It felt like living in a tunnel!  The kid with cancer is on the cure, the wife did well with the heart cath, and no problems there, and I am just tired...

And look at the bright side, the good thing about hitting bottom is there is only one way to go man, and that is UP!

Savvy comes in on occasion and posts an image to show someone she found on MM who is a "Mature" Model. She does this instead of posting her own images and without permission of the model or photographer.

She also does it in the 40+ thread.

oh well....

Yeah for us mature models who still look fabulous!  But I have to say it is frustrating to have some really talented photographers that I would love to shoot with who only want to shoot young models.  And as far as us showing it all...I believe that if you have it and are comfortable with it than that is your decision.  I personally dont do nude, but some women can, and I also feel it is all in how you want to market yourself and what image you want to portray.

almost 40 and fabulous!

Shar,

Welcome Mayhem and to the Mature Model thread.. Feel free to come back frequently and post often... You will find that there are many of us here that not only shoot Mature Models, but some of us ONLY shoot with Mature Models.

You have some very nice images in your portfolio here on MM...

Again, welcome and come back often.

I saw a port yesterday.  She was 50.  OMG, she looked like she stole the ass of a 25 year old!  God Bless this woman! 

And at what age is deemed "mature".  Just wondering?

Patty, Welcome to the Mayhem and to the Mature Model thread. Your posted images are wonderful, and I could only wish you were closer as I would enjoy having you in front of my cameras.

Yes, there are some simply amazing and lovely models here that are in their 50's and even 60's. One Model I know on MM is 63, but looking at her you wouldnt think she is a day over 40 or 45 at the most. She is, or was until very recently as she just retired, was a college literature professor. She is absolutely beautiful.

Feel free to post frequently and come back often.

I was in Tarpon Springs, Florida this past March.  All I saw was a bunch of sponges.  Where were you?  Looks like I need to make another trip to FL.

Hey Tina,

You have some great shots in your portfolio - very natural looking, I love the ones of you in the hats - you really suit hats - but this is my favourite smile

(hoping I get the image posting right...)
