I don't really care who I offend.))

but I have to agree with your post. The practice of photo shopping, and the extent to which it is done, seems to be getting worse and worse with each passing year.

Nice to see you posting though

And may piss off a few, if not many people.....but I have a question?  This may be a huge repeat...but I haven't been here in awhile....BUT!!!!   WHY!!!!    Are women using heavy photo shopping!  I have seen these ladies in person, and they look nothing like they do in photos.  Maybe I am complaining,  I do not photo shop.   But, I think it's not fair or appropriate.  When you get to their door, do they look like their photos?  What do you do?  I am seriously wondering what the gents think.  This post may be removed...we'll see.   I believe in being real.  Yes, I put on weight,  I lost the weight....I would never photo shop my body.   I am really confused....what do you gents think?   I am not putting anyone down particularly....  just,  don't get it...I apologize if this is offensive to anyone....I just have noticed things...seeing a someone in person, and then their photos....NO comparison...unless it's the face.....

It gets the guy in the door, but he doesn't go back. Just my opinion

The photoshopping is out of control. If I see a photo by Aldo Antonio or whatever I basically just ignore it. He's not the only guilty party, but he's the poster child.  

I have used several agencies and Indys in Atlanta and the ones that have impressed me the most with photos that match up very well is on the Indy side is Sabrina Star and on the agency side Atlanta Fantasies.  Some Indys have been close and a fair representation and some agencies who I will not name heavily photoshop and "trim a little fat" in their pics....find what you like and stick with it.

Gentlemen. And so they bite their tongue and have sex with the woman who is ten years older and 20 lbs heavier then her pic. Disgusted with their choice to screw this this mockery of a sham they hold their tongue  

Usually disappointed. True, meet and greets help alot !

I shared this with my buddy gambler privately... I saw a provider back in 2012 and another in 2013 the pics were so Photoshopped that I nearly fainted when I saw them. They were very nice ladies so I still wrote a nice review.

and I don't get it. Yes crop, blur or whatever but all the heavy altering of curves, features, skin, etc are out of control!

Khori,
Is photoshop destroying our body image?  

I can't agree more. It is a relief that a provider spoke on it. When I mentioned it a few months before, I got blasted. It is a major turn off to have the door open to that surprise. But in my few experiences, you go through the session with a positive attitude, and let the review reflect the truth. It is not fair to the man paying for an altered image. If I order a filet mignon don't bring me a sirloin.. the price is different and so is the quality! That's my take..

But Accurate, true to life photos and good service will get the repeat calls.  

And until more people start calling it out it will continue. Kudos to you for having the balls to say it.

Make up and lighting make a HUGE difference.   If you run into a local newscaster, you'll know exactly what I mean.  Many people do NOT look like their photographs

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I have noticed the increased frequency also. I've decided the more the lady's photo's are "shopped" then there is more for me to distrust about the accuracy of the photo.   I won't see ladies with significantly "shopped" photos.  For me, this is false advertising and a statement about the lady or agency's integrity.  

That's why reliable reviews are important!!!

Welcome back and ... of course I really appreciate you being who you are well you already knew that.

I'd think deception on that level would give her a bad reputation that not many gentlemen would go see  her in the first place. But, I guess she can catch noobs that way. Kinda sad. I'd feel ashamed and probably cry if a guy turned around and left after getting a look at me. LMAO

Providers using overly photoshopped photos is the equivalent to a client showing up with counterfeit money.  
Just like the provider who's been shafted/shorted/ripped off, she becomes jaded with new prospects.  
Clients who get the shaft w Providers using overly photoshopped photos become jaded with new prospects which reflects on me. Dealing with dudes that have a chip on their shoulder (and rightly so) makes things really hard and I just wish folks would play fair.  
Hopefully, I misunderstood your post if not, could you please clarify the association between telling the news on TV and selling ass in person, thx

All men want it's to get what they though they were looking for.....and when she looks nothing like the pic it's a little disappointing....(but I agree with my fellow hobbyist - you just kind of suck it up - no pun intended lol- and make the most of it....) however, like SE said....I will not return....kind of like the "fool me once....." Mantra... That's why I only deal with reputable ladies (Khori being one of them....) and reputable agencies like AF, GC, SE, PM - they stand for integrity in their business and that matters....great post Khori!  

