Do you ever wonder how many of us are perfect?
Posted by marksora: Posted by Reese: Yes, Queen Reese, Queen Theda, and I, court jester 2nd level could care less about you none perfectos. Now get back to work... As the King of Sarcasm on MM, ruling alongside the lovely Queen theda, I do not recall ever giving marksora the authority to be the Court Jester. May 23 05 10:09 am Link Reese news from the front lines, the People who think they are Perfect are invading for that want to outlaw fun. King Guilianni is coming for the Queen Theda and will make her dress in Mauve and fusha and yellow. I see the banners now. Stop it, Stop it right now, FUN IS NOT ALLOWED, .. run they are doing a maturity test on us..... run.....or least get rid of your spy bots...(I have a mac so who cares) May 23 05 10:12 am Link Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: I already approved marksora's status as court jester. If you weren't 80 posts behin me, you'd know that. May 23 05 10:20 am Link Posted by Reese: us, as in we human beings. obviously was theoretical because I don't believe anyone is perfect.

(bows) Posted by Angel Tara: Excuse me? May 23 05 10:28 am Link Late to the party, I know, but this is what I tell every model I shoot with: "I will have to retouch your pictures at least a little. With a high-res camera from three feet away, *nobody* has good skin. Nobody." That's a little strong - I've shot models with "good" skin. But it wasn't perfect. In fact, I've got to the point where I pretty much know where a model is likely to have blemishes (under the fold of the lower lip, bridge of nose/center of forehead, just under corners of nose are the usual suspects) that the camera can see even if the eye doesn't, and I just routinely check them when I'm touching up the pic. Sometimes they're so subtle that it depends on which way the light was hitting them as to whether you can see them or not, but they're *always* there someplace, in some of the pictures. At least, in my experience, which although quite limited (about 20 model shoots) has included some *very* beautiful models. M May 23 05 10:29 am Link Hmm... :::Reese looks over title::: No... I much prefer Czar.. I'm taking Czar. Not Czarina... Czar. May 23 05 10:31 am Link Sorry Eric. I showed my imperfection by assuming that everyone knew that you were included. I serve humbly. That reminds me that I am rumbly in my tumbly. ---I will say it here. Marksora, I, me, ah me, sad hours bore the poop out of me. So I like to make my points with humor and not by yelling and argueing. I am sorry if you cannot get it but I use sorry in the Japanese way like summimasen. This means that I do not really mean sorry more like excusssee me. But I reserve the right to argue and raise my voice when needed. Thankyou and I am off to do work for I do not have Theda's job. Smile and people will think you are up to something. May 23 05 10:32 am Link Emperor is a nice second choice... But Czar is my first pick.. May 23 05 10:34 am Link Posted by Reese: Fine. But you're still in my harem, damnit. May 23 05 10:34 am Link Posted by Reese: Well, can I be Czarina then? May 23 05 10:36 am Link Eric, Okay - but "I ain't no holla back girl..." May 23 05 10:36 am Link Posted by theda: Posted by Reese: Well, can I be Czarina then? Okay,Theda, but if you get two titles, I want two... I'm taking Czar and Emperor... May 23 05 10:37 am Link Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: Posted by theda: Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: I already approved marksora's status as court jester. If you weren't 80 posts behin me, you'd know that. (bows) Posted by Angel Tara: Excuse me? Oops, sorry! Should have know that in the world of ModelMayhem forums, anything goes! May 23 05 10:44 am Link ugh nope..i dont wonder..i know whos perfect and not.. May 23 05 10:45 am Link Posted by Angel Tara: About 10%. I also noticed that when I shoot models, 90% of the time, they end look different in thier pictures anyways. May 23 05 01:04 pm Link someone wrote under one of my pics... flawless... oh if they only knew. Ok, my confession. (giggles) I got like three little scars from chicken pox, some uneven skin tone, I got a little mole (thats seems huge to me) right above my lip thats re-touched most of the time, I got some fat on my hips my agency wants off but the fat says na-A its not even one inch - gimme a break!, lets see - well I cant but Im sure I got a pimple on my back, and yes I got occasional break outs... oh yes, my nails arent always really manicured and sometimes I forget to clip my toe nails on regular bases and...... Im tired of waxing but unwilling to shave. there! May 24 05 07:00 pm Link Posted by sibyl: Hi Sibyl, welcome to the forum. You? Flaws? Well, the scars and stress just show you are human. IMHO, You are flawless! When it comes to faces, two parts of the face that photographers focus on the most are the eyes and the mouth. Your lips are just the right size ... almost Angelina Jolie size, but not quite. You have nice big eyes too! I also love that you are multi ethnic which gives you such variety of looks. Nothing against blondes, but I think brunettes like you are much more interesting! May 24 05 07:36 pm Link Posted by Matthew Grogan: Agreed! And as artists, we are almost always tougher on ourselves than anyone else! May 24 05 07:37 pm Link Posted by Angel Tara: What a creep! Hmmm ... if it was a guy then maybe she should have asked if she could measure his manhood? LOL May 24 05 07:39 pm Link Posted by Lisa Fortier: "Photoshopped to death!" I'm not even good at photo Shop, so I would rather not use it unless it's to save the picture. So I agree with you ... too much Photo Shop = too fake! May 24 05 07:44 pm Link Posted by AshleyDanielle: Simple; Stick your butt closer to the camera. That'll do it! May 24 05 07:45 pm Link Posted by Patrick Walberg: ok so what is this? too much-too fake too what-to much work?..the original untouched is also on my page May 25 05 07:04 am Link Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder, every person is perfect with their flaws thats what makes us different! But as far as someone being physically and mentally perfect that is something I have never seen! May 25 05 08:59 am Link My mama said: "No one is perfect, save for God..whoever you deem him or her to be". I haven't seen a perfect model yet. But there is always photoshop...even playboy 'touches' up models. I wonder if "Perfect 10" does as well? Hmmm. I wish I was perfect. Sun May 25 05 12:03 pm Link When Cindy Crawford started modeling apparently several agents told her she needed to get her mole removed. Now it's like her trademark. And I happen to meet / see perfection EVERY day. Well at least everytime I pass something with a reflective surface. *Runs hands through thinning hair ala Morris Day* Playboy models I've worked with aren't all that to begin with actually. But I rarely touch my photos. Might have to do some color correction as in lightening or darkening an image or removing too much red etc some scars, some stretch marks...etc. But Im not like Eric, mister I wanted to be a plastic surgeon but could only afford photoshop to enlarge breasts.... sheesh. CHEATER!!!!! LOL May 26 05 06:46 am Link |
