Whew this thread has gotten crazy while I was sleeping. I never indended to start trouble and I absolutely never thought this thread would get to 11 pages. I wish I had a way of locking it now because I think we all can agree not much has been accomplished.

1. I am in fact 17 and if someone doesn't think I am, thats ok with me.
2. I am American, I moved to Paris two days ago.
3. Maybe my boobs are saggy, maybe not. What I do know is that the picture in question is one of me hunching forward and swinging around quickly. Guess that's what happens with 34D's.
4. I think everyone here agrees that the industry can be very blatantly honest about one's appearance and sometimes it hurts. This is how it is and I wouldn't attempt modeling if I couldn't handle it. However, I will not take random comments from strange men online without standing up for myself. If I had heard the same thing from an agent, I'd be ecstatic that they hadn't said something worse.
5. How did this become a thread about veterans and war? In any case, I'll give a big thank you to all the veterans out there in general.

Finally,
Thank you to everyone who has been so kind! It's nice being reassured my boobs aren't awful.

Take pleasure in knowing that even at the tender age of 17, you have shown yourself to be far more professional and mature then the one offending you. And without a doubt, you have a much better grasp of reality and a better sense of propriety.

You're 17 and in Paris. Life is good. Enjoy.

I'll end it with the photog's final prive message to me:

"Read the post you started. How have I made assumptions on your character? You are very aggressive and have a terrible attitude.

Now read your post and find that I have brought myself out because I never intended to attack you or have done anything with malicious intent.

Grow up little child."


Oh well, everyone needs to get their kicks somehow. I don't think we need another 11 pages to discuss how strange this all is.

Somehow, I doubt this will be the final message. You can make it a final message by blocking him.

I like your attitude.

I never did, but I understand that in similar situations, some of my comrades in arms were less restrained.  Nobody every did anything more physical than that to me.


I don't want to make my personal experience out to be anything unusual.  It wasn't.  That was just the way the military members were looked at and treated by a large subset of our population in those days.

At least in that respect we have grown as a nation.  We now seem able to distinguish between the policy makers who direct wars and those who follow orders in executing them.  For which I am very grateful.

I'd like you to know that treatment is a lot better now.  A friend of mine came back from Iraq, an AF officer, and 50 of us showed up at the airport to welcome him.  To put it mildly he was quite surprized.

If you look at what he wrote and at what you wrote, it is not hard to see who the immature one is. Could be why he has not worked with many models., or ever will if they read this thread.

Good luck and much success,
