Tell that to Abby Winters.
People who want to protect their brand -- people who HAVE a brand to protect -- sometimes opt for this. It's not what we choose to do, but I can see why people do it.
The main problem with it, I think, is that it takes a lot of time/extra staff to administer and can cause hard feelings/bad pr. There's a network of sites (the beautiful agony, i shot myself sites) that has turned me down as an affiliate because apparently I am too pornographic and hideous for them and I can't tell you how angry it makes me. On the one hand I can relate to people wanting to protect their brand, product, models, etc. from being misrepresented, etc. but on the other . . . it really fucking burns me up when *I* am the one being forced to audition and then am rejected. It's like, who the fuck do these pretentious fucks think they are?
I can see it both ways.
