3 Questions

Howdy.

The question number one is : isnt it sad, that the creator and owner of the BIGGEST FAKE Alessandra Ambrosio Myspace account is at the same time a moderator on her Official Forum ?

The question number two is: isnt it sad that that moderator just uses Ale official forum to promote her own ... 'copy of Ale official forum' ?

And question number three: would YOU trust your health to a medical nurse who is incredibly light-headed, has a very shallow mind, has zero sense of responsibility and lacks concentration ?

If you answered YES to the first two questions and NO to the last one...then I agree with you :) lol

Just some 'fans' observations...

Hi, happy May month for ya'll ! :)

Now as for the theme. In no way this is meant to insult anyone, not even the 'not so smart ones', its just observations from a big fashion/models forum on the topic of 'fans' or 'models fans'.

You know, when something like the desrcibed below happens once, it maaay be just a single case, but when it is being repeated all the time...well you get the idea.

Ill start with the 'most recent cases' if you please. And yes, I do try to just ignore such um 'persons' as much as I can but unfortunately sometimes you cant put a wall between them and you, its one forum after all and with some you unfortunately happen to have 'same favorite models'.

Recently I posted an ad with Alessandra Ambrosio and Caroline Trentini in the latters thread. And I mentioned that those were scanned for Ale fans so of course Ale is a model in the centre of each picture but since Carol is there too , I was that kind :) to post them anyway in her thread. And what do you think ??? lol Nah, I didnt get 'thank you' for it. All I saw when I stopped by a while later was.... pretty much ' bashing Alessandra'. LOL One hmm hmm 'fan' was whining how 'Ale always has to be in the centre', another one hmmm 'fan' in his VERY regular manner just pretty much was putting down Ale ' ugh she looks like a reject compared with Carol'. Yeah, thats how some 'fans' are. Instead of just enjoying some new pictures of their 'fave models' all they do is whine and put other models down. I dont think that Carol would like to see such posts in her thread. More so they come from one country, Carol and Ale. But whatever.

And the same very fan, lets call him ' a1' ( not to tell the real member name lol), I noticed does that very thing ALL the time, putting other models down in the threads of 'his fave' models. Only for the last few days in Hilary Rhoda thread he put down pretty much everyone just to ...what ?? what for ?? To emphasize how awesome Hilary is by constantly putting other models down( her colleagues!) and comparing them with her ?? LOL It wont help anyone like Hilary more, thats for sure. Such fans only scare other 'potential fans' off by being so arrogant and disrespectful to anyone 'but their fave models'. For example, new candids of Hilary in a nice dress. Usually a fan would enjoy it and admire his model and all that, but nah, 'that fan' always says smth like ' Everyone else would look like a cheap ass in that dress (which looks trashy) and only Hilary can pull it off so well'. LOL Oh so 'his another fave model Carol looks like a cheap ass too 'I guess if he says so ??? And he says that 'his fave model Hilary has a horrible taste if she wears such a 'trashy dress' '?? How funny is that!!! lol

Also, its so amusing how since recently that 'fan' started to visit Miranda Kerr thread and do same thing there as well. Not that it helps to get more Miranda fans this way because honestly its unpleasant to check a thread where someone like he posts stuff like that all the time. He never was a Miranda fan before but for another member ( who is a genuine fan and a nice girl) he now comes there I assume 'to support'. LOL But you know what ?? This kind of 'support' does more harm then good. Because it all comes off VERY fake and arrogant at times. And its repeated over and over again so it became already pretty annoying and not funny at all if he 'tries to be funny or witty with such posts'.

Its amusing to see how many people just 'feed' such 'fans' and dont dare to say smth they really think of them and just nod 'yes, yes, youre right, yes yes youre the best, yes yes'... 'I am such a Caroline fan, I was called 'Carolista', we are all 'Carolistas' and everyone is like 'ohhh yes, yes,y es, we are, we are! ', 'Oh yes, how cute, ah ah...' Yuck.

You could think someone who is 32 yo and has a child could have had MORE respect towards others and be somewhat clever but nah... Not the case sadly. That arrogant member , lets call her ' a2' is SO unpleasant, in each post theres a very unpleasant vibe. Like she thinks she is 'the tops of the world and she just does a favor to anyone else by even replying to their posts'. Geeez, lol. Talk about thinking of yourself as a 'pure gold' when on the inside you are a 'rotten apple' ! Oh yes she has a website where she pretty much just collects all scans from forums and posts there. NO, no credit involved. ( surprised ?? I am not.) She must think her posts are 'super witty and clever' which is far from it. Or that she is the only one who 'can be so cool and sarcastic'. Theres a differenct between being kindly sarcastic and just crappy. Oh well, as you know, everyone is so different.... and some are just like that.

Or recently in Adriana Lima thread there was a discussion of whether or not she will attend an event, which turned into a who is popular discussion, Adriana or Gisele. And... then comes a random member and says something ... pretty much random too lol: ' How tragic that Marisa Miller gets more searched then Alessandra'. Um, and what does it have to do with Adriana thread please ??? Okay. Most members there ignored that as did I. But not even a day later lol, there comes that 'a2' so-called 'fan' and immediately grabs that chance to add even more 'crap' to the pile and show once again what a highly unpleasant, arrogant and in the first line ignorant person she is :' How tragic is it that MariSSa Miller gets searched at all'. LOL Laugh of the day indeed Id say ! A clever person would ignore that random phrase but no, not 'a2', even though she spelled MariSas name incorrectly she still HAD to say smth unpleasant about her since obviously 'shes not her fave'. Does it say anything unpleasant or anything at all about Marisa herself ? No. Does it say anything about what a person 'hhhh' ? Yes. Draw your own conclusions, people.

