Thank you for your input Mr. Money.
I do appreciate the ethical quandary I am asking all of you to step into as I solicit your advice on something that can indeed be viewed as scumbaggery -- or at the very least douchebaggery.
To the extent that there are exonerating circumstances, I would point to my respecting the wishes of the one starlet who did respond to my inquiry about an ex post facto model release. The reality that the rest ignored my request gives me a little moral latitude I think.
And, of course, the starlets are not going to be revealed in a light that's appreciatively different than depictions a hundred times over of a similar bent.
Thanks for nudging me toward Google and legal counsel. I've investigated both to little avail thus far, which is why I thought this forum would be a possible source of information that was tangible enough to be helpful.
While the advice has been received in the warm spirit in which it has been extended, I still feel frustrated by the lack of parallel circumstances with resolutions I can interpret as green for go or stop right there.
It's my hope that perhaps there are occasional visitors to the forum who might not have read our exchanges yet and who might bring something more concrete and less hypothetical to the discussion -- though I do value the hypothetical greatly as well.
