This is only for people who are still curious of what my deal was with the whole nudes/reddit bullshit.

If you are gonna tell me to quit whining simply don't bother reading. I'm only writing this because people are still asking me why I've overreacted.


To fill those in who are still at loss of what happened here are the facts:

1. Old Westbury Gardens : [link] got featured on Reddit and also have been circling around 4chan.

2. Everything would have been extremely awesome, if some guy didnt decide to jack all my zivity.com pictures and upload them onto some site that anyone can access and post the link all over reddit and probably 4chan.

3. Zivity sets are copyrighted. You must be a zivity.com member to access these images. Zivity is a paid member only site.


THE THINGS I'M ABOUT TO STATE HERE ARE JUST FACTS OF WHAT HAPPENED. I'M NOT MAD OR HOLDING A GRUDGE AGAINST THIS PERSON ANYMORE, WE TALKED IT OUT, HE WAS RESPECTFUL AND UNDERSTANDING ENOUGH TO TAKE DOWN THE LINKS FROM REDDIT, EVEN THOUGH THE SITE IS STILL UP -__-. idk what to do about that.

REASONS WHY I GOT UPSET:

1. Main reason I was upset is because noone involved in the production of those images gave anyone permission to upload them anywhere else. Zivity signs a contract that those images are copyrighted to Zivity.com ONLY. Technically I could have cyan go sue this person but I don't want to bother with this and me and this person already made peace about it.

2. If I wanted my nude work to be public I would have done it so myself. I am fine with being known clothed. Yes I shoot for zivity because I like it. I enjoy it and I get something out of it. I told myself that If I'm gonna shoot nudes it'll only be if I get something out of it.

3. Sigh. I am trying to shoot for certain magazines / websites that want only "fresh" material. Girls who haven't been submitted to many places. Sets that haven't been seen. Thats why for now I've only been shooting with Zivity because zivity gives out opportunities for Playboy.com.


4. I DON'T WANT TO BE ANOTHER NUDE GIRL ON THE INTERNET. I shot nude photos (which I think were tastefully and professionally done) so that I have a portfolio to send out to PAID PUBLISHED SITES/MAGAZINES.


Thus why, once again they were ZIVITY EXCLUSIVE ONLY. -_-



And I basically freaked out, because I am very close to a very big opportunity and I dont want to lose that over something thats not even my fault.



I promise that once this thing hits off, you'll have all the nudes of me you want. But I want to shoot nude for stuff that actually matters and not be just another naked chick on the internet.


Honestly I posted the "I aint even mad" photo, because although yes I did get upset about this, I don't want people having this image of me that I'm some sort of a stuck up spoiled bitch. I'm not there are actual legit reasons to why I got upset. (Misunderstood Mitch lol)

But I took it down cause clearly people on DA don't have a sense of humor. They have a sense of art whilst looking at poorly GWC taken shots of tied up naked girls, but me putting a bit of humor onto this site is a COMPLETE CRIME.


Love me or leave me.

I love you all that support me, and believe me when I say it I appreciate you all. Thats why I try to reply to as many comments/messages as possible. (if I dont its simply because theres just so many and I do have a personal life to live)

Yes I am a model and all of that but I'm also a human, and I have a sense of humor, and if my humor is inappropriate then idk what else to say but I guess I lost a fan. I am not gonna all of a sudden become a stuck up model who is super serious about EVERYTHING. Thats not me. I am a little dork IRL and thats how I like myself.

Not much else to say about this.

Thanks.


Sigh.

Wow, this is the first I'm hearing of all of this. Sorry that had to happen to you. I've had my photos stolen more times than I'd like to count, I've even had people use my pictures and pretend to BE me on more than one occasion, which is always upsetting since they always seem to want to portray me as a slutty airhead. You have my complete sympathy and support with all this, you should get mad at people viewing pics from a paysite for free and illegally. Hell, I'm upset too, I've voted a lot for you on that site and spent good money doing it (well, it's mostly my husband's money, but still) so people seeing the pics and not even giving you any support for the great work you do is absolutely ridiculous to me. I hope it doesn't happen to you again, and keep up the work, you inspire a lot of people with what you do, me included.

P.S. My first Zivity set was accepted, so I'll actually be an active member soon. :)

People grossly overreacted to the "I ain't even mad" picture. You did nothing wrong, particularly considering some of the webcam photos I've seen posted on this site. Just a bunch of misguided artistic elitism. Cheers nonetheless.

As to the matter of the photos, it's good to see some clarity of thought rather than simple, misguided e-rage.

Okay, if I understand correctly, you got upset because someone basically stole your photos, which are your livelihood, yes? And then someone called you to the mat because you got upset at being robbed. Then the guy who actually did the robbing apologized and squared things away. Is this right?

I'd say, ignore the asshat and move on.

Old Westbury Gardens is the reason I looked you up at all. It's such a great image -- well composed, posed, good depth of field, color, expression -- love it.

It's too bad if this transgression were to bollux things up for you. I like all your work, and I think your cheeky sense of humor, like the squirrels on your ta-tas, just endears you more.

All the best to you, and I commend you for having your priorities together.
