It was and remains to this day, total bullshit. The fact that almost every publisher of adult magazines is pretty much out of business or irrelevant at this point is just desserts. The people that actually work at adult magazines (other than the fat cat owners who made their money years ago and don't really run the mags day to day anymore) are typically really low paid employees who can't get anyone in the office to cut a check anyway. Good luck getting your money!

I completely understand, but not paying the model in this case Nicole Graves is ridiculous! She did her job and has shot for all of the top magazines dozens of times and they have all paid her immediately or within a couple of weeks. Gallery is the only one who has flaked and it is almost going on a year and a half.
So I would at least like to get her paid as you can imagine! She works hard, everyone loves working with her, and often goes above and beyond the required shoot requirements to satisfy her obligations so this is retarded that they won't pay her at the very least.
Thanks for your input.
