I finally, after quite a few years, had my 1st TFP Model Mayhem model actually show up for a photo shoot!!

I am now batting 1 in 11, thanks to a wonderful model: MikkiMarvel #1611087. (I won't go into how the other 10 models failed to show, because this is a positive thread).

The shoot was wonderful with Mikki posing beautifully! I shoot fine art nude reference photos for future fine art pastel paintings. I briefly took a look at the photos last night, and I definitely see some gorgeous paintings coming from our collaboration! Besides posing for art nudes, Mikki also specializes in latex fetish.

Mikki is a traveling model who messaged me out of the blue and I'm delighted that we both took the chance to work together.

If you have the time, go over to my profile page and look at the great TAG she left me!

So, cheers to traveling models, and a grateful artist thanks MikkiMarvel.

Look for a couple of paintings of her in my port in the near future!

Yes, Mikki, is an awesome model to work with. Very upbeat and never a flake and very professional and easy to get along with; highly recommend as well.

Worked with her earlier this month.  It was great, and I can't wait to have her back.

Is this not considered outing?
Is it permitted?

Out of consideration for the model, it's really best not to publicize who is doing a trade shoot with you. Unless they're only interested in doing trades, announcing that makes it harder for them to get paid.

This is what makes the mayhem worth the trouble. Congrats to you both.

Come on man, the model was the first comment below the OP and she left him a great tag saying it was trade. I don't think this will hurt her chances on paid work.

Obviously the poster above you did not see that Mikki posted right after me and thanked me again for the wonderful collaboration we had! I am sure that if she had a problem with me bragging about our shoot together, she would have said something to me and I would have gladly removed this post if she asked me to.

And I have seen quite a few POSITIVE posts where the model was mentioned by name!

Great to hear!

I was really sad when my trip to Ohio a few years back didn't allow me any time to shoot with her.

MM does have some boneheaded flakes, but you'll get better at spotting them over time. My flake rate started around 60%, it's now pretty close to 0. I still have a last-minute cancel every once in awhile, but no true flakes (no-show, no-call) in years.
