We couldn't decide if she was a lunatic or a hooker so we'll include you in the voting. I do know she nailed the concept in this set.

    good shot.
    I like the #1, and the one B4 last one.
    The rest would be good for herself (the model)

    Thanks Kombizz.

    JM I did all these blurred bkgs just for you and Diva. (Oh yeah - I did see what you did - the images aren't bad either - Laughing.gif)

    Diva, I find that concepts are like jokes, if you have to explain them, they just don't work. Sorry I missed the mark, at least for you.:cry

    I'm trying here, I really am. And I do appreciate the blurred out backgrounds thumb.gif But:

    - they're not "pretty" model shots
    - they're not "sexy" model shots (yeah, she has tits and a zipper, but so what - that does not make them sexy without something else going on)
    - she's not trashy enough to read "hooker"
    - it's not styled enough to be cosplay
    - blue lips make no sense in any world OTHER than cosplay
    - she has very little facial expression in any of them except the ones which look like the idiotic faces my 16yo and her friends make when doing snapchats and selfies

    All of which leaves me headscratch.gif and thinking "wtf"???

    As I said, Diva, I obviously didn't hit for you with this set and I'm OK with that.

    The "concept" was disheveled street person. It wasn't intended to be sexy or even "model pretty". It was intended to be the morning after the night before.
    The last one is obviously an out take that I posted as a joke. I encourage models to goof around during test shots. I find it loosens them up generally.

    Anyhow, dems da reasuns. Mileage may always vary but I like what she did.

    Ah, ok - that enlightens. The reason I didn't get that is that with fresh makeup and blow-dried hair, and a pretty conservative dress she doesn't come over to me as disheveled. And I still don't get the blue lips rolleyes1.gif

    Actually Diva, your question tells me you have just not spent enough time around derelicts and hookers. I was in LE and saw a bunch of both. Laughing.gif

    Thanks JM. Interesting stuff. As for me, I'm now very interested in anything that's not generic swimsuit/fashion. After 100 or so of those, that's enough.

    You could always try nudes. I'm sure many here would be happy to critique! :D

    Steve, being classically trained (read really old) these just don't hit the mark, sorry.

    sorry, I'm with Charles ont hat one.
    Not even due to classical training (which I totally lack), but it doesn't scream the intended concept to me.
