Should I Do Penthouse?
I have gotten several offers to do Penthouse... I've always been on the fence about it but haven't been too sure yet. Can anyone offer me a list of pros and cons? I also know, IF I do Penthouse I will get porn offers which I def. don't want to do. What are your thoughts? Thanks a million!! XoXo- Michele Belle Aug 15 11 03:37 pm Link I prefer Penthouse to Onebedroomapartment...  ...but it's really your call what area of the picturemaking industry you want to get into.

That, from me, is a compliment of the highest kind, less than one percent of the models here on MM would ever hear that from me. You got " It ", rock it!!;-) Aug 15 11 03:52 pm Link how much are they offering these days ? Aug 15 11 03:54 pm Link Well, you've got nekid pics on here, so you're already exposed nationally. Doing Penthouse would give you National Exposure. Aug 15 11 03:58 pm Link yes, you should do penthouse.

Aug 15 11 05:05 pm Link I can't think of any cons. Aug 15 11 05:08 pm Link what Cherrystone said ^^^^^ Aug 15 11 05:09 pm Link Go Penthouse! Aug 15 11 05:14 pm Link You're doing it here for free, why not take the money? Aug 15 11 05:19 pm Link Penthouse wants to do you . . . Aug 15 11 05:22 pm Link Buy a current issue of Penthouse, look it over, and decide for yourself if that is what you will like doing from now on. Once you do it, expectations will be that you will continue doing that from now on. Don't have any illusions about it, Penthouse is a hardcore porn magazine, so it can be expected that you are open to hardcore porn offers. Aug 15 11 05:23 pm Link Porn offers come to models all the time regardless if they do Penthouse or Bikini work. To these guys, Penthouse opens the door just a bit more for making these offers. Lots of future porn stars are born there. Pick up a few issues and decide for yourself and set your limits for when offers DO come in. Maybe look into getting an agent. Aug 15 11 05:36 pm Link I'm shocked to hear that Penthouse is still in business! Aug 15 11 05:40 pm Link Go for it. National tearsheets are not to be scoffed at. Aug 15 11 05:43 pm Link If the money's good...... Absolutely! Congratulations in advance. Aug 15 11 05:44 pm Link I have a few questions: 1) Were you contacted, directly, by the publishers of Penthouse or were you contacted by a photographer, who has shot for them and who indicated that he wants to shoot you, for submission to the magazine? 2) You're naked on the internet. You're 24 years old and not getting younger. What is YOUR goal in modeling?? It seems to me that most internet models aspire to appear in internationally-circulated magazines that feature their genre. Why would you BE a nude glamour model if you didn't want to do Penthouse? 3) Have you seen a copy of Penthouse? Is the material featured in the magazine within your comfort zone? EDIT: depending on your answer to #1, did you ever contact Penthouse to see if they would be interested in featuring you? I am a bit confused as to how this "opportunity" would present itself to you if you weren't gunning for it. Aug 15 11 05:55 pm Link Thanks for all the questions but MY question was what are the PROS AND CONS.. not who contacted me. I also am a paid nude model so therefore it would be going an extra step! It's a pretty simple equation, nude models might go erotic, erotic might go hard core, get it? I do know it's obviously about comfort level... Aug 15 11 06:29 pm Link Michele Belle wrote: That's kinda silly. Do you not think that your CURRENT photos are being listed on erotic lists? Do you not think that people, somewhere are masturbating while looking at your pics and consider them great erotica? or that people elsewhere are condemning you as a pornographer? Aug 15 11 06:47 pm Link Michele Belle wrote: There is no such thing as being "lured in" to doing hardcore porn. As an adult, who is over 18, you set your own boundaries and decide what you are comfortable with. If you don't trust YOURSELF to be competent, and confident, in setting your own personal boundaries, then you (the universal "you," not you specifically) shouldn't be modeling at all. Aug 15 11 06:55 pm Link The pros and cons are different for each individual. What I would consider a con of posing for penthouse may not bother you in the least bit. Ask yourself, not complete strangers who dont know anything about you, your comfort levels, your career goals, your life goals, etc. Aug 15 11 06:58 pm Link keep the breed strong. please don't. thanks. Aug 15 11 07:02 pm Link Eric Simard wrote: Is that some sort of CODE? Aug 15 11 07:05 pm Link no. if you have to ask, no; something unsettled in your spirit is reluctant. Aug 15 11 07:05 pm Link Your portfolio is mostly topless. I see your crotch showing slightly in a couple of your pics. I assume Penthouse will want some open leg shots. The con is that once you do those, you will likely be getting similar requests 24/7 from GWCs, amateurs and pros. If you get no other nude requests are you ready to pay your bills with those types of shoots? Aug 15 11 07:06 pm Link Well you're definitely Penthouse material. I think it could be a good springboard to other good material and exposure. But you will probably get some "porn" offers.

Reason: violates rules Comments: No personal attacks please Aug 15 11 07:13 pm Link Being published in a national magazine sounds like a pretty good option... And any other offers you get, that you don't want to pursue, you don't have to. Every model, every woman, every person has the perfect right to say "no" when they don't want to do something. Why wouldn't you shoot for Penthouse? Aug 15 11 07:14 pm Link God yes, and make sure to let me know which issue it is. Ill actually buy a copy.. Aug 15 11 07:15 pm Link

Reason: other Comments: Got your point, thanks. Aug 15 11 07:16 pm Link OK, so I guess my PM was not appreciated either since another wrote a very similar post here. Pro's and con's. Pro's - money and exposure. Cons - Exposure and not able to control the images and or delete them. Some will of course always find any work you do without clothes as trashy, but most will find a difference in appreciation of the work in Penthouse, which most find pretty trashy. So if you care what those people think, then don't do it. If the people you care about are more open minded, then go ahead. Aug 15 11 07:16 pm Link 8541 wrote: 2ND !

Reason: not helpful Comments: Knock it off Aug 15 11 07:20 pm Link Ditto on Shiva Kitty and Laura Unbound. Having shot for Penthouse way back, one of my models became a photographer. So it's what you WANT to do. Ask Ken Marcus and Eric Miller.... EG Aug 15 11 07:20 pm Link |
