The lazyness and practices as well as lack of good management skills would quickly have these guys filing bankruptcy. Sorry but running a web site with maybe 400-500 in overhead a month and paying for photographers and talent or just buying it from someone else in bulk is nothing like running a business with 1000.00 in rent, payroll, employees, quarterly taxes, maintenance, land lords, suppliers, shippers, customers in your face and scheduling.

Never talked to Ivy, Ellie, Punker or Vanilla but have read their posts and they are all very intelligent and classy. I have talked to Arika a few times and she is a very intelligent and level headed woman and was very impressed with her.

I am not really sure I can agree with you on this one




ohhh ok re-read, I think he is talking about people like VanessaG not the ladies who really are business here, correct?
I'm not sure who VanessaG is, but I do agree with what you said about most people not running a very tight ship. I'm not talking about Ivy, Ellie, Punker or Vanilla either. And I've met Kayla in person, and I know she's part of this business. What I'm talking about are the endless stream of "women" and "models" doing site promotion as if they're the ones in front of the camera AND the one that runs the site. 90% of the time it's the webmaster coming online as the model to promote his sites.
