God, I hope Malibu never goes after me like this - I'd hate to have to defend myself against a 6-point attack! ;)
In defense of FigureRx, I've met Stephen and some members of their team and in addition to providing competitor sponsorships, they also help to coordinate paid photo gigs for their athletes. Even if you personally are not a fan of pose-for-pay work (former P4S), these gigs are a viable source of income for the physique models. It's inaccurate to say that the producers are the only ones profiting from this type of work.
They promote their athletes in other ways and are welcome to speak on that, if they'd like.
That said, I am somewhat surprised to see you attack the magazine industry, Malibu. When a female physique model does a magazine shoot, she knows the deal - unless she is paid for that appearance by one of her sponsors, then it's up to her to paylay that 'exposure' into cash (assuming that getting paid is the goal).
I don't know what you expect from J.M.'s FMG. He started his management company several years ago and has recruited several of the top competitors. But J.M. also represents several women who are good, though not necessarily at the top.
I've been saying for years now that anyone else who wants to can start a competitor management company. I know that some of the so-called 'gurus' operate in that capacity, but so far, no one - aside from JC Lopez - has had an interest in getting into physique athlete management.
Why?
BECAUSE THERE'S NO MONEY IN IT. If it were worthwhile, believe me, everyone and his brother would be jumping over themselves to get into athlete management.
You raise a valid question about the IFBB's tax-exempt status. I'm not convinced that this 'Canadian registered non-profit' is operating without earning a profit here in the U.S. All I know for certain is that a lot of the language on the IFBB's own website has changed quite a bit in the last couple of years. Things that make ya go hmm....
Regarding substance use, my position is that I don't believe that certain things should be illegal. I think that the lobbyists should continue pushing to have them legalized, but in the meantime, those who DO continue to use have to know that they're doing so at their own risk (of getting caught). In other words, I have no problem with 'use', in general, but those who break existing laws - no matter how unjust - have to be prepared to accept the consequences.
If Suzie Muscles uses substance-X to achieve her outstanding conditioning for the Olympia, I'm ok with that. I'm interested in the limits of human physique development and not that interested in how they get that way.
Barbie, I wholeheartedly agree with your statement that no single competitor - regardless of her title(s) - has an obligation to be an ambassador for the sport. If she chooses to do so in her spare time or in conjunction with her normal life, that's fine, but it's not at all reasonable to expect her to set aside real life in order to do that. It would be nice if the Olympia champions all enjoyed a 6-figure income from the industry, but that's just not the reality.
The paysites serve a vital function in the industry, which is why you keep seeing new ones pop up practically every month. Fans want to see their favorites more than once a month, so the electronic media are a more viable option than the print media these days. Moreover, the paysites generally pay the women who model for them (if a model chooses to do a shoot for free, that's on her), money which can represent the difference between 3 shows and 4 shows for a competitor. And if a competitor does 4 shows instead of 3, that's more money for the promoters.
Every deal is different, but a popular model can generally set a very high price for her services and if she's smart, then she makes sure that she, too, has the right to sell the content shot by the photographer. If I were an athlete manager, this is a condition I would insist upon.
