If You've the time and want a giggle.

Well, at least most of the comments were positive.

mmmm,

The two things that most stuck me were:

Quote :

"I ***king laugh at goths who are older than 18. I mean here I thought people dressed that way to piss off their parents. To see adults doing it because they believe it looks good.. oh how I die laughing lol."

Quote :

"Goth is a genre those with no hope of mainstream or commercial modeling gravitate to. It allows them to still think they are models... for what exactly, I'm not sure, but thats my opinion and I'm stickin to it."

Oh and that strange woman going on about horses and quoting various bits of Germanic mythology completely out of context.

Everybody getting way too over excited to be healthy!

I've always been a big fan of Wednesday Mourning, and then she comes along and tries to diffuse the sitation with common sense and intelligence... turning my admiration into great respect. Hats off to Wednesday.

Am I out of the loop? When I was shooting a bunch of models for agencies (mid 90s) they weren't really interested in that niche'. It seems that it is everywhere on here- (some cool stuff I might add though not my bag) What's up with that? Is the goth thing opening doors to actual work? I think I'm old.

I have a profile on there because I think Suicide Girls is disgusting and TACKY! That link irritated me more than entertained me. Ignorance pisses me off.

^Aye! I agree... but maybe I'm just still bitter over how they treated Apnea and Lithium Picnic... Not to mention, most of the girls on there... I could beat them in hotness levels, and I'm not even all that particularly interesting looking.

At least there were defenders.

I know this girl who got rejected by them TWICE. She's such a filthy little whore too. I think she finally got accepted but she really let herself go and she wears sexy lingerie but she lets her flab hang out. It's vomit-worthy.

I went to Convergence 13 with her and she took some random guy off the street into our hotel room and...yeah....needless to say I don't care to ever talk to her or see her again. She told everyone she met that she was a SG before she even submitted anything and everyone was drooling over her. It was disgusting. She dresses "gothic" but she said she hates goths.

Now she's a stripper at a trashy gentleman's club and she has STDs. Sorry TMI but...this is why I hate SG. Too many trashy people and it's not even artful. It's just porn.

Good porn is artistic, but I know what you mean. If this was in "that other thread" I'd say yuck.

^Oh sick. Well, if that's the kind of business they want to run...

Heh, most people are so ignornat when it comes to things they know nothing about. I'm actually in the process of joining model mayhem myself.

cute spooky more hip than cheerleader? HA!

At least spooky is more realistic than cheerleader.

So I have heard all this talk about SG treating their models poorly and that something happened with them and apnea ?

Someone fill me in!!!

I heard something about Apnea and SG but I never really heard the story.

I heard something about SG's being owned by men and some of the women weren't being paid. Don't know if any of that's true though.

Ya I would like to know

I was going to point you at Lithium picnic's explanation of the dispute, but as they're all settled and happy again he's taken down the page on his site calling for us to boycott SG 'n' such.

But there's these, which seems to have some explanation:

This one's kinda out of date, but might give you the pre "all friends again" story

ahh thats what happened thank you edgeeffect.

I used to really like the model apnea, but after seeing her work outside of Gothic Beauty I am not really a fan

Yeah, I'm sort-of "sitting on the fence" as far as Apnea fandom goes at the moment, I dunno if I'm a fan or not.

^I am. Can't say I'm crazy about absolutely everything she does... (the girl-on-girl stuff is definitely not my cup o' tea... I never understood the latex hood fetish either... and the web cam is just unnecessary.) But I appreciate her creativity in the field (no suicide-bathroom scenes from THIS gal! )

I don't really care for a model that just exposes her vagina for a photo.

^^ I agree 100%. I find it tasteless and sleasy.
