LOL.. I was thinking that exact same thing.. or just adding a Mature over 40 gallery to my site.

When are you coming here to pose for the Mature Over 40 site????  You can be the FIRST MM Model on the site...

Please.. check the list and try to get with someone in your area.. Lynn has extended the cut off date to September 15th, 2008.


Back in October of last year (page 11) An idea was proposed for a book (later the thought of a calendar was included), of Mature Models all over 40.

Frequently a list was posted of those Photographers and Models who wanted to be included.

This list reflects those folks who've agreed to participate in a tribute to the 40+ year old mature models in our industry. The list allows folks to network together and produce images around the theme "Sexy Mature Model". The images will then be collected and we will produce a book and/or calendar  (non profit) that will be available at cost to all who participated.

Not to long ago we decided start getting ready for this Book (and possibly Calendar) to go forward to the finished product.

The Person who with Lynn Louise was putting this together, stepped out of the project, and Lynn asked me to step in and help put it together.

Back on March 12th (page 81), I posted the final "lists" of Photographers and Models.

Due to the fact that some models did not have photographers on the list that were near them (in the same state), we decided to allow them to submit their images, if they have a written agreement from the photographer that they had permission to submit an image for publication in a book or calendar. As most (not all) releases or usage agreements, allow for portfolio use or comp cards, etc., not all allow for publication in a book or calendar that will be sold.


Ok....a little update as there have been some questions....

1.
a. As long as the PHOTOGRAPHER is on the list, he/she CAN submit images of a non list MM model.

b. As long as the MODEL is on the list, she/he can submit images from a non list MM photographer. But the Model must have a written agreement from the photographer giving her permission to submit the images for publication in a book and/or calendar.

c. In this case all images must have been shot no more than 9 months prior to June 2008.

2.  Some have asked for an extension due to some upcoming shoots (i.e...warmer weather, etc.), so lets put the tentative deadline for September 15, 2008.

3.  Since we are extending the deadline, then we have to change the time frame of the image....the image must have been taken no more then 9 months prior to June 2008.

Ahhh I wish... there certainly were plenty in Dublin.   The female to male ratio is about 4:1 and 70% of the population in Dublin is in the under 30 range!  I wish I had more time but I drove around a lot from Dublin to Blarney to Killarney to the Cliffs of Moher in five days trying to see as much as possible, in a mini-vacation.

Well, whoever it was, he is one lucky bastard!  But, then again, he did not have to be all that talented to get a great shot of a model as stunning as you are...

I was just going through the list... isn't there anyone in Southern California?

There are 3 photographer who either live or work in the southern CA area that are on the list. Unless L.A and Orange county arent in Southern California anymore.

There is only one model in California that VOLUNTEERED to be in the project. No others wanted in ...why I dont know.
