A week in the life of…
This week has been fairly typical.
In no particular order we’ve had:
1. A model digitally alter and publish one of Rich’s (kick ass) photos of her, despite knowing she was breaking the terms of her modelling agreement, despite being expressly forbidden to modify the photograph and after she had asked Rich never to publish it (and no, he still hasn’t.)
2. Rich was called a GWC by a second model who was asking for a shoot, plus I was called a perv who liked her husband to spend time feeling up other women, all because I politely pointed out that it is our policy not to let models’ photographer-boyfriends act as chaperones (largely because they invariably rip off Rich’s work, although I didn’t say that.) The photographer-boyfriend then proceeded to spam us, constantly asking for bookings with lurid descriptions of how his girlfriend played with herself. Did he think that insulting us would somehow result in us gagging for a shoot with his girlfriend? What kind of gentleman makes his living by selling his lady in that way? The mind boggles.
3. After putting up a fairly innocent picture of myself blogging nude a week or so ago, I have been asked how many times a week I have sex with my husband, asked to describe in detail varying intimate parts of my anatomy, two photographers have sent me explicit photographs of themselves naked, and one photographer has tried to trace where I live and where my kids go to school.
And do you know what?
THIS IS A NORMAL WEEK.
At what point did we accept this as typical behaviour? At what point did we learn to accept this at all?

Lastly, despite not putting our real surnames anywhere on this web site but thanks to Google’s sooper-dooper new search algorithms which detail everything about you including your inside leg measurement, this blog has now been discovered by some of our day-job resellers. I’m now getting lots of flirty emails with kisses attached. Not quite the marketing tactic I had in mind, but hey, times are hard and we must take what publicity we can get. I’ve decided I don’t particularly care as long as they keep buying our software.
*****Welcome, day-job resellers!*****
We love you! Please visit more often! Pretty please? I promise to put my photos back up?!!! (Actually thinking about it, maybe sales will increase if I delete them all. Whatever works, you know?)

I didn't do it!
Sorry, I always get the guilt complex when someone talks anonymously about the stupid things people do.
But I do feel bad that I made mention it had disappeared.
No worries Dave! You didn't do anything wrong. At least you now know why it disappeared :-)
I would like to categorically state that I do love receiving photographs normally. I think I just had one of those Talking Head Once in a Lifetime "How did I get here?" moments. Guess I only had myself to blame really.
Well welcome back anyways! I just started my blog and haven’t received any of the attention of you folks but you can keep it. Too bad about the image, I liked that one, also liked the one of you and your girl at the beach. But you need to be safe and keep your kids safe. There’s all kinds of people out there most of them are nice and support your work. Have a good one.

oh my oh my oh my. Would I be wrong to take comfort in having company in the land of troubles? Of course, you as usual allow us to share them in a totally hilarious manner.
To paraphrase, everyone in this world is a bit (or more than a bit) weird, except thee and me, and now I'm more worried about me than thee.
Goodness, sounds like my week was miniscule compared to yours. Glad you're back at this thing again.

Your absence became more unsettling by the day. Quite happy to see you back.
WB to the wonderful world of blogging, you were missed (which is better than mist - see Dave's (S, there are so many) photo in the "Fearless" post).
Sorry you've had a "typical" week, hope next week is better.
Yay, Lin is back!!! It was just not the same without my Daily Lin.
Ugh. What a list of gutter acts. You have just inspired me to write a post on my appalling time in the nuclear lab. We should all list the atrocities we suffer on a daily basis to provide, as Stephen says, company in the land of troubles.
For example, there's the perv on deviant who has been sending me notes asking whether my grown son sees me nude, has ever seen me nude, and whether I see him nude.
Joy in the morning!!!
Welcome back, Lady of the Fine Arts Nude Blogs!!!
This is a note for Michaelv. Where might I find your new blog? My friend Joe and I are also parents of a new baby bloggie.
I'm truly sorry for your trails and tribulations but HEY my Babe is back. I surely will notice a brighter glow from the east in the morning.
It must be scary to try and separate your personal lifestyle and your professional life. I hope the repercussions are not great.
"At what point did we accept this as typical behaviour? At what point did we learn to accept this at all"....Man this is a question you could probably write a years worth of posts.
Hey day-job resellers - these people are the real deal. Be glad that you are doing business with them and not some false - fake people that don't care about their customers.
As I'm writing this I'm watching a great show about Otis Taylor - I love the blues.

Thanks for all the kind words folks! Much appreciated :-)
Dr L, Michael's blog is linked from our blog roll on the right. It is

I'm sorry to hear about all the stupid things people have been throwing at you both. I'm often stunned by how rude and inconsiderate people can be at times. I've gotten quite a number of emails, comments and requests as well that left me shaking my head wondering about the fundamentals of human intelligence. Don't let it get you down. There are plenty of people out there who do appreciate and respect the things you do!
Welcome back!!
"....sorry for your trails and tribulations."
That was supposed to be trials – not trails.
Too much alcohol sure makes one look dumb. It proves again that I shouldn't drink and write comments.
Actually you were right the first time. I kinda preferred trails, as in entrails. It was that kind of a week.
