Fetish Gossip Revisited

I would prefer it if morons would stop bringing my name up on fetishgossip.com. It is not my site. I have never even heard of most of subjects of the recent entries to it.

I would prefer it if morons would stop posting pretending to be me on fetishgossip.com.

I would prefer it if more people spent their time actually doing something. Actually creating something. Instead of trying to tear other people down. I am not particularly indicting fetishgossip.com with this statement, as I think that site is a symptom of the bitchy society a few over-the-hill models have been working to create. What goes around comes around. But, as I have not sent any around, I would prefer not to receive any. Karma and all that. It would really only be fair to leave me the fuck out of it.

And while I am setting the record straight . . . there are probably some fetish scene people who know a certain ungrateful bitch who I helped a lot, early in her time as a model. They have probably heard her complain that there were some times when I didn’t give her what she wanted in terms of usage of photos which I had spent money on and she had not.

Well, the first big bone of contention was an article for Secret. She wanted to be in Secret and wanted some of the photos Forrest and I had taken of her to appear in it. Forrest and I put up a page of small scans for Secret to choose images. Secret told me to go ahead and send ALL of the prints. This would have entailed sending them hundreds of dollars worth of prints which they would not return to me later. They were not even going to give me any promo or a copy of the magazine. I had always gotten that model copies of magazines I got her photo into, even when I had to buy twenty dollar magazines to do so. Oh, and I would be expected to allow web rights to all photos sent. And now a bunch of people are peeved that Secret is using their photos online. I didn’t want to be upset with Secret, so I skipped what sounded like a deal I would not be happy with. And I’ve had to deal with a mountain of absurd slander and libel ever since. Only now various models and photographers are coming to the same conclusions about Secret’s business practices that Forrest and I came to like four or five years ago? I think I am owed a few apologies from people who didn’t understand my position before they were in it.

Oooooooooooooooooh, now you all have the dirt. Do you feel enriched?

I spend my time working around the clock to create. That is why I have more credits than most of the people reading this (not counting you, Forrest.) I would like to be let be, so that I can continue to be creative. Leave me the fuck out of your petty social squabbles. I am creating for posterity, not for lame social status at your next mixer.
