I fucking hate that this site has percentages of how much people like a set. Can't we just like a fucking set! This is ridiculous. I'm an average 94-96%. Ew. Sounds gross. Granted I'm an A if this was based on a test, but I'm not an A plus to be bought. FUCK. I honestly just like blogging on here. AND I FUCKING LOVE ALL MY SETS, and all the photographers I have worked with. I really want to write off this site and say goodbye. I think I'm different and unique and beautiful. I don't need someone to tell me that. So bye for now.

You are different and unique and beautiful. That's not a percentage. That's a fucking fact.

I always wondered why they felt the need to display the percentages for those sets, I mean isn't it basically just used to help them determine if someone should be a SG? If so, they could easily keep those numbers private and internal.

You're beyond numbers and percents in my book.

Darling, you're phenomenal. you're incredible. you're lovely. you're hilarious and fun and ridiculous.

Don't just be here to sell the sets and leave if they're not bought - you're a personality and you're deliciously beautiful. I think you're gorgeous. And we also loooove the sets too! Don't go dammit!

Don't do that!

You are far better than an A+. BTW in my college our results were always multiplied with 0.85, since only "god can have 100%".

We love you...

I think 94-96% is pretty fucking good, not everyone's always gunna like a set. So long as you like it and have fun doing it, and sounds like you do, that's the main thing. I wouldn't write it off x

Its not about liking my set or if its about getting bought, its about the heart break this site gives by putting a percentage, making your pictures of worth. My pictures are priceless and the mean more to me because of the experiences I had. I can see myself grow into the woman I am today, that at some point I was not comfortable in my own skin, and now I am woman hear me roar. I am beautiful, sexy, unique fun. And what I was trying to get at is I don't need a number or any of it anymore. I got onto to this site 4 years and have seen its changes. Honestly its not the same website. I just think that sometimes this place is not the best confidence builder for a woman like its original platform. I shouldn't bitch or say my opinions out loud, because everything apparently matters on here. I wrote this about a number being next to the sets, not about my own concern, and nobody's pictures should ever be a number.

I can agree that his site is no what it used to be, it is still better than some out there. I'm glad to see that it gave you confidence, but I can see where the number attached could also be a simple turn off. I hope you do stick around I like your sets and your blogs, but I understand if you go.

Serious ramble ahead!
Well from the point of view of a professional photographer, the "grades" are as much about the success of the collaboration between two artists as it is about the model alone. I don't care how "smokin"
' hot" (common comment) the model purports to be, there is no way any set will get into the high percentages without good photography, good posing, good location...and usually good light.
In my work I cannot produce great stuff if the model isn't great That does not mean hot, it means talented, confident, .collaborative, creative... And I guarantee I have fucked up work with great models because I wasn't into the concept, didn't plan properly, could not communicate with that particular person...or just blew it. Check with Venom...blew that!
How many sets never get out of review because the photographer can't focus the camera? Because the work is completely uninteresting? Because the light just blows?
Or...because the model didn't "show up"?
The site has changes, yes. I believe the largest change has been the quality of the work. I didn't use to spend much time here except to see friends sets, because the technical and artistic level was all over the place. I just didn't want to see bad work on good people.
And just look at the sets that go pink fast. Always good work between two artists.
I do agree that the percentages are kinda snarky. I do think it's a toss up about hiding them though. The site has evolved, as everything evolves. Choices are up to the members. If you did or did not make paid status, how would that be different...you got the job, or you didn't?
Instead of getting mad, frustrated, leaving...why not get in touch with Sean and see if he is receptive to other changes? Get some girls together and suggest a side of the site that doesn't get judges like that? But can also go pink through some other mechanism?
BTW...it's always been competitive...how did members go pink before? Because tattoos have gone mainstream (and the art of tattoo has gotten light years better because of it) the way a set goes pink has become more mainstream....and the overall image quality has improved with it.
Life is change. You are here for a reason, it varies for everybody. Problem?
Work to a solution...
Image attached is of a girl I shoot a lot. Just transforms in the studio....a good model who I collaborate with perfectly. It.s not just the model anymore.
