It's a satirical social commentary on photoshopping images. It brings up valid points that all members on this thread said.

I leave mine as is

I think I speak for everyone who hides their identity when I say.....

I love my job as well but for security reasons (getting arrested, getting my kids taken away) I HAVE to hide my identity but that doesn't mean I don't love my job.

Exactly!! When I had started doing this here, I had posted a pic of ONLY my eyes and other body shots on BP. Well, someone had texted me and supposedly recognized me... They knew my name and details about my kids. I played it off, and they never contacted me again, but I have NO idea who it was. The last thing I would want though is for my kids to be negatively affected by this. Doing this does not make me or any other girl on here bad mothers unless they are doing it with them present. Me doing this has given my babies a much better quality of life than working a regular 8-5.

I personally love this though. Of course there are days when I hate it (like any other job) mostly those are the days that guys cancel last minute or cause other annoyances. But I love the freedom and flexibility and I have some really great clients so I couldn't be happier with it, for now.

I found out a girl from my hometown (not my friend that was here for a week) uses "dummy ads". Basically someone else's pics to lure clients to her. That kinda pisses me off honestly. I've also heard stories of girls using old pics of themselves and then looking completely different. As long as my clients keep telling me I look better than my pics, then I am happy.

I also had a gent in New York ask if I was up there once.. Apparently a gal was using a pic of my backside. Flattering, but I called her and asked her to remove it, which she did. Like I told her, you will do much better in this business if you are AUTHENTIC and HONEST about your appearance and such.

If you are retouching to hide a distinctive tattoo that expose your identity, but otherwise disclose you have some ink then I don't have a problem with it. If you slim up, firm up, or add onto the image for the purposes of improving your looks then that can be perceived as false advertising. Likewise, removing too many age spots, wrinkles, or similar marks of wisdom has led to backlash on more than one occasion in my memory.

I've never hid mine because everyone in my family and life knows what I do, and not worried about cops because MY donations are for my time and companionship only (:

But again, everyone is different!
Also I do not have children, but to all my super fine SA MILF's, yes hell yeah I would!

Hiding face is TOTALLY understandable 100%
I just ment actually changing your looks.

Bailey just saw that picture, very nice,what a great smile.

Retouching and editing is fine,as long as the reasons are for security, and not to deceive. IMO

I ♥ baileys pic posted!!
The only editing i do to my pix are
-i crop them (no need for my face, the extra space, or clutter to be seen in the background)
-i put a "sticker" over my tattoo ( dont want to be spotted/outted bc of it)
-i "sometimes" will change the lighting effects..theyre so fun to make it look b&w/vintage, etc)
Oh....and nearly all my pix are cell pix...why?
Bc theyre raw & i dont want to "mislead" anyone. Maybe i should invest, im always told how my pics dont do me justice.

Is that too much editing?

Your pics definitely do not do you justice.

[Guest101314]

Nena, I've met you in person and your pics DEFINITELY DO NOT do you any justice love!! I am going to get with Leo in the next few weeks for pics of my own, but I agree with the statement above about having both kinds, so clients won't think its TGTBT. Leo does such an amazing job, in my opinion, its well worth the money!

[Guest010619]

Seeing just the 'parts' makes the upcoming visit all the more exciting. The face however usually becomes the 'icing on the cake'.

[Candi Staxx]

I can agree with that one also, although I must say for every 10 appointment requests I get, for whatever reason, 3-4 out of 10 requests will actually include in their first contact that they chose me because they were able to see my face and make that "connection" before meeting me.

Although for me, looking at all these SA ladies hot pics with no face just makes me want to finally work up the courage to go to a mixer, it does definitely draw you in in a way, make you really want to see what else is there (:

And seeing how your already my biggest girl crush WITHOUT pro pics, I think its safe to say us other gals dont stand a chance if your pics get better Kitti!
