It's really rare for models to actually blog.
Thus, a blog written in the model's voice is a tricky thing to do right. And it's risky to do it wrong.
You're doing it pretty wrong, because not only are you transparent, but you're choosing a model persona that is a very tired stereotype of a dumb blonde who giggles her way through life.
That can be cute when it's real. When it's transparently fake, it's not cute. A model who can't spell may be sexy. A pornographer who can't spell is just LAZY.
Meanwhile I am laughing quite a lot at "would love to see one of these guys who are harping on about how transparent it is to write a entry... wonder how they would make it so believable lol !"
For one thing, where did you get the idea that the only way to write a blog entry is to pretend it is the model speaking? It doesn't have to be "believable" if you are commenting on the model or the photography in some other, more natural voice. Like, say, your own. That makes it much easier.

See how much better you reply when your sober
I will get the model to have a dash at it and see if she comes up with something better...
But to some degree I still dont agree with you (oh no the drama) guys want the dumb blonde... yes the persona as been done to death... probably cause it works ;)
I replied to a few member emails in the same manner, and the guys loved it... they are buying custom sets on the strength of it... so obviously not so bad lol ;)
