Alrighty... I don't want to be the "nay sayer"
in the group here... but... I think that we should seriously all consider that
these girls have abandoned ship (and I would not blame them).
First of all... has ANYONE heard from them
lately?? Both of their journals haven't been posted in since April and
June... neither of them have been coming on the message board AT ALL
lately... I've emailed them a few times in the last few months, and never got a
response... and, now when you try to email them, there is an error message
about it being an invalid email address (yes sexi_neurotika... I got the same
message as you).
Secondly... the site was set to begin in May of this
year (at least that was what they told us months ago)... but, then they seemed
to struggle to find people who would "donate" their skills to the site
to help them get started (ie: webdesign, webmaster... graphic artists...) ...
yet, when my male counterpart offered to help them (for he is a self-taught
graphic-designing Nerd-God), they had NO idea what they wanted... and did not
know the basic needs for ordering a graphic to be made (ie: color pallet, color
numbers from their site, resolution needs and sizes, fonts...etc). And,
that is just a bad bad sign.
I am not trying to be a total bitch here or
anything... but, let's face the facts ladies... this was over before it began.
Unfortunately Rusty and Lola do not know what they are doing here.
And, that is not to speak poorly of them either! They are LOVELY
ladies! Smart... sexy... and fun! But, when you decide that you want
a website as a business, and you start taking applications, copies of IDs and
legal disclaimers from Models... you should have your shit together better then
they did.
Honestly, in this case, Models are the LAST thing you look for... not the
first. You should have your site laid out and ready to go... with your
main graphic(s), merchandising and basic advertising also ready to go.
This is all very unfortunate... I know that a lot of
passion and hopes went into the idea of Dynamite Dames (from all of us here on
the message board... to Rusty and Lola pushing their hardest to make it
happen)... But, sadly, in the world of making money on the internet, you need to
have a game plan and the basic knowledge of what you are doing, what it is going
to cost and how to make it happen.
So... I salute you ladies! You are all lovely
and unique... and I wish every one of you the absolute best. I encourage
you to seek out other sites like this one (and, yes, they are out there... and
no they aren't all "porn") and submit to their application
processes. Sites that already have a nice client base are especially
appealing because you do get paid for the first set you complete to their
guidelines.
Luck Love and Lollipops to you all.
Juice Box... signing off! (lol)