ecause you are gorgeous as you are.  

photoshop takes it to a new level.  Most ad/site pics are professional with carefully done hair and "evening out" or better makeup.  Often, the girl stepping out from behind the door has far less makeup on and less of the glamour look.  I used to date some pageant winners so I like the contrast between the "go to prom" look and the "let's fuck" look, but some guys may expect the glam girl and be very disappointed.  That's why I enjoy seeing a girl mix in a few candids occasionally.  The contrast can be fun.  However, heavy photoshopping takes it to a new dimension.  That is IMHO a ripoff.  I've been fortunate enough to have experienced it only once, however.

IMHO photoshopping is NOT:  doing basic color correction, adjusting color temperature, black point/contrast, exposure and/or saturation, perhaps adding a vignette, even something as subtle as whitening the eyes.  These are all basics any photographer would or should do.  To me photoshopping is trimming and slimming the body, or removing blemishes/marks.   You can achieve so much in camera with the proper lighting, ISO setting, shutter speed, and f-stop (or aperture opening) that will give you depth of field and a nice background bokeh.

editing which become problematic, not merely photo shopping.  Small individual "improvements" wouldn't bother me, but that's not what Khori is referring to.  And many of us know which providers you are referring to , LOL.  You looked great at the M&G btw.

It is good to know that you will meet the person you on the photos.

TER doesn’t give you VIP for unapproved reviews. If you don’t include the called salacious details from a porn movie, time you spent writing the review goes to waste

Nicely said, but don't start writing like this on GD, I still have money on you for SPOTY, and well written, intelligent posts like this will knock you of the running in a heartbeat.

I have to say that I agree with you on all points.

I completely agree with this.  

Thanks! Keeping photos accurate is very important to me. Thanks again anonymousfun

Thanks everyone for the encouragement, and the answers.  I think we all agree,  HEAVY photo shopping is wrong and is actually cheating.

The question is really just are the photos a fair and/or accurate representation of the model?  The deceptive practices are varied but the result is the same, to fool the client.

I understand your point.  My point was that nobody looks as good in real life as they do with makeup and good lighting even without photoshop.  The Six O'clock news guys and gals are exhibit one with that.  Stuff that appears to be photoshop magic is really understanding color, lighting, makeup, setting, clothing and poses.  There are poses that girls with a little belly will look better in;  There are poses that less busty girls will look bustier than they really are.  A little back arch goes a long way....  

skills that read between lines, follow certain reviewers' consitency, and
above all use your own gut check and develop back channels ...  
I share your skepticim to an extent ... but ter reviews have helped
me over time; frankly it took me a lot of reading before I started
to be able to read them for their true worth ... there is a learning
curve I guess ...  

Lol @ gut shot. I have one. Also cellulite, no make up and stretch marks pics. I really do not want to surprise anyone when I open that door. I usually wash my make up before bed as well, so on sleepovers I prefer he's not surprised then either. Being a chubby girl, I do have some insecurities, but for me it's important to let it all hang out in my photos. Men that aren't into fatties can easily move on to the next ad, and men that love big girls will think I'm very cute. I'm considering getting professional photos, but I'm not sure if its really worth it for part-time/temporary escorting.

Wong answer. However, your comments along with the little history you have says enough t draw my conclusion, thanks girl

You don’t when to keep your damn megalomaniac mouth shut. You and your shit head idea of “spotty”, whatever the heck it was.

That myth died 3 decades ago. When was the last time you saw truth in advertising?

Good examples, too. Ive met Veronica personally, and though i havent had the pleasure with the other two yet, i Have seen their pics.  Ill have to watch for next meet n greet. Never thought id go.  But, reading your post-may reconsider.  

Khori,  
   It's great to see you back!  I understand a little editing for  
skin smoothing or blemish removal.   That being said, using photo editing to completely change a body shape or weight is false advertising.  I just can't imagine how nervous and uncomfortable I would feel if I was about to meet someone for the first time knowing that they're expecting to meet a twenty pound lighter version of myself.

