^ I have modeled nude for artists photographers for about 5 years off and on. They NEVER take good photos, but I usally don't care. It's money! I do think I am pretty though, and it would be nice to have some stunning photos of me for a change. They would help with a portfolio. I have never tried submitting photos to real modeling agencies, but I figure I'd give it a try if I can ever build up a good model/photographer relationship to build up a portfolio. There are too many skeezes out there who do TFP and it's not worth it. I am only 5'5, so I am not looking for any huge career, maybe just some print ads for catalogs n such. I find it more a way to keep in touch with the art/fashion world more than anything.
