A donation has been made in the name of Tawnee Stone to the Human Fund.

We can't *all* be the most beautiful girl in the world!

Show us yer tits and I'll tell you if you are THE ONE...

hahaha check it out, we got an email from this guy too
----------------------------
Dear xxxxxxxx,

I have hoped to contact you for some time. My name is Gavin and I am a quadriplegic. I am confined to a hospital bed twenty-four hours a day, everyday, and have been for fifteen years. I have finally made arrangements with my family?s help to come home from a nursing home where I spent several long years.

During my long residence at this home, both by days and nights were harried by calls for assistance, cries of anguish, pain, confusion and the occasional maniacal scream from the severely deranged. I was forced to live under these conditions as the home was divided by the need for skilled nursing care. A quadriplegic confined to a hospital bed with kidney, respiratory and circulation problems is classified as a skilled nursing patient along with Alzheimer?s and the mentally unstable.

I have literally spent years in a nursing home. In this time, books, music and movies were my savior. I had lapsed into a terrible depression due to my condition, situation, loneliness and isolation.

I soon became loved by the staff who often brought me a computer ?to pass the time.? I found that surfing the internet, as when I was very younger, could be an escape for me. They took me to places that otherwise I may never see and introduced me to people that both inspired, entertained and gave me hope for the future.

I am able to type with an adaptive brace on my right arm with an upside down pencil sticking out. I am able to type, though laborously, with the very limited movement in my right arm. I still have no movement in my hands or wrists.

An International magazine recently did a story on me and the many authors and celebrities that have been kind to me with several photos and text which may lend credence to my story and plea. http://www.americanwindsurfer.com/ma...issue5.5d.html

I have been written about more than once in our local paper and several times in world renowned magazine publications.

Discovering you and searching for your and a few other outstanding models? photos on the net has been instrumental in keeping me from feeling the dreaded loneliness that comes with someone who spends such long hours alone in the same room day after day. I have already served a term of confinement, and mostly solitary, exceeding that of someone who has murdered another.

I feel that searching for your beautiful photos has impacted my life greatly as I was very disturbed over the latest world news and your beauty made me forget everything else. I can assure you, that I would treasure your autographed photo/snapshot forever.

I am writing to plead with you to take a personal interest, just this once, in helping a fan truly in need of your assistance. My love for your stunning photos means everything to me and you are one of my favorite erotic models. You are soooo beautiful!

I am living on nothing more than my disability income and cannot afford even the slightest luxury. I am only surviving with my family?s assistance both financially and with my daily care. I have written and received photos from many celebrities and I so much want to add your autographed photo to my collection as I believe your beauty to be unforgettable! I am writing a few erotic models such as yourself that I find to have outstanding beauty?

I want to appeal to you, for your help in obtaining your autographed photo. I can assure you that I am sincere in my dilemma and request and hope that, just this once, you can find the compassion to help someone unknown to you that really admires and appreciates your beauty, mystique and talents.

Regardless of your response, I want to compliment you on your success and obvious modeling skills and wish you continued happiness and future success.

I have included a link to the International magazine article about me in hopes of verifying some of my story and enclosed a recent photo in hopes of putting a face to these words. I hope that you will consider helping me. I know that your autographed photo would transform what would be another dismal day confined to my room into a day filled with fame and happiness.

I hope to spend some time in the future admiring your autographed photo on my wall rather than mentally tabulating the various indigenous fowl visiting my bird feeder?

Thank you so much for your time and consideration; I understand you must be very busy. Your devoted fan in FL?


Sincerely,

Gavin

my reply:

How many chicks are you going to send this letter to???

by the way, I know Tawnee Stone, ring a bell?

--------------
his reply:

i have written a few web models that i really like including you and
tawnee. as well as pam anderson, bo derek, brooke shields, and on and on.
i COLLECT autographed photos from the people i admire. i have been written
about my many magazines and newspaper. i have a hard time typing so i tried
to write a letter to all the models i admire/adore and just change the name.
my walls are becoming covered and i do treasure every photo. i hope that
you and tawnee may one day donate an autographed pic for my walls as many
people come by to see them and i still say that you and tawnee are among the
most beautiful. please tell tawnee that i apologize to you both but my
biggest fault is fatigue not a lack of admiration/adoration of you both.
your devoted fan, gavin
---------------------
once again I reply:

Cool. Do you have a webcam?

I would like you to send me a picture of yourself standing in front of your autographed pic covered wall please. That would be great. I have heard so much about you from other models on the web, we all want to see what you look like in addition to the nice collection of pics you have.

Thanks.
----------------------

more to come if he replies :)

I have seen this same letter posted somewhere else about a month ago , cant rememeber where now.

I am writing this as I keep getting referred to this site and one called amateurmasters.com where someone I have written mistrusts me.

