kind of glad this is out in the open - Dawson Miller is owed the same $2,500, Jewel is owed $2,500, Crissy Snow is owed $2,500 - with Dawson they've literally pulled the 'check is in the mail' routine on her and said they sent it to the wrong address and they were re-sending to her correct address - of course no check ever got to her new address.
but who i really feel sorry for is this girl Brandy, she is last year's Girl Next Door of the Year winner, Melissa Midwest was GND of the Year a few year's back too - anyway Gallery had ads all over the Net and on their website for their GND of the Year contest - winner gets $25,000. Brandy won - when she found out she was thrilled. She works as a computer whatever, putting together systems for offices, she's not wealthy, probably makes 40K a year and when she knew she had won $25,000 she went and renovated her little house knowing she had won $25,000 from what she thought was very established mens magazine. She hasn't seen one dime from them and it's well over a year now. The Orensteins should be fucking ashamed of themselves - it's bad enough they take advantage of photographers but not paying the models who take off their clothes for them is reprehensible. These people are loaded - even with the magazine biz hurting - these people have published tons of different mags for decades, all filled with ads for phone sex, porn sites etc plus the magazine sells for 10 bucks on the newsstand. I'm going to file a complaint with the Attorney General of New York for her - you can't fucking run a $25,000 contest and then not award the prize to the winner.
