see now I'm young and punk and I talk a good game
but you deluding yo'self if you think that ain't gonna change.
my blue and black hair, the close that I wear,
in a couple uh years that'll all dissapear into thin air.
I'll reappear in a suit, choked in tie
grabbin up figures
while you servin up fries
I'll quote marx and chomsky
as long it's rockin
but at the end of the day,
It's all fuckin talking
I wouldn't give my life for any revolution
there's no confusion
my ideals an illusion
best to strike me harder than unions.
I'm tall white & male, my position is fixed
I'm the next generation of Man of whom you'll be suckin his dick

I *do* think that the site is about as non-exploitative as a cash-for-photos sort of pornographic website is going to be. We are all, to some extent, treating each other as means rather than ends here. But, the presence of the women in other contexts than their photos lets me find my comfort level in terms of feeling that I'm not actively compromising anyone's autonomy by being here. There are a couple of women on here whose photos I *don't* look at precisely because I think the lack of self-assurance they show indicates that they did not make a choice in appearing here that I can endorse.
Part of this could become a long discussion about the nature of exploitation (and has, in the feminists group). As something of a left-libertarian, I hesitate to condemn people's choices as long as they seem to meet certain relatively minimal standards of empowerment, and so I don't think I've violated my moral obligations if I go ahead and benefit from that choice.
I didn't come in expecting this site to be a public service, and so I'm not disappointed that it's not. It's a business that provides me with products I desire - photos, interesting people to waste my time by chatting with, etc. - at a price I find worth it, and without (as far as I can see) committing any gross moral violations in the process. Mind you, were I to encounter credible evidence that some of the shady dealings with models Shawn et al are rumored to have were true, I'd have to revise that last clause and leave.
I'm not sure what's causing you to question Missy's skill as a photographer, in particular. Honestly, I'm not much of a photography buff, and so don't usually even pay that much attention to who has shot the sets (though I am impressed with lithium_picnic's work with Apnea, in my untrained eye sort of way).
*shrug*
First Maryland, then New York, then San Diego. Is there any place we haven't gone on our whirl-wind tour.
My set isn't up yet, but check me out anyway, Im a limbo girl