Lastly, he can defend himself, but Stephen of FigureRx hardly seems self-serving when compared to me or *gasp* to someone like JC Lopez/Marc Thyssen. I don't know his entire plan, but what I've seen so far has impressed me and even if you do not like what he's said in his contest previews, you've got to admit that a lot of work has gone into writing them.
If you look around the industry, most people don't care enough about the pinnacle event in IFBB Figure to do so. Attack his specific opinions if you want, but be mindful of the context, and don't attack the man for giving a crap about something most of those profiting from this industry do not.
Steven,
There is controversial and then there is rude, disrespectful and dumb and you don't even have the ca hones to own up to having been the latter. Not that I wish to offend anyone in any way. :) If you truly believed the figure and fitness competitors deserve to be treated like top athletes in the world why rudely spout off stupid stuff about the reining Ms. O and then make dumbsh#t assumptions about last years runner up. What they don't fit into your *all* athletes category ???.
Since you (Great White Hope Investment Banker) expect that any Olympia winner should put personal interests aside and work for the benefit of the sport, are you personally going to be compensating them accordingly to do so (say to the tune of $100K or higher). Ya, I doubt it. ::) Competitors (including Olympia winners) don't owe Johnie Come Lately web portal operators like you, smoe photographers, potential elusive sponsors or the rip off magazine industry jack sh#t. Maybe if more women on the Olympia stage realized this they might start to demand their worth for a change. Maybe, but I doubt it, competitors might start to realize all the personal and important interests they have set aside and sacrificed to stand on a stage so that others can gain money off of their doing so isn't the way to go. Respecting all aspects of their life might be. Maybe it might occur to them they are selling off some of the most valuable things in life for cheap.
As to this being a silly industry......:
1. Well, of course there is the ever looming dark cloud of JM Management or Fitness Management Group or whatever it's called. At best this is an unbecoming impropriety that casts doubts on fairness in judging. At worst this is a conflict of interest for a non profit and a law suit waiting to happen. (What you think Denny? You are a big shot lawyer. Can you see $ signs before you eyes.)
2. Let's see. Oh, yeah what mainstream publicity have we had this year? The Craig and Kelly saga.
3. Then there is the reality that probably every one of the women on that stage has done or is currently doing something that is or has been extremely unhealthy to their body. Most if not all on that stage are probably taking some type of substance that is not FDA approved. Yes, even your Green Goddess herself is probably juicing more than weatgrass.
4. The fact that Olympia Men make what now $100,000 prize money and Olympia Women make $20,000 or so and few question this....especially the women because if they did they would not have a chance in hell of winning. Oh, ya and now they have a responsibility to put aside their personal lives and play Ambassador for the sport.
5. Knowing that there are women in the industry who pay planefair, hotel fees, hundreds of dollars for costume changes to be photographed by some guy (sometimes creeps) who rarely pay them anything is, well, silly. These guys generally get profits from their smoe websites that rarely benefit the women. If the photographer is lucky he can sell his shots to a magazine and profit further, rarely if ever do the women.
6. Last but not least is the realization that there are multitudes of women who will flock to your site and believe any spiel from any guy would claim to be the "investment banker" looking out for their best interest and offering potential sponsorship. I hope I am wrong, but I have to agree with Denny you seem like another self serving impostor. (a smooth talking slick one I must say.)