CLEARING THE AIR- I am GAVIN GROW, paralyzed in a motorcycle accident some years ago now. Was admitted into a nursing home for care. Family helped me get a computer so I practiced by writing fan mail to first all the comic artists I admired, then celebrities, sports stars, authors, etc. I am paralyzed from the neck down though I have gained some movement in my right arm whereby I can type using an adaptive brace and an upside-down pencil. I spend all day, everyday, in a hospital bed ,writing people that I admire or desire. All I ask for is an autographed photo, not phone calls, personal numbers, visits or website memberships. I have hundreds of photos that were given to me as well as autographed books, cds, baseballs, footballs, boxing gloves, dvds, etc. from celebrities in every genre. I have never sold anything besides a few pieces of comic art that I had multiple pieces of. I sold them 10 YEARS AGO to help get my wheelchair lift van. I HAVE NEVER SOLD ANYTHING ELSE! I HAVE NEVER SOLD ANYTHING ON EBAY! Also, the lady that said I was a paying customer that became too needy but has some sensation in his penis; definitely has me mistaken for some other person. I have never chatted or done the webcam thing with anyone. I don?t even own a webcam or a credit card. My only crime is not writing a new letter for each individual. It is way too exhausting typing for me to type a new letter for every person I admire. I SPEND EVERYDAY IN THE SAME BED AND FRANKLY I JUST ENJOYED RECEIVING PHOTOS FROM WOMEN I THOUGHT WERE BEAUTIFUL AND MEETING NEW PEOPLE. Each woman I wrote, like the previous I have spent time thinking about and admiring and keeping my mind out of this room. Honestly, do the adult model photos have any resale value? I will tell everyone in the adult modeling biz that if you autographed and sent me a photo, I still have it. Along with the over 600 autographed celebrity photos. Here is another webpage where an olympic gold medalist talks about coming to see me: http://www.americanwindsurfer.com/ma....4/gavin1.html and how his visit was. Some of you will say that I am just using your sympathy but I am simply explaining why I cannot afford or am unable to buy his/her autographed photo. And yes, I still can?t spell quadriplegic (4), nevertheless, a quadriplegic I remain. I am not talking bad about anyone that has mistrusted me but I must say that if I have written to you more than once it is obvious that I visit your website regularly. The letters I have written to the women in the adult modeling business are extremely flattering and were meant to do three things. Introduce me to a woman that I thought was very beautiful or sexually attractive. To show another person how good they can make someone in my position feel. And to obtain a photo signed by a woman that I have longed for or fantasized about . The photos I keep in albums which I treasure. I have 15 albums now! Where would one of your autographed photos have a better home? In my albums, treasured and shown off for a lifetime? I cherish these albums and show them to visiting nurses and people I have met through my writing. Many celebrities and book authors don?t doubt me and have come for visits. I am very lonely, I would welcome a visit from anyone I have ever written. I AM TOO TIRED TO KEEP PECKING AWAY. Those of you that remain unconvinced; come see me. Maybe seeing me you will feel bad and make a good friend in the end?

Sincerely,

Gavin Grow
P.S. I am going to save this explanation in my documents so that I never have to type this long again?
I never received a photo from Ms. Stone.
Last point- "It's just and autograph, a 50 cent photo and 50 cents in postage." I don't get complaints or mistrust from actors, actresses, sports stars, astronauts, authors, directors, presidents...only the occasional adult model.

LOL!

Great thread.

:1orglaugh

Ouch Steve Karma is a bitch.....Make it up to this guy....he deserves it. You´re known for being a generous and standup
guy. Give the guy a break that´s the least you can do man!

DynaMite :2 cents:

lightspeed are a bunch of fuckwits,

don't post personal letters you stupid shit.

wait till you become a fiveaprojapllogici and sending emails to a pornographer like me, I'll spit in your face dick licker!

I don´t think so, check out the guy´s site man. I believe it´s
for real!

DynaMite

I have a portuguese amateur site, www.amadoraspt.com , and
I got a very simillar mail from a guy , he also attached a newspaper story about him, everything looked true. So this shit really happens. But the guy who wrote to me actually wanted to have sex with one of the girls because he's a virgin. If anyone wants to have sex with him I'll give you his contact.

Ohyay....... the ghost thread that will not die.



As I said many moon ago.... just send the guy a signed pic and put this issue to rest. Personally I would have tried to arrange for Tawnee to go see this guy in person, then alerted the media to it..... might even have made "Xtra" and "Entertainment Tonight"...who knows?
"popular porn girl show's compassion"..... I like it.

IMO this guy is making a living out this kind of shit and selling the signed photos on auction sites

I'd be more convinced of that if you had some actual proof to offer.

I think my idea of doing something nice for the guy while getting some almost-free publicity out of it is the way to go. And so what if he sells the photo? Big deal, it's still more publicity for Tawnee and LS.

wicked... dudes got a mullet.....

