I am not going to say anything negative about the original poster.
But since I feel strongly about this subject I'll just get this off my chest.
Kids, you can get any human being to do ANYTHING if you give them something (usually $).
The models that webmasters shoot (mostly young women) are someone's daughter, someone's sister, perhaps even someone's mother. Sure this all looks really cool to some of you. A young woman allows someone to deface her body and then it is displayed gratuitously in a public forum so everyone can comment on her physical features.
Well, I'm here tonight to stand up for this young woman, a young woman that probably 99.9% of you will never know. When circumstances force a girl to do a stunt like this you end up stealing something from her soul. Something far more valuable than the few hundred dollars (or whatever she was given) to indulge your whim. These images will take on a life of their own. She can never take them back.
You've captured her in her physical prime and defaced her, and what you have done will affect her for the rest of her life.
Sorry, but it ain't cool. Nothing about it is cool.