Guilty, too many times to admit.  makes for very expensive blowjobs.

but my money is still on you for SPOTY, you simply can't help yourself. lol

Come to think of it, I may just borrow your question and pose it to the National Board.

A "momo"!

I googled that but dumplings and a company came up. LOL  Little help?

My hair was at my back and grew to my ass.....Plus,  I don't really wear a lot of make up.  My Hair now is super straight,  it's just that long.  My face is the same....If I looked different....well....I can't say anything about that....maybe,  LIKE ME,  you need glasses....I just got contacts....I'm blind as hell....take care...xoxoxox

Just saying it like it is...I'm not here to please all men....just the ones that want me...if you don't want me,  be on your way.  I mean no offense or ill will...I just don't give a fuck.  IF you like me,  FUCK me,  if you don't,  be on your way...OH,  did I mention,  be on your way?   WANT......DON'T WANT??????......you're decision.....  btw.....I am a cute hot FUCK....

I agree with you, although I'm not quite that ballsy to word it that way. But, it's true. Obviously there are a lot of men who like fatties because I got booked for the next two weeks within a few hours of my first review posting. LOL

Good post.

Brutally honest gotta love that

I understand where you're coming from, but doing that to a provider, she may put you on her DNS list and don't forget those BL sites.  

Personally I will turn right around, and I am not really that concerned about being polite, especially if it was a downright B&S.

As fot the  BL lists, I'll take my chances. Somehow I doubt getting put on a BL list by a known rip off isn't going to ruin my life.

There is no option but to walk out, going through with a B&S ROB woman only encourages her and other women to do more of the same.

The only question is whether to leave politely or not so politely, but dude you can't possibly be recommending going through with a session with a woman who has lied to get you in the door, simply to appease her into not DNSing you to her friends. That's about the most cowardly thing I have ever heard of. Please tell me that I am simply misreading your post. PLEASE.

For the record, I absolutely REFUSE to go through with a session with a woman who has grossly misrepresented herself to me. I further refuse to give her cab fare, gas money or any kind of cancellation fee, NOT A FUCKING PENNY, not if I know it was intentional, and you always know.

Now before the nice folks here start going off about what if you two just don't click and she is only slightly older/heavier or whatever than her pics. That's a completely different matter IMO. What I am talking about is outright fraud,not lack of chemistry, and I am not going to reward outright fraud with a single penny, and anyone who does, gives up his right to complain about it IMO, because the guys who don't stand up to it are a huge part of the problems themselves.

And she has us on her DNS list, somehow I don't think we get clearance to bang one of her provider friends.

If she is older and fatter to the degree that I feel deceived, yes I will walk and not leave a penny. OTOH if she is simply not as hot as her glam (not photo shopped) pictures, and is still obviously the lady in the ad, as long as I am still attracted to her I will go through with the session. After all, I don't really expect any woman to look as good as her glam shots.

What I am talking about is an intentional effort to deceive, we all know it when we see it, and I for one will not reward it, and I would urge every other guy here to do the same.

But like you said in your second to last sentence, what if she is older and heavier than her pics would suggest do you still walk?  

Perfectly said. Why I love you.  

The two photo shopped instances I told you about, I sure wanted to walk  

I didn't mean to start a crazy thread...although it's gotten there...every one has their opinion...and I totally respect that!   I just want the ladies who over shop it, to stop.  (That'll never happen)

get it, personally I do feel I like representing Ladies with professional photos, but our photographer I never allowed to edit the photos.  I did the editing myself and I am not Pro at it, but I do like adjusting the lighting to make it more balanced and to bring out colors.  I did take out tattoos if they were small for ladies discretion, I would tell Ladies if they did not want their tattoos showing in photos then they really needed to cover them up.  

And you're still wondering why you got blasted I'd wager?  

You are 100 % lying. You have put up fake reviews of well known providers and continue to do so. I have no problem tying in your "fake" handle and your "real" handle.