Barbie is the sexiest woman on earth. Next to Dina. Unless of course you go for preggos, in which case, it's Christine.
Tre, Here's a tip my friend. Never, ever talk about anything to do with taxes. Makes you boring. Second, it's political. You gotta figure half the people are against you.

Who is Malibu Barbie? I do not see any competitor stars under her title.
I think FigureRX is doing a fine job!

Ya, what's with that! Where's my stars, dang it!!!! :'( I have been bitching about that for years now. They told me if I keep posting I will get more, tis, tis, but to no avail. I would think it would be based on writing about content and relevance to the subject matter on the boards rather than just my ability to diet, stand in stripper shoes (aka drag queen shoes) and poise in a rhinestone studded bathingsuit. Dam, what's a girl gotta do? ??? Denny don't touch that one.....well, go ahead. I am intrigued by a man that knows how to handle his gun.

I don't know Barbie but can assure you she's not Dina.
Barbie you and Tre sound like you two need to get together. Marc - don't get too jealous.

Pahlease, I'll put my photography skills against yours any day of the week.
If you want some training tips, I can provide you with those as well.
You're still new here, we don't expect much out of you.

Isaac does a fine job. Some of my favorite photos have been taken by Isaac.
Where can I find your work?

Now, now Issac. Quit being such a bad boy. :( I don't think so. As I said Barbie only messes with the best. Besides, I'm still fumming at Tre for referring to be as "That Whore Barbie". Well, not enough to write a 6 point monologue. ;) The only one who gets away with that stuff is Ken late at night when were cuddling between the sheets. Well, Denny Crane might be able to too. In the words of my friend Paris......"he's Hot". :-*

then please do your models a favour and invest in a reflector &/or a flll in flash.
many of ur photos are incorrectly exposed and are full of unflattering shadows
here are 3 examples from your myspace:
(http://i21.tinypic.com/mjl9vk.jpg)
(http://i21.tinypic.com/5trh1l.jpg)
(http://i22.tinypic.com/w0pbuc.jpg)
Unflattering shadows & exposure on all three.
For the 1st: A basic rule in photography states do not place a bright light behind your subject. Unflattering!
For the 2nd: You're almost there, but the shadow could easily be fixed by noting where the sun was placed or using a fill flash.
For the 3rd: The choice in exposure has made the models hair look like part of the tree.
If you'd like to match my work, feel free to take some examples from my myspace or this page here:
http://homepage.mac.com/marc_thyssen/PhotoAlbum1.html (http://homepage.mac.com/marc_thyssen/PhotoAlbum1.html)
You will only embarrass yourself & i dont even have a website.
Malibu, i always choose carefully who i shoot with, and it wont be u luv.

Marc you are an absolutely horrible photographer!
Calm down I am just joking! ;D I like your work too!

You remember that??? :-[
You know that, not only do I love you, Barbie...but I also respect you, too.
I just needed to figure out who you were, that was all. ;)
-
OK, so I think this is at least a little funny....
So I claim not to be a Robert Reiff or Conor Mongan...but at least if you post photos for coaching purpose of Mr. Lift, then at least make the first one an awesome example. I too have fallen prey to many a photography faux-pa, and I'm sure you could find many faults with my work. Just do me this favor, look at this image and see if you disagree....
(http://homepage.mac.com/marc_thyssen/.Pictures/1.jpg)
-Sorry, but your first image, Blown completely out at the top of the frame and lacks focus. (Remember your rule #1...I could be wrong but where's the main light source here. The halo effect around her arm and head are totally inconsistent with the rest of the exposure.
-The model, while positioned in a very interesting pose, is cut off at the arm.
(I'm not going to say anything about the color, because it's either one of two things 1. Contest color is giving this girl her Sunkist Orange glow or 2. My monitor is not calibrated)
While I don't claim to be a photographic GOD, let's at least agree on this...you too are not. However, I do like some of your work.
BTW, I see you've shot with Jelena, she is really a fantastic model, not to mention a really nice person. You are very lucky to have shot with her.
Rick Lohre
PS - Don't take this as a personal attack as it is not intended that way.

Terrible shots of great models:

i think we need a photography forum...lol
Barbie is not me... I love her to death and anyone who knows me knows I say what I want under my real name... no hiding... plus I got a pic of me n Barbie n Isaac somewhere.... hmm maybe I cloned myself
-
Rick, after looking ar your folio http://www.lohrecreative.com/Portfolio.html (http://www.lohrecreative.com/Portfolio.html)
Talk about taking the piss, you're a total hipocrit. You've cut off arms and legs everywhere! Not just tips of elbows like me.
In addition, you practically have the SAME POSE in EVERY SHOT. BORING! Maybe you should call yourself Rick Lohre Creative?
Tanya had the contest colour on bc she competed at NPC USA's the night before, not much i can do about that.
Another example from the same shoot:
(http://i22.tinypic.com/kdkbjl.jpg)
If there is a fix for that, id like to know. With sunset light it shows more, but the tip of an elbow isnt much to cut off in my mind.
Yes, I doubt Jelena Abbou would shoot with you might i add.
Tre, FYI that second pic of Tara Caballero made Inside Sport magazine & the 3rd made FHM Oz. So I think the editors would disagree. And i've seen your work, girls clamour to shoot with you right?
Yours arent even worth the effort of posting
::)
Dina its nice to know ur listening ;)
-
You've got a major chip on your shoulder and it shows man. Like I said, I've got nothing against you...but you're not making it easy to get along with you man. And "taking the piss" must be a Down Under thing. I'm not into that whatever it means.
As far as the photos...While yes, I have a very limited folio out for view - I make no claims to Lift or anyone else that they are welcome to peruse and learn from it. I'll be honest, I have been meaning to go through my folio folder on my computer, but really haven't had the time. I'll let you know when I get a full folio online ;)
BTW...what about your rule #1?
I'm not sure what you're referring to with the "Rick Lohre Creative" man, but if it was a jab, it went completely over my head.
While I didn't mean that you were "lucky" that she shot with you. I was simply trying to say, good job, or something nice since she is really one of the most successful models in the industry. Not that "Gee Billy, I wish I could shoot with her..." But hey, I've never asked her....but glad you speak for her.
Dina, I like your idea. Maybe a neat add to the Ladies area. We'd have to dedicate a "Sticky" just for Dina Pics though!
Rick
-
If there is a fix for that, id like to know.
Isolate the skin with masks, then use channel mixers and/or desaturate certain colors (reds, in this case).
-
See now there's an intelligent response!
Or you could go the cheapie cop out way and just B&W it!!!!
-
oopss, my bad mate! Sorry rick, dont mind the Aussie slang.
I didnt read your last line:
PS - Don't take this as a personal attack as it is not intended that way.
So used to this forum being a playground, you know! lol
If you're at the Olympia, look out for the guy who wears the same t-shirt colours as Gene....(that will be me..lol)
Conor, i try not to use Photoshop to make my photos better, i prefer them untouched
But sure that would be the best way, post-processing...now where thats CS3 manual!
;)
-
Nah, its awrighhht - Just a Peice of Piss....
Worked with some Aussies in Hong Kong and that's one phrase I never got my head around. So I asked them what the F&*^% does Peice of Piss mean (easy task). I figured it slang, but thought I'd try to be a real smart ass...

what about this one i shouted out when it was hard to open a tap in the kitchen....and my roomies laughed
"Mate, its as tight as a nun's"
;D

I have pretty much gone the way of Lightroom myself and only use PS for eye work. Batch work with a full shoot is much faster with LR. No matter who you shoot, they can almost always use a bit of PS on the eyes!
-

No worries.. just figured I'd toss out the answer incase anyone wondered.
I need to get my hands on LR, and while I'm at it, I'll take a faster comp so I can run it smoothly.
-
Conor,
You should really try the download version. With the way you shoot it would be perfect. It's really a lot like Bridge and Photoshop merged into one. Great for applying adjustments to multiple photos while not even really affecting the masters. Simply chose to export the files and you still have completley untouched master files.
Rick
-
Lightroom is fantastic, i run a Powerbook 1.67 1.5GB 17" and its fine
PS still is the way to go if u need to go masks etc and yes eye work, now thats something i could start doing!

Perhaps you should start. One more thing you and JC have in common.
You're scenic shots are nice - stick to those.
Feel free to shoot the back of my head while I'm in the press pit this weekend and you're in the cheap seats. Or did you make up a magazine to shoot for like your buddy in order to secure credentials?

Try not to lop her head off like you've done in most of your shots diplayed on your site. Krissy is one of the best models and yes, even you will get good shots of her. 8)
-

Yes, one of the best in the biz is Lisa Brewer.

Aight BRO, now that you're ego has been sufficiently dimished back to 3rd gard... I will bid you fairwell.
Feel free to boast about your epic accomplishments on Vegas clubs and inflating your self-worth in the photography world.
-
Marc, seriously, you're not helping you're cause.
I'm not sure anyone here gives a hoot who knows who....Although I do know the hunchback who barbacks at Tao. That's my cousin Vin, and if you say you've shot with him, I'm leaving....
LOL

Rick, who are you mate? Do you think i care what anyone on here thinks? move along champ
I just illustrated Isaac talks crapola and you're giving him a back rub? haha! u guys are gold!
i should organise you a Spa pass here in Vegas & JC can film a "Get Big Nerds Gone Wild"
Its been established that 90% of the guys who post on here are complete nerds and terds, Isaac im sure you should get some medal for 3000+ posts just like Tre should. If you actually spent that time constructively with a woman you wouldnt need to resort to kleenex
I'm off to Dj, keep the Get Big BBQ warm!
:o
-
Simply trying to stay "on point" here and throwing some of my good ole smartass comments in to lighten things up.
And dude, I'm not into the back rub thing! That was low!

