semiretiredpunk:
Yes, keep trying more sets. I never get tired of seeing them from such a beautiful model. smile
marvel:
Don't give up, hon. You're beautiful inside and out ♥
violetred:
you do look great in that set! hope you are having a good day! smile
desdmonia:
don't let the critique get to you. YOU looked beautiful in the set. honestly i think the biggest factor nowadays in sg land is the creativity and perfection of the theme. it sucks, because not everyone has access to kick ass locations. but i think you will make it someday, you are beautiful and have a stunning personality, so dont let it get you down! biggrin
giggles:
don't let all the comments get to you
nacho1:
i loved your set!! who cares what those other folks say!! dont give up!! you are rad!!
elipsis:
youre a beautiful lady...
and i know you'll be pink one day...
but backdrops arent good, i learned that with my shower curtain background... tongue

and i totally cried when my runaway bridesmaid set didnt do well...
i was super bummed... because i got a photographer and a theme and everything...
but it always comes down to the little things you first dont think about...

if you are ever in california, id shoot a set for you... smile

just keep your chin up... kiss
tweedle:
you know, sweetie, you wanted it to focus on you and your modeling...and I think you did a great job of doing that, and you DEFINITELY have the modeling thing down.

in every last one of those pictures, you appear comfortable and confident. Which I know, isn't the easiest thing to do!

I also know how it feels to be so hard on yourself...my first set hasn't even come out yet, and I already am pretty down on myself about it.

You will learn from every set you do, I'm sure, and I think you've already got the hardest aspects of modeling down.

I could go on...because I think you're amazing!

Hope you are feeling better
kiss

Background???????????? Was there background in ANY of your sets..... All I saw was you. Could not get past the nakedness....... And what GREAT nakedness it was smile

This stuff is ALL so subjective, really had to tell what some people will like and what they won't. You have all of us wrapped around your finger, it is just the rest of the site that we need to get there..........

Keep the chin up, and the nakedness coming. We will convert the rest of them one picture at a time love
luther:
lady, keep trying. you're gorgeous, and look amazing in that set. which means you can look amazing in future sets. don't give up!
wsoxfan:
I feel terrible that your set didn't measure to certain standards. Believe me, It couldn't possibly have to do with you as a model. I've mentioned several times to you in the past that I didn't and probably never will understand the criteria for a set to go pink.

I know you're too down right now to think optimistically about doing another set. That's natural right after the results of Stormy Weather. I'm urging you not to give up. After time passes, you'll become more energized and will hopefully tackle plans for your next set.

For what it's worth, I think you're absolutely, amazingly beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, you already ARE a Suicide Girl.
wsoxfan:
You're welcome. There's plenty of time to consider your next theme, etc. My friend Lyrical told me an idea she had a while back for her third set. I don't remember what it was exactly, but I do recall that it sounded great. She never followed through on shooting the set. She's not into SG any more these days. We just e-mailed each other yesterday. She lives in England now. Next time I hear from her, I'll try to remember to ask her what the theme was.

Good luck on the move to NC. I believe you mentioned a while back that the city you're moving to is pretty far from Mooresville, where my family lives. I don't have plans to get down there any time soon. Money issues mostly. Fortunately, they're all coming up her for 4 days June 11th. My daughter and son in law have a wedding to go to here that weekend. My daughter is coming back here by herself for Father's Day.

What I'd love to do someday is figure out a way to gat together somehow when I do manage to get down there. I'd be thrilled to meet you. It's not something that I see happening any time soon though. Maybe someday. That's assuming you'd be okay with meeting me.
cannabisia:
I'm glad you're not giving up!
jstduckie:
thats the spirit.....so i need to add....."gutsy"....to the beautiful, and incredible smile already mentioned...
ok....done wink biggrin
toribell:
Aww, sorry about your set. I've gone through the same thing with a couple sets I submitted and took down. Have you tried working with a staff photographer? I think that increases your chances a TON.

Loves!
phrogg:
Personally I liked the simplicity of it and that the background enabled me to focus on you! I had actually guessed your rationale for having a simple background, and it works for me. Oh well, I think this set certainly has gotten you a lot of attention and at least another legion of fans. And HEY, this was anything but a waste of time!!! kiss
tireoghain:
You know what sweety, take yourself out into nature with some lights, and a photographer and get snapping. The criteria for acceptable shoots here is a bit odd considering some of the most successful sets have been very prop-centric (look at some of Nixon's ones), so a Dryad in amongst the trees... That's not too much of a cliche is it? I liked Stormy Weather, for what its worth.

reject_jeff:
hey you are a amazing women you are beautiful, the set might not be the one that gets you exepted as an Sg.
but at least you learned from the set, life is just learning experiance after another. you will make it as an SG kiss
panda_love:
Awww Dryad, you're beautiful no matter what! Even though this is an experience that brought you down a little bit it's ok because you have your friends here to catch you when you fall smile We love you all the time, we love you no matter what and we will always support you to be an SG cause we want you to make it on the top! (It's always better with girl on top anyway wink ) Hope you're feeling better gorgeous lady! kiss
fisherman404:
Do not give up!! You have something and it's only by trial and error that you will succeed. Think of it as school fees. Having said that you are incredibly brave to put yourself out there for all to see and comment on, but that's what the site is all about and I applaud you for it. The very best of luck and I have no doubt you will succeed smile smile smile
billytheseal:
Did like the set, and it's always hard when you create something and it doesn't turn out as well as you hope.

hang in there though, you're far too amazing not to be a suicidegirl soon
tweedle:
you're very welcome! ^__^

Of course, that's not a problem... want the tripod too? I have another lens that's more appropriate for set shots however I don't have the tripod mount for it. The lens is heavy so you're not supposed to use the camera body's tripod mount point with it.
quietdecedence:
My Dear i loved the set it was clean and simple there wasn't too much going on in the background to distract you from the subject of the photos. You are awesome and a wonderful person who shouldn't cry just because you didn't fit into someone else mold. But i am glad you did get brightened up and had an enjoyable time next time it will be even better than this one and besides there are a lot of us that do love you and think highly of you blush

We'll be back a week from Saturday.
