P.S. Melissa, I used to be in a burlesque troupe and have a photo that was taken for a calendar we did posted on my MySpace... it cracks me up to read the really random and sometimes inappropriate messages I get sent when I use that pic as my 'default' pic... for some reason this whole thread made me think of that.
In this case, E, she seems to want the attention pretty bad. Then, when she gets it, faux modesty / retreat. I don't wish her any hard feelings, but come the fuck on...
The pictures didn't take themselves, anymore than they posted themselves online (wherever online) or started threads about themselves a few times.
Daddy issues.
Would I pull them from one place and drop them here? Probably not. But I sure as hell don't really blame Cats for calling her bluff.
Quite honestly, I haven't seen her other posts where this has been done because I usually don't pay attention to this stuff, nor did I see the other pictures... so I can't really comment on that. And I do agree that if the pics are posted online, and are accessible to everyone (no password, whatever), then they are fair game. Also I can understand how uploading a bunch of slighty risque self-portraits can seem like screaming for attention, as can constantly mentioning your own appearance...
As far as mentioning my picture, I was just commenting on my own experience with this sort of thing. And, regarding my photo, it's the only one like it I have posted and I put it there and I know people will see it (and I'm not ashamed of it in the least, nor am I attempting to get any sort of attention from it), so I don't get mad when I get comments on it. It's also a black-and-white, not-too-naughty, posed portrait that was taken by a photographer for a published calendar, and is labeled as such, so it's just really funny to me to get messages from men thinking that I must be some sort of escort. Even funnier that it's posted right next to a photo of me in my Redcoat Band uniform... now that's hott.