Rick is married to one of the top fitness competitors in the IFBB, Julie. Remember that when you try to shoot with her.
You'll fade away like many other egomaniacs that have posted on here over the years.
I thought the 16 and under clubs closed at 10pm, you're DJing work is complete for the evening. NO?

-
Marc, Be sure to say hello, you have my interest - either at the Press Conference or the Meet the Olympians? As for the clubs, wow - I may have to stick with you to get in those vip clubs! I am impressed! The Marketings Directors and the VIP hosts! Awesome!
As for photos, we all have good and bad ones. It all depends on what you do. We each have our own style, and gasp... some of them do make it into magazines, and more... I am pretty sure both Isaac and I have had quite a successful year with the pictures.
-
Tre, FYI that second pic of Tara Caballero made Inside Sport magazine...
Earth to DJ - a crap picture is a crap picture, no matter where it appears.
As a musclesleaze fan/schmotographer, you should know that firsthand.
& the 3rd made FHM Oz. So I think the editors would disagree. And i've seen your work, girls clamour to shoot with you right?
Yours arent even worth the effort of posting
Show me your covers, please.
You bring your best, I'll bring mine. No, wait, I've got customers to attend to right now.
Dina its nice to know ur listening ;)

Why would I talk about you?
Do you really think you're that important?
Or is it that you also write bad checks like your boyfriend does?

He's got something to prove.
And so far, he's proven that he's an 'international jackfuck'.

It's so funny. Every Marc Thyssen post reads the same:
"Hey, hey, look at me! Look at what I've done! Come see why JC loves me and why you will, too!! You Give me a look, I'm the greatest of the great whatevers! I'm a club kid and you're not! Weeeeeeee!"

ROFLWARHFBB @ the absolute epic pwnage by Lift, Tre', and Ricky Lo in this thread. Wish I would've been around for the festivities earlier. ;D
No point in piling on now, but sufficient to say, Marc, this has been one of the most prolific pwnings I've seen on this forum, and particularly in the women's section. Have fun carrying JC's notepad this weekend.

Dear JM,
Are you letting any of these fags shoot the new Olympia stars Felicia Romero &/or Jennifer Gates this week? i hope not!
But if you are, just make sure they pay decent $ for that chance.
Ron, You sound like a stand up guy. Sorry about rocking your forum here, but thats just my style. I'm not into holding hands around a campfire to sing "Kumbaya" like these cub scouts, where the only action they ever get is eachother. You know all these poofs are quiet as mice in person, as do JM & JC, but def like to say hi to you! Not sure ill make the Press Conference (im gutted i wont even see all of the show Fri or Sat night bc i have to spin @ Stratosphere) but ill be at meet the Olympians, ill be there with Amrit Dhaliwal, a FAME Fitness model, see u then!
Cheers
:)

Well, you know, Menudo, given our relationship, I feel entitled to be honest, the way friends are during difficult times. Can I be honest with you, Douchebag? You're a bastard, and a greedy one at that... This is about ambition, not morality, you greedy, sniveling, little wop. You're a sicko.
How much are you paying these models to shoot?
And yes that shirt makes you look fat.

Ya, what's with that! Where's my stars, dang it!!!! :'( I have been bitching about that for years now. They told me if I keep posting I will get more, tis, tis, but to no avail. I would think it would be based on writing about content and relevance to the subject matter on the boards rather than just my ability to diet, stand in stripper shoes (aka drag queen shoes) and poise in a rhinestone studded bathingsuit. Dam, what's a girl gotta do? ??? Denny don't touch that one.....well, go ahead. I am intrigued by a man that knows how to handle his gun.
Barbie is the woman I've always dreamed of. An angel in the bedroom and a whore in the kitchen.

