when i met Toni and Karlie after Missoni show, there was a girl with them (i guess their agent) and this girl asked if i was a member of tfs.. so the 2 models of course read their threads

^well the question is, why they wouldn't read? and talking about these 2 that have a bunch of people posting everything they do. these kind of models are very lucky for having people that search for their work, because if not that I'm sure they wouldn't see half of it.
Same reason a lot of pro athletes don't read their local sport pages... Actually probably more so... As great as it is to be famous, there is a lot of inquiry in to their private lives as well as running commentary and critique about style, look, appearance, etc. Do you think Eugenia would have enjoyed the Mickey Rourke thread?
That being said, gossip and commentary are very much a part of this niche, and with it being prevalent, I can completely understand how a model would enjoy the anonymity of an online fashion forum, and stick to areas where they are passionate about, while avoid their own threads.
The agent asked me if i was a tfs girl, because it's not very difficult the relation : a fan of models = tfs member... because noone cares of models (except us)!
based on my experience with models that i met, my thought is that young models read their threads, while very established models don't read it because they totally don't need to check their work on internet.
and no i didn't talk to Toni but i talked a lot with Karlie that was very lovely and i said i follow their career and congratulations..

They wouldn't see half of their work because most of them don't have the knowledge to search for their work on the net, like members of tFS, that's why, do you think all the work they do goes to their agencies' websites? some time ago i've searched for runway photos for a model, to send to her because she couldn't find most them, is that because she doesn't know how to work with the computer? i don't think so, that's because she doesn't know the sources that I do & an awful lot of tFS members.
And actually you can't compare the Eugenia's thread about she dating Mickey Rourke because it doesn't make sense since we are talking about models' threads and models' threads in general are fan clubs, sure there was some discussion about Volodina's bf on her thread but nothing of those comments you saw in the Rumor has It forum at all. And actually it's a tFS rule to just discuss about models' career in their SC respective threads, so why they wouldn't check their threads?

well you could be a bellazon girl
I wouldn't say established models don't read because Coco Rocha & Natasha etc are very established topmodels and they read, but maybe not so much as others models that aren't as big as they are, a sure thing is that the work they do is for so famous HF brands that's very easy for they do get it, you know what I mean?
some? belive me every model does. Even most agents check out their model's thread. It might sound ridiculous but tfs is the best source for scans, runway stuff and most agencies make use of it.
