I learned good and early that being on the internet required a thick skin. You put yourself out there - now expect to be dissected, critiqued, complimented, ignored, and be able to accept any of them with grace.
If you are attempting to "model", then you need to be prepared for feedback. I bemoan the "internet model" craze too, because I think it encourages the attribution of self-worth to appearance. The creativity I see in many of the photographs is being hauled by the "not very much" truck. Different outfit, different make-up, over and over and over again. Why? It's obviously not a creative outlet; otherwise, you would BE CREATIVE.
It was nice to meet you last night, even though we didn't really get to chat. I'm looking forward to next weekend.
