I'd say it's borderline.  Perhaps it is a sign of someone who either lacks experience or social polish.  It sounds more like an invitation to hang out than to work.

When approaching a model about working together, I think you should mention:
   >>>  What kind of images you (the photographer) wants to make.
   >>>  How long the sitting would last.
   >>>  What compensation is being offered.
   >>>  Where the sitting would be held.
   >>>  Will a MUA be provided?
   >>>  Stuff like that.
Mind you, the initial contact may not be specific, but it certainly need more details regarding the photographer's intent.

Maybe, they got too tired to type out the extra sentence?

Among the socially retarded, yes.

Only if he doesn't include a picture of himself.

Personally, I'd write to you and say:

Lapis,

Please check the appropriate box to let me know your interest in getting together with me:
___ Fuck
___ Shoot Photos
___ Both

Thanks for your time.

Eric

That's a lot simpler.

That could work.

Oh man! I have been thinking about you the last few days....just did a really *pornographic* shoot....reminded me of the good old days, but if you are going to get snippy in my thread just because I didn't like the way you introduced yourself to me then I will just have to go and bitchslap visions of excess....

I usually send a message with "Shoot" in the subject line and "?     -Don" in the message.

Is that OK?

Is it working? Then it is okay. lol.

Obviously, this persons approach is not going to work on models like myself, but I am turning down money because of my snobbery.

Lapis,

What is with posting my email?   Geez,  not very cool.  Well could be worse.  That one I actually used a dictionary and did not send along a special picture of myself.

Hey,  I am no english major,  Give a dirty dog a break.

Samual Jackson called...he wants his line back!

Hey,  That is my phrase.   PAY ME NOW for saying PAY ME NOW.  Damn copycat.
Come here little kitty,  I need a hair ball.

Hah! not your line! checked out the copyright on it....considered generic enough language that I can safely swipe it for my own internet use.

Flattery will get you... well, I'm not sure what exactly it will get you   But I'll be in Chicago March 6-19 

As for being GWCd, don't bother to out him... there are too many of them for even you to take on.  Seriously, I've seen 10 of these at once in the in boxes of some of my model friends (they basically let me see so they could say "look at this dork"), including one Chicago model who I think you sort of know.

My only question is, how did you manage to stay relatively immune to this for so long?

piss, vinegar, and never posting in shout, announcements, or casting calls.

Yes...I know. I was KIDDING about outing him, as it was almost as if a stereotype landed in my inbox....it would be more out of line for me to mention this persons name than it was for them to send me an extremely complimentary (if totally unprofessional) e-mail.

I'm a moderator, hon. I've already got your email address if I want it. I'm all ninja/stalker like that.

And don't worry. I'd never seriously proposition you for sex unless we actually met in person. Until then, it's all just jokes.

Hehe. Me likes Lapis. Unfortunately, I decided to fit the stereotype of the starvin' artist a bit too much.