CD,

Do a google search for chunks of the original form letter - this guy is a scammer. He takes the stuff that's sent to him and sells it on Ebay. I linked to a page or two when this thread came up the first time.

hmm, I have put off replying to this thread and I honestly don't know why I am but here it goes.

My husband is disabled. He was on his motorcyle comming home from work one night when a drunk driver hit him side on and threw him across a motorway and into a brick wall. He was in a coma for three months and when he came out he he couldn't walk. He spent a year in a wheelchair and being told that he would never walk again.

He is a bullheaded man, so he wouldn't take that as a final answer and convinced them to try physical therapy. Luckily for us both he did learn to walk again. The problem is that he is left with extreme pain when he does walk, and he can't do it without two crutches. In addition the circulation in his legs is so poor that he has developed extreme non-healing leg ulcers in his legs. These are like hot pokers all the time.

He went from being a well known print journalist in London to a man who finds it near impossible to leave the house without being on an electric scooter (he refuses to go back in a normal wheel chair).

All of that and he is one of the lucky ones. There are so many people that go through their existance trying to squeak out what little bit they can while they lay there just waiting to die. I always cared about the disabled before but since marrying my husband their treatment has become so much more important to me. Largely because I see every day how difficult things are for them.

So, with this whole thing I am left in three minds.

Firstly, why post the letter here? If you felt sorry for him why use the word pathetic? I am not attacking, just encouraging a rethink next time.

Secondly, even if it isn't real what do you lose? Like someone said, send a clothed pic with a stamp on it. The worst that happens is you are out a pic.

Thridly, If it is a scam then the guy behind it has recived all my indignation for taking advantage of the disabled and making their status in soceity all that more difficult.

HAM!

Gavin,

If you are reading this thread email me: [email protected] . I'll give you a free pass for life to my website www.NakedCollegeGirls.tv . Whether you've sold things in the past or not doesn't matter to me. Most of the people on this board would do the same thing.

I personally do not think Lightspeed was making fun of you. I talked about you to one of their staff even before this letter was posted.

When you email me I would appreciate if you gave me your home phone number. I'd like to say hello.

Thanks,

Donovan Phillips

lightspeed, i have gotten that exact email from "gavin" VERBATIM once a year for the last four years for my amateur site ambersplace.com, i shit you not. same ip sends them every time.

i have never responded, but a few real amateur girls i know have and yes indeed, their shit ended up on ebay.

Is this just rumor, or is there proof of that?

i will see what i can dig up for proof (auction links etc). gavin may or may not be real, but amateur girls are flooded with emails like this regularly. my point is, he has been using this same exact text for YEARS, this shows me there is no thought or heart put into the individual amateur/camgirl he is contacting. if he thinks so highly of the individual girl he is contacting why is he spamming the same "form" to everyone?

http://www.google.com/search?q=My+na...a+quadriplegic

He's a copy and paste master! :)

Check out this....seems like the guy really is a scammer.

DynaMite :eek7

standing :disgust

That is more cruel than making fun of the letter in the first place.
I know those types of slips happen and all, but for a dissabled person they just pop right out of the sentance.

In regards to the form letter. Well that is a no shit remark. I personally get asked nearly once a week still and it has been over 18 fucking years. I used to get asked often as many as 8 times I day when I was more social or attending highschool. If I could of just had a pre recorded message that would respond whenver that stupid pause in a conversation took place and the curious person says, " May I ask you a personal question?" (hint this always is followed by "what happened". I would of done it.

It is bad enough being dissabled, let alone bed bound. Sure being in a wheel chair does have a few perks. You can stare at breasts all day and the women do not care, they are at eye level after all. Hugs are also great by women as they have to lean over to do it and you get a face full of titts. Not to mention women like to sit in your lap. Yet fuck it is not easy, fun, or even some thing most people live through. The vast majority of us will attempt or suceed in suicide, or just give up and let a condition kill us.

It also should be noted that many therapists; social and physical, will push you to try and write such letters and such. They feel it is good for the soul and spirit. Then such letters are often more of the form variety, it is a tiny bit easier to take then hand doing every single one, we deal with enough rejection and failure already to not have to deal with even more from unanswered correspondances that we put a great deal of time and energy into.

Onto the scam. Ok so he may or may not sell the stuff. Personally I would give a rats ass if he did, and assuming he does good for him. Do any of you know or understand how dissability checks work? I do, and it sucks. First your income is based on what state you live in and the typical income level of people in that state. I happen to be somewhat lucky since I am in California so it is on the higher end. It still would never ever pay damn near enough. My SSI and SSD monthly income would be around a staggering 600.00 a month. Try living off of that sometime. If you decide to try and do some type of work assuming you can, they deduct 1.00 for every 2.00 you earn. If you happen to earn enough so that there is no check 1200.00 in my case, you loose your bennifits which often can take two to three years to regain. Not to mention they drop your medical coverage or give you shared costs. Then to top it off most of the insurance (its mostly medicare) does not pay for shit. The majority of prescription medications are only covered if your in the hospital and they are generics, you only get a new chair every 5-7 years, 1 catherter per month (they need weekly changing min.) and worse.

