Avatars that look nothing like the model

One model with a pretty high camscore has this picture of "Gossip Girl" actress Leighton Meester as her avatar:

I wonder how many people recognize the picture and point it out in her room. Maybe it's an inside joke or something, but if she actually wants to fool people with this picture instead of putting up her own face, I think that's pretty lame. I wonder what she does when someone wants to see the tattoo on her back. :|

Says "what tattoo? Oh, a swallow just flew past the camera as the photo was taken :whistle: "

First the avatar:

and the reality! Complete with a few lounge trolls. They had the poor woman doing 30 odd jumping jacks before I got there.

Jupiter why blinds us? Do you hate us or something? :lol: No thank you NEXT!

I think it's kind of horrific that we're being so publicly cruel about this. All webcam models deserve our respect, and just because maybe her look isn't 'your' thing or you don't find someone attractive doesn't mean she needs to be made fun of in a public forum. As Jupiter pointed out, the poor woman is already getting trolled by the lounge. We as cam girls (or members too!) should have a little compassion.

What if she heard about ACF and wanted to join, but then found this thread? This doesn't make ACF seem like an open and accepting community.

So to this and the other mean spirited commenters above, shame on you.

Pretty sure the avatar isn't the chick on the cam. For a start I think the avatar might be Karina Hart, secondly well...if she can hide that body under lingerie and look like that I wanna hire her as a drug mule.

ahhahahaha this is funny shit. I have a few saved to add later.

LOL>. no shit ... I know Athena and never even noticed this was Leighton. The 2 could be sisters they have such similar looks. :lol:

You're just now noticing this lil tendency toward dissection of people ? :whistle:

They're putting themselves out there for it by lying and using deceptive pictures. I wouldn't be mean about any models looks, no matter how bad, if they didn't try to cover it up by doing avatar magic. I don't see why any woman would want to get naked on the internet if she wasn't even comfortable enough with her looks to use her actual pictures.

If you look closely at that avatar, I actually really think that it is her. Look at her really thing shoulders/back, hair, and the glasses you can see she's wearing in the avatar. It's her.

And putting yourself out there by using lying and deceptive pictures? Sure, but it doesn't justify a community full of fellow models being openly rude about her general appearance. That had nothing to do with her avatar and actual look being the same (or not).
Basically you are saying that you only feel that it's okay to make fun of people about their looks that obviously are uncomfortable with they way they look? That's exactly what bullies do. And most women are uncomfortable with some aspect of their looks. I'm uncomfortable with my tummy so I usually wear a shirt on cam and try to deceive members into thinking I"m more toned than I am. I invite you to come and make fun of me.
I don't see any need to make fun of any women (especially publicly). Again, thats what bullies who are insecure with themselves do to other people who appear weak. (/ preschool teacher rant).

Can't we as an community who is representing cam girls (people who are already misunderstood and misjudged) try to have a little bit more dignity and class?

And we all stuggle as models to find a way to bring in traffic. Who are you to say that if you didn't have a 300-odd camscore you wouldn't do the same in a desperate attempt to bring yourself interest? It may be a rule on MFC to use an avatar that is actually you, but since when are rules on MFC generally followed or enforced?



OK, this thread is cool. I just hate that people are being douchebags.

DAMN, I just tried to edit it all out but missed my window. Sorry, that is super annoying to see.

The one thing that gets me is pictures that aren't a representation of any woman, let alone the model.

Another good reason why you might not want to use a random photo... although I'm sure these ladies were part of a studio, it still looks rather silly to me:

(Because none of these photos were actually of any woman I'm not seeing too much of a need to compare)

 

[Bocefish]

That is her, it may not be all that recent but I'm 99% sure that is her.

At one point, there were no less than three different models using the exact same ass avatar (not the one above) at the same time and NONE of them were the owner of said ass. I always check the live preview now so it doesn't nearly bother me as much as it did before that option.

 

[BoltEyeAm]

Here is a similar situation from one of my favs with an opposite twist to it. An avatar that looks like the model but isn't really her.

This is her profile pic

This is what she looks like.

When I first saw her profile I thought something was odd because I recognized some of the pictures from errr... former perving experiences. Google searching her pic not only gives you the real model's name but other pics from the same set where you can clearly see they are two different people. http://khotstars.blogspot.com/2011/09/l ... ia-yi.html

If a model feels that they can't make an appealing avatar on their own, I think perhaps they should consider doing something else.

If you don't feel confident that you can at least snap a shot of your own butt with your webcam, then how are you supposed to feel sexy when you show that same ass, on the same camera live?