Ron can speak for himself, but 5 bucks says he thinks you're a punk bitch, too.
You've got a gig at Stratosphere? Not sure how long it's been since you were in the U.S., but working at 'the Stratosphere' isn't exactly the kind of thing one brags about.
And FAME...if only you knew just how pathetic that made you sound. That noise you just heard was people spitting water when they read your claim to FAME. FAME, lol.
Are you going to be working your boyfriend's booth at the O? It might be fun to stop by and meet a real live member of the Strat Pack.
Meet, DJ, I said 'meet' not 'meat' - so don't go gettin' your panties moist.
FAME. *snicker*

Ron, You sound like a stand up guy.
Translation: Ron, if JC won't let me hold his notepad, can I pretty please follow you around and listen to you ask figure competitors about their controversial quarter turns? Pretty please??? I'll get you in over at Tao! Please??? I'll even let you meet my boy.....err...... girlfriends!
but ill be at meet the Olympians, ill be there with Amrit Dhaliwal, a FAME Fitness model, see u then!
Oh, I can't WAIT to meet you now. I'm just dying for an autograph of "FAME Fitness Model". ::) - you're SO important, big fella. LOL

International DJ you can pick up the newest IRONMAN, on shelves now, to see my shot with the sexy, Krissy Chin.

Thank you Isaac-you are such a sweetie :)!
Plus, you do such fabulous work!!!!!! I can't wait to see the new IRONMAN with your fine work!

Boy, this sucks. I read the entire thread, and, not only do I still not know the identity of Malibu Barbie, but I found out that there's a 90% chance that I'm either a nerd or a turd :'(

(im gutted i wont even see all of the show Fri or Sat night bc i have to spin @ Stratosphere)
Spinning on the STRAP-O-SPHERE will do that to you.

It's so funny. Every Marc Thyssen post reads the same:
"Hey, hey, look at me! Look at what I've done! Come see why JC loves me and why you will, too!! You Give me a look, I'm the greatest of the great whatevers! I'm a club kid and you're not! Weeeeeeee!"
hahaha - priceless!

You poofs call those comments a comeback? oh please, u need to hang out in the spa together more often
You've massaged each other on this female forum for how many years now?? Tre? Be proud mate!
Maybe in ur jaded eyes, a FAME or Hawaiian Tropic girl is less beautiful than the Females BB's u like to wrestle.
Dina, what have you done with Barbie huh? you guys must be good mates

Thanks for verifying you're another user of women in the industry. At least your buddy tries to write them a check.

So shooting contra TFCD and giving all the shots to the model for her own use is being a user?
The girls i ask to shoot, shoot with me on that basis bc they like the quality of my work.
That goes for fitness, figure, bikini, Fame, Playboy or whatever models i shoot.
Jelena Abbou for one, asked me for un-watermarked images from our shoot so she could sell/use them.
Danae Oyler submitted our shots to Bodybuilding.com and won $ from that. Good on her.
Christina Lindley used our photos for her website & to get more print work.

I could go on...
JC has a pay site, and he shoots video. I dont. Thus thats the reason he pays. Pretty simple math huh Bob?
Most of you guys should pay, period
-
Title of the International DJ's next release: "GetBig's Most Pwnted".
The best part of all? Isaac treating this like a cage match and showing absolutely no mercy. What he alone is doing to DJ is GetBig's version of 'ground and pound'.

Would you like to tell us all how much you pay Female Bodybuilders to wrestle them Tre??
I've heard its good money, so it should be! Talk about inadequacies. I do hope ur not into that too like ur mate Isaac.
Now that would be something to put on Monday Night RAW! haha!
Dina he would probably only mess with you if you were a BB

The two women you posted are good models and make a shitty photographer look good. It's a reflection of the model, not the photographer. What's with you lopping everyone's head off in their photo? A little thing called COMPOSITION. Try it some time, you might have better results.
For you to take credit for Christina getting more print work because of your photos is beyond laughable. You're are as delusional as the day is long.