So if he is selling the stuff on ebay, so fucking what. It is a good way to get some under the table survival money. I seriously doubt he is living it up as a scammer. What would a autographed picture of someone famous fetch anyways. 35-125.00 High end if they were certified originals. Oh yeah he is making some serious coin. Yup Im sure he can get so many well known celebrities people will pay good money for to earn real money. Give me a fucking break. Some webgirl may fetch 10-20 bucks or so, and a real celebrity upwards of 125.00 (which there is a limited number of in the first place).

Damn at times you all surprise the fuck out of me.

ICQ me later today please. 147479144

gavin here again. whoever jayjay is, he's just full of shit. glad we can speak candidly here. check ebay for any sales from me ever. if you just want to make up shit about someone, pick someone else please:ak47:

This is too funny.
:1orglaugh

anyone that ever reads this, put yourself in my position. imagine defending the fact that you are a quadriplegic. hilarious if you think about it. i commend the fellow that, through therapy, can walk again. i have been through rigoress pt which enabled me to gain some movement in my right arm. not my hand or wrist though. last defense of myself... i hope...:BangBang:

Dude, get Dragon Naturally Speaking. Can't believe nobody has hooked you up with that yet. It's $150 or less.

agreed

un fucking believable isn't it? Pisses me right da fuck off :ak47: :feels-hot

whoever crazynakedchick is that is either a mistake or an outright lie. who sent me photos that ended up on ebay? if they have sent me a photo i can produce it very quickly and if they have not i will know. i have an inventory list of everyone i have written and the result, dated. my whole idea is to have a photo from everybody that i think is somebody. i wouldn't part with a one of them because how then could i replace it? how do you people come up with this shit??? i will be doing a website soon with all my photos scanned in for everyone to see. all board frequenters please keep track of all the bull-shitters because they will all be pulling their foot-out-of-their-mouth when i get to show all my photos... too bad there is not a way to gamble on this...

Gavin...

Post several pics of you with todays newspaper in your hand, ooops, uh, on your chest, where it shows the date and I will be the FIRST to send you $100 bucks, hell maybe more.

Until then, this is just TOO DAMN FUNNY! :1orglaugh

WTG Gavin... nice hobby.

Send Gavin the DVD player.

funny, i'm not lonely at all today... i would rather have found out about this board some other way then defending something obvious to anyone physically meeting me. here is yet another web page of an international magazine, written by an olympic gold medalist, describing his visit to my home. http://www.americanwindsurfer.com/ma....4/gavin1.html i want to have famous people come by to meet me and i want to have the largest collection of autographed photos ever. i'm worn out; long day of defense...:sleep

Something to think about. Quadraplegic people don't work. The government gives them fuckall to get by. And in most cases insurance refuses to help. So maybe aquiring photo's and selling them helps him make ends meet. If in fact it is true that he sells these pictures, I think it is an ingenious way of getting extra income. Either way just give the guy what he wants. Hell, someone show him how to build a tawne avs and supply him with the content. That way he will always gain some extra cash flow, and if it does not become profitable , like most avs', at least he has something to keep him busy.

In my own experience every disabled person I've met has one MAD horny streak in them. Whats up with that? Even cartoon quads are horn-dogs. Just watch John Callaghans Quads. I fucking love that show.

I don't really care if he uses form letters. If I had to type one key at a time with an arm that barely moved I'd use them too. Hell... I use them now and I'm able to use all my fingers and type faster than anyone I know.

As for selling pics. How cares? How much do you think an autographed photo of Tawnee Stone would go for? I'd give a quarter. Before getting all riled about him "selling things" use a little brain power. How much financial gain would he receive from an autographed photo of a virtual nobody?

He emailed me and I gave him a membership to my site good until 2010. It would have been even longer than that but CCBill's manually adding feature ends at 2010.

As he says, he's lonely and bored. And if he's a scam artist? Big deal! At most he'll download a GB of date over the course of a year. How much does that cost? It costs me 50 cents.

gavin, i cannot prove any auctions belong to you. true, your name is not on any auctions so i retract that statement. i can only hope you don't auction under other names.... :P

check your outbox for my amateur email address, you will see you have emailed me many times....the last being about two weeks ago. there is no way any webmaster is going to take any copy/pasted email seriously, especially with text four years old. if you have an easy way to truly personlize your emails to each person you contact i would suggest doing just that. when we open our inboxes we have no idea who is lying to us, and when 30-some girls that are friends all get the same exact email what are we supposed to think?
