So I finally took new pictures because I was getting sick of people showing up and claiming my pictures werent real because my hair looked blonde. Ive used my real pictures since about a month after I started, so Im getting a little annoyed with being accused of them being fake. Ive also heard someone else was posting with my pictures.. Im not mad about this at all, quite flattered, but either way it doesnt look good for me..
Ive also had alot of people tell me they prefer "camera phone" pictures better than professional pics.. Id love to know what you think..
I have posted with new "camera phone" pictures for the time being. Im not going to get professional pictures done everytime I color my hair.

Lets put an end to the use of fake pictures though, ladies. Its not good business practices.. Guys can tell and wont come back (if they decide to stay). Besides, I'd rather a guy show up because he like the girl he saw in the pictures (me) instead of a pornstar he thought he was gonna see...Just sounding off..

..... yes people claiming your pics are fake or saying they aren't recent is annoying. You can't please everyone and I won't go out of my way to try. I had an instance where I had taken some pics via my computer's webcam at home and  used them 2 days later in an incall and a guy stared at me and said they didn't look like me. LOL I wanted to tear his head off but I calmly said (as I gave a blank stare) "I literally took these 2 days ago with my webcam but if you don't think they are me please let me show you out". I think some give you crap to try to guilt you into a lower rate..... nah i'm sure of it. Bugging about pics over hair color is kind of silly also unless they too keep the same hairstyle for years.  I like the look of pro pics as long as they aren't overdone....I plan to get more soon.

About thieves well as long as there are lazy providers there will be ones that steal....i'll never understand how one can make money but won't buy a camera or a laptop with a nice webcam to take their own pics.  

I usually hear those who prefer camera/cell-phone pics because they look "more real" or they might think a girl won't steal another girl's camera/cell-phone pics but you better believe they do if they aren't watermarked..... don't put anything past someone who wants to make $$$$ off of someone else's image.

As some readers here know, I do pics on the side. My opinion is that every reviewer should be able to answer “Yes” to the “photo accurate” question. That’s the absolute minimum.

Hair color and a few other details aren't as important as, “Is it the girl in the picture?”  You can always write, “Oh, and my hair is red and short now!” If identifying tattoos are hidden by clothes or removed in Photoshop, no big deal, but if you have a lot of tattoos, say so.

As for camera phone pics, I’m not a fan and never have been. For not much more effort you can have much more flattering pics.

Oh, about watermarks (TrulyMsMocha's post), I find them really annoying. (And with a little patience, they can almost always be "removed.")

Lazy providers that steal pics aren't going to spend that much time to remove watermarks
Anyone that doubts a pic is me ill Gladys show them the uncropped version.

... neccessary. I didn't say I liked them....I don't want to HAVE to put any on my pics either. If they want to mess up the pic being desperate enough to try to remove it well good luck to them with that.

Yowza...I am sure its frustrating... but they are worth stealing.

There is nothing like the original though.

I think the preference to camera phone is that you get a more realistic idea of what to expect. On the other hand some professionally done photos can be quite misleading. Those professional ones often seem to lead to higher expectations than reality. Put it this way, if you look and compare reviews for those that have real photos, there is far FAR less disappointment it seems than the ones who use professional photo shoots (which can often be outdated anyways).

And yes hair color does matter. I admit to my own personal preferences, and have known many friends over the years who have had theirs. Ever seen a guy who would ignore a perfect 10 brunette in favor of a blond who was both bland in looks and personality? I have, and sadly must admit I have done the opposite. Let me just put it this way, first time I saw this ad of a girl with blond hair I paid no attention, yet then she posts an ad with this beautiful long dark hair...and well I will just leave it at that.


p.s. You really really want to know what we think? Smoking hot!

Thanks hun, I havent heard much feedback on them so Im glad to hear!

I think they look great Khloe!  Nice Job!
