To all the models: please be very careful where you go and with whom.  I assume that most of the people on this site are not dangerous but, you can never be too safe. It only takes one bad encounter for you to sustain some damage, or worse.

Please tell at least one person where you are going for a shoot, the address, location, and a phone number. The Internet is a fascinating virtual world, but some predators use it for ill purposes. So please be extremely careful, and error on the side of caution. If you ever have a bad feeling about a person or situation:

1. Listen to that!
2. Respect your gut feeling.
3. Get out of there.

Listening to that inner voice may save you from rape, assault, or even death. (I know it's alarming to consider, but it is a possibility).

Also: Your value as a human being has little to do with, the words, the photos, the eyes, or thoughts of other people.

Self-esteem comes from the self. You don't ever *have* to be an object for anyone else to appreciate.

And I don't do nudes...unless you pay me, lol.
