bad experience with a photographer on MM, thus:

-I do NOT recommend Duncan Hall #865174 (http://www.modelmayhem.com/865174), also goes by: Solve et Coagula  #2173753 (http://www.modelmayhem.com/2173753) or "Orfik" on fetlife
Feel free to message me for information.

And here's a warning about a longtime DC/VA area scammer who is still active:

On that note, working as a nudes model has been an an exciting and a very gratifying experience and I look forward to continuing on being able to work with, learn from and establish friendships with some of the wonderful people on this site.