I've heard its good money, so it should be! Talk about inadequacies.
Our wrestling video talent earns anywhere from $100-500 per hour. The average take-home pay for a few minutes of work is about $250-300 (the models get paid for time on set; actual mat time in an hour might be 12-15 minutes) and the most we've paid is $1500 for a 3-hour shoot.
Bring your FAME date by and she can show us what she's got.

Dina's got me locked up. ;D

Wow the match has officially been stopped due to pathetic attempts to discredit another. Reposting from last night? You are a sad sad lass.
-

Why do you have such a hard time admitting that his off-stage pictures have no value?
Are you familiar with the American phrase which refers to "calling a spade a spade"?
Don't sugarcoat it - you admire JC's work ethic when it comes to contest coverage, yet you have zero respect for his 'work' when it comes to shooting models off-stage.
But you don't want to come right out and make that statement, because then he won't let you crash on his couch anymore at Musclesleaze Mansion - "Where model fee checks have the most bounce per ounce".

Just further illustrating the sad fact that you have no comeback thats all.
Tre, funny you delude yourself into thinking you're intelligent.
If, i shot Video & had a pay site. I would pay the models too. Just like my boy, Simple.
DUH!

Tre, i dont think wrestling women and selling it is something to write home about. But maybe thats just me

Your dumbass doesn't require a comeback. The more you talker the stupider you get. You tried to "own" me last night with those pics. Come up with some new material, come on there are more photos on my myspace page. Stop drooling over my profile photo and post some more of my photography.

Let me give you the Hot Tip!
Dont flatter yourself champ, some real ladies might be watching & it will do u now favours
Did you miss where i called u ugly too? haha!
Ur comebacks are as weak as ur fashion sense and ur boasting that u had a dinner with Dina! hahaha!
Made ur year didnt it? and she didnt even make it to ur bed....oh poor Isaac

:)

A question was asked and answered.
I thought you honestly wanted to know what women earned for wrestling video work with my company. I run a clean and honest business and have absolutely nothing to hide. People who know me know exactly what I do - unlike some people you worship, I don't run a bait-and-switch operation.
Oh, and I've never told a woman during the middle of a shoot that she would not get paid unless she took her top off for me.
Of course, you already knew that about your boy - I know he's not keeping any secrets from his DJ girlfriend.

That is good money!
So are you the only one doing the wrestling with them??
Have you ever got aroused in the middle of a wrestle? if yes, did you stop & how did you cope with it?
maybe u could make even more by going Pay per View

I don't know whether you know this but not many men take the time, every day, to have a cigar, glass of scotch, to talk to their best friend. That's not something most men have.
Pour a double Chivas Regal. If Menudo tries to pee standing up, come get me.

See you in a few days hot stuff!

Thanks for the idea little man. I have Mattel working on the Lebanese Barbie idea. Oh, course it won't be as spectacular as Dina. It would be impossible to recreate such absolute perfection. :-* I have a feeling what I actually should be saying is :-* my ass, but I won't.
-
TRW,
I was not saying anyone was "right or wrong" about participating in whatever it is they want to participate in this industry. What I was addressing to "Mac Daddy Investment Banker" was what I felt was SILLY in the industry. Please, I have no qualms about who takes pictures in their birthday suit or what you slip and slide around in while wrestle in the mud. As long as the women who is doing this is making a clear decision to do so and she is the one making the money to do in the process. Even "That Whore Barbie" edition gets paid. Shoot, who would I be to talk. Barbie has people around the world stripping her down naked and magic marking her body daily (how humiliating is that).
Love Ya,
Barbie
P.S. Your post the other day makes it hard to tease you in the normal fashion I enjoy so much.
-
That last post was for you Tre. Too much drinking and partying between posting don't mix. God, I love that aspect of the Olympia!
