You are by no means impoverished.

When we were first married my wife did nude modeling for life drawing classes. It payed very well. We were not impoverished either, btw.

I am in a self induced poverty. With all my debt and car payments im only living off a few hundred per week for gas and spending money, but here in Hawaii its barely anything (where a 3-bedroom ranch home sells for $500k! No..not exaggerating.). Im counting down the months till my car payments are thru and my poverty level decreases. Until then...I guess its a diet of spam and ramen.

Heh... well, it's tough to live on $30k/year in LA. And I'd guess 30-40% of the people at parties I attend are just as poor. 😛 But seriously, I've been living on Costco soup for the past few weeks... gonna go warm up some corn chowder right now...
 
Sounds like a freaky fetish deal - if you're ok with what types of people will be viewing you, then no prob. 300 bucks an hour sounds like a lot of dough, just don't degrade yourself for it now, you'll regret it. But it sounds like you're ok with this, so as long as everything is kosher with you, go for it, make some money and get yourself out of "poverty" 😉 good luck

There are a lot of people who have posed nude and get PLENTY of respect.

Example: Mike Meyers (So I Married an Axe Murderer) He's buck naked in that movie.

Ron Jeremy (TOO many porn movies) That guy gets PLENTY of respect.

Selma Hayak - Frieda (She's almost BUCK naked there and gets plenty of respect)

Mr. Bill Clinton - America knows that he didn't have sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky and that dude gets respect.

...etc...

Not respect from others (who cares what other people think)............ but if you can respect yourself then it's cool 😀

What good is having respect for yourself when you need respect from others to get along in this world??? An example: lets say a bum on the street has respect for himself, he doesn't do drugs or have sex with prostitutes.... he's not going to have respect from others and he's not going to move up in this world for having self respect. Get my point???
 
Thanks for the tips... plenty of sound advice. I have no future plans of going into politics (although at this rate, with the whole Arnold fiasco, it might actually increase my chances 😛 ), and I honestly don't feel this work is degrading. I'll ask for more info, thank you all for the feedback.

That's regular BS to get a girl involved, if you actually decide to try that you'd see an entirely different picture, so my guess would be no stay away from that!

Yah like sleep out on the street, or eat leftovers from a dumpster.. but nothing as bad as being tickled infront of a camera and 5 guys F@pping

Since the pursuit of material to F@p to is a constant preoccupation around here I find this judgemental,uptight stance rather odd.
 
I can picture it now.

Dezign and friend show up, the guy asks to take off the sweater and he'll add another 100 bucks, now take off the tank top and i'll add another 300 and so on...

These guys are con artists, they take advantage of stupid and/or greedy girls for a living. 🙂

prolly cause you are looking at the "F@p" as the meat of the comment, when you should be looking at the "Poverty"

Poverty is sort of a relative concept.She makes an ok salary but in LA it doesn't go far enough, she already has more than one roomate and has engaged in other cost cutting measures.Nobody works for free no matter what it is they are doing.
