Based on the raw bikini shot I just posted, that's what I currently look like. Looking for figure critiques only, no portfolio or image critiques.

as this op stands on a toilet. I don't have a full length mirror, I had to. I posted a raw shot so you can see my body without filtering, but since it's against the rules I took it down. It is a nice toilet you have to admit.

However, standing steady on the toilet, well, that's an art 😁😁😁

I took down the photo to comply with the rules after you informed me the pic did not follow them. As you once again, ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING FURTHUR CONSTRUCTIVE IN THIS THREAD THAN YOU DO NO NEED TO BE HERE. This seems to be a terribly immature habit you have and you should know better at this point, but clearly you do not!

Nice figure, as far as I can tell.
Agree on shooting with better photographers.

I think your figure is great, and, for this simple request, the quality of the photo does not matter much.

I would say that you look fine, but from your portfolio, you need to get a greater variety of styles and shoot with some better photographers, IMHP.

You're looking in a mirror. You should be able to answer that question yourself.. But since you are looking for olthers to affirm. Yes you have a lovely figure.

Ms Mousseline,
If i come to LA will you shoot with me?
As far as critique, the quality of image you posted is so poor its hard to tell.
However from what I can see, you look in good shape.

It is beyond comprehension of any kind how the mods of this website continue to let the OP operate in these forums. I'd suggest the obvious as to why, but I'd probably be the one banned, not her.

Re. body critique; asking for opinions is fine but relying on them is a slippery slope. Different people like (and shoot) different body shapes. So long as *you* are happy with your figure, isn't that important?
PS Look up the video '1000 years of body shapes' or something to that effect on Youtube. Highlights what was considered the most beautiful in history.

Based on what I see in your portfolio now, you have a nice figure. But you live in an area with thousands of women with nice bodies, all competing for the same work. Sometimes you'll be right for a job. Lots of times you won't. Just don't let the rejections get to you.

Just to add fuel to the fire, it seems self-righteousness has seeped into this forum as well. If anyone wants to share a picture and that doesn't "conform" to the site rules, let the Mods take a call on that, and not self appointed guardians of propriety.
That said, I'm sorry the OP had to take her photo down, but, I personally really liked her figure. And the fact that she dared to be adventurous.

no selfies! ...anytime!!!! With greatest of respect, I think that you are mistaken.
As a gate-keeper, I am sure that you are fully aware of the total prohibition on selfies in a model's initial application, and the reason for this is to ensure that the model has worked with at least one photographer.
Once accepted to MM, a model is free to post images, provided that they conform with MM's guidelines, which are aimed mainly at eliminating the more explicitly sexual photos https://www.modelmayhem.com/help/rules/images

She's been here 2 years, Has started 90 threads on the forums (a large number of which are "how do I look?" threads), but only has 6 shoots (maybe less), and 2 selfies in her port, don't hold your breath.  (And nope, there's no rule that says she should have more shoots, she can have as few as she likes, I'm just saying, despite all her "activity", she isn't very active).

I went back and looked at the threads I started and many of them are critique threads about the way I look, and my look has changed quite a bit over the years so I ask for a fresh critique. Most of them are about things I'm thinking about or have happened to me.

In this very thread there's 2 ppl that wanna shoot with you. One you already said no to (giving some reason that's really none of your concern, if he wants to drive to you, that's his choice).
In 2 years, you couldn't come up with more shoots than that? Please. In my first year of photography, I had (wow, just counted...way more than I thought)... 112 shoots. My first X number of shoots, I had no idea at all what I was doing, and still had no trouble finding people to shoot with (in that first year, I paid 3, the rest were all TFP, and those 3 were top notch pros I felt I could learn from, and I did), and that's in a place that doesn't have models and photographers falling out of the woodwork like where you are.
And that's all in my spare time, I don't do this for a living. So there's zero chance in my mind that you have so few shoots for any other reason than "you don't want to". Competitive has nothing to do with it.
