Oh yeah I already get the "I don't you parading around and having some guy take pictures of you in your underwear!" Meh, one step at a time I guess LOL

I had a bf that was like that, except I wasn't modeling at the time because he said it would make him ashamed (he turned out to be a nut), LOL. My husband and I joke around a lot so he always says "I love my slutty wife who takes her clothes of for strange men". I'm still getting used to him being so freakishly open minded about a lot of things.

Yeah but was he sitting in his car stalking yous in the hotel parking lot drinking a gallon of coffee with a baby monitor in the models bag?

Yeah he is. And he doesn't care it's different because I'm his woman :eyeroll:

I think it's called Psychological Projection.

He started out as a nut. It just takes a while to admit it to ourselves.

I've helped models select which underwear to put on after I've photographed them nude.   

For some reason that sounds so 'dirty'!

I used to bring an escort, not because I'm afraid of photographers or any of that nonsense - just purely because I have no sense of direction and driving to and in LA for me is similar to how the main character in the movie Labarynth probably feels trying to find whatever it was she was looking for.

Anywhoo, it made people uncomfortable so I said f* it, I will check references and leave super early for when I inevitably get lost. And BAM, number of photographers willing to work with me increased by 90%.

Garmin is the best escort.

This. Not to mention the fact that EVERY smartphone has GPS.

new guy here again,,
why is getting droped off consider bringing an escort???
does that mean the few times my car/truck was in the shop and I was dropped off then picked up at the end of the day
that my "mommie",,brother,, wife  or one of the guys from work that gave me a ride were my "escorts"

This is a driver.

Nah, this one was a sleeper cell. Legitimately normal, until we were about 6 months into the relationship, then he went batshit.

Nice portfolio (really like the portrait closeup).  Very attractive young woman.
Nice profile.  Professional.  Shows personality and fun side.  Well established limits and boundaries.
Boyfriend exhibiting controlling tendencies.  Good job on cutting the escort cord.  You may want to dwell deeper into "why this boyfriend". 
Good luck with your pursuit.

Thank you darlin

Sadly, even with my smartphone and/or GPS I will get lost in LA. Too many people, too many streets. It's all good though, I just leave a lil' earlier so no one is uncomfortable and my poor driver doesn't have to get lost for a few hours. It's a win.

I was just referring back to this old thread to find something to quote in another thread - and there it was.

                 Llama!

A couple of months ago I re-read a couple of threads that I had participated in, and in every case, the word "llama" appeared in place of "model" in my posts in those thread. I thought maybe I was sleep-deprived when I wrote it.

What gives?

Llamas are people too.

Lily,
The courage to be honest in your thread is admirable. Could I ask you out of interest, since now you have taken your waterwings off:

Did you ever tell a photographer that the escort was necessary for safety/security?

Did you ever feel it was necessary to have your boyfriend come to your work?

Why did you stop bringing your boyfriend to shoots?

Whose idea was it in the first place to have you escorted?

Not to worry. I have it on good authority that both are alive and well.

actually the word replacement did happen. I'm pretty sure it was part of the April Fool's joke but for a while they had a script that would replace model with llama.
fortunately no one posted llama spreads, just implieds

Yup Zombie thread - but kinda sad that shortly after all the good stuff she seems to have deleted her account.

Her account was open yesterday evening.

That's good to hear but far from being over with for sure, sounds like he has serious trust issues or is insecure as hell. Be prepared for the grilling about what you shot with him not around.

---Hate to be pessimistic, but I agree. Sometimes when men feel like they are being disrespected or made powerless in a relationship they'll go find another girl to make themselves feel better.
"Backing off" is way far from feeling good about a situation. You have to either really talk this through, or accept that the relationship isn't going to survive.

Ownership???  WTF!!!  If he has problems with your modeling now, there certainly will be other insecurities cropping up in your relationship later.  Dump the jerk!