I mean, I have many models that I dont get either or even think they are 'hmm lets say not so beautiful or great at all'. But you know what, I dont go to their threads to bash them. And I dont post in my favorite model Marisa Miller's thread stuff like ' Ohhhh Marisa is amazing and compared to her Cindy Crawford looks like a retard !'( as some other 'fans' post). Sorry Cindy, it was just for the example.

Feel the difference ? I hope so.

Now thanks God, not all fans are same. Ive been a loooong time member on a bunch of big and not so big models forums and I could really observe things well - its amusing to have fun at the cost of 'fans' like 'a2' or 'a1', ya know.

Now I try to avoid generalizations, but lets say I know that some Gisele Bundchen fans ( for example) are really nice. They dont have the need to compare Gisele to other models they dont get just to put those down and put Gisele on top. No. They enjoy her, support her and make others like her more because how can anyone not like a model who has such nice and mature fans ? Its very appealing ! I do know though of one Gisele 'fan' who is the exception from that bunch of nice fans of Gi but I dont even want to talk about her much and gladly our ways dont cross on forums where I post nowadays so thats fine.

Also, a good half of Miranda Kerr fans ( not fake fans like 'Simsri' of course) are all nice people who respect not only their fave model but other models ( aka her colleagues) too as well as other people so props for them - you know who you are, I dont need to call the names :)

Also, he may not even suspect that he appeared in my blog here lol but I really want to say that ThiagoMello is one of the nicest fans I know - I never saw him bash any model and from many many posts and deeds I saw he is genuinely nice and respectful. He is always there to stop by his faves and show them some love without putting others down or coming off as an arrogant bitch. Just wanted to say that he is one of the nicest fans around even he may never know that I post here !

Also, Raquel Zimmerman has nice fans.

Alessandra Ambrosio, well, lets say.... she has tons tons tons of fans and they are all very very very different lol. The ones I talk to are nice, but Id say she has more then a half of all fans that dont bash other models and just are simple nice people. Not all, but many.

I wont talk about myself now lol, they say its not so modest to speak about yourself like how amazing you are hahaha... :P. Well, you can ask anyone on models forums, Marisa Miller fans were never seen bashing any model or talking disrespectfully or arrogant towards others. And whats the better prize one as a true fan can get when people come to you and say how they started to like your fave model too just because you as her fan are so nice and can act mature and respectful.

Of course this topic is huge but Im gonna put a stop here :) Yep, on a high note :P

Crediting on forums. Originally or not originally , thats the question !

Howdy!

Well, if you are a member of any forum where pictures are being posted you definitely know or heard about such a thing like giving a credit /crediting.

Usually, people give credit to those posters or /and forums where they got pictures/vids/info from. They say a must credit thing is scans - logically so, scanners are people who I also believe must be credited in the first place.

I myself is one of the active contributors ( I literally take hours of my personal time to search for new pictures on the internet) and I also scan as well as cap videos so I understand only too good when someone says 'they took pictures I found and didnt credit me'. Most people are bothered not just or not only because their scans were cropped or resized by someone somehwere on the net ( mine were too and its not a nice feeling to see that, believe me...okay, its internet, sure, we all know that, but its still possible to be nice on the net too... cause you know...there are always 'traces' ;o)) but mostly because they dont get any credit for their efforts and invested time to find certain stuffs or scan.

There are no rules as far as crediting goes. Usually as I said people credit scanners and any other posters they 'take pictures from and repost'. Usually its just nice to give a credit to someone if you 'take something from them' - either a picture or a video or the like.

People search the net for photos and I will tell for myself, if I come across a picture on another forum, I will definitely mention it when reposting that find. But usually I have other sources where I look for pictures... not gonna give all my secrets here :P Therefore its always nice to see when people credit me ( although I dont demand creditng me as in mentioning my members name, its enough when people mention my forum) if they repost pictures - and thank you everyone who does so, its always appreciated. I myself also give credit all the time when doing the same.

But what I find ummm... not even funny or hilarious lol, but hmmm, dont even know how to put it into words properly ... Crediting has so many 'sides'... Okay, lets take victoriassecret.com - they update the site with new pictures and you can of course download/get all the pictures there on the website. However its possible to find more pictures then the ones they put online. So people who took time to look for such pictures IMO of course, should be credited, since its not like the pictures are available to all on the site. But whats funny, people download all vs pictures that are ON the website already , post on a forum AND ask people to credit only their forums for that lol - come on, its not like YOU found them and only you can have an access to those. This is just plain silly, not credit-worthy and unnecessary !

What else do people credit ? Well, caps is something else that usually should be credited. I do tons and tond of screencaps of videos capped by others ( then I mentioned who capped a vid), or just videos that are on the net or the ones I have on my computer ( for a long time now). Again, it takes time to pick a nice still, retouch just a bit ( prettify:)) and post. Usually I do put tags on my caps. And on my 'picture finds'. In case people dont credit when reposting. I know its not so cool when you want to have a clean picture and theres a tag and I would most definitely never tag anything I cap, scan or post IF it was credited. But its not always the case therefore I have to tag some stuffs - although even when I tag I do try to make them as less noticable as possible so that they dont annoy people who look at the picture BUT so that I can anytime ID ' my stuffs'.

Of course there are common places like myspace or hey just our good old friend google lol where people search for images and what not. But even so I dont mind crediting someone who took time to search for a picture ( heck ! Even if its myspace and I know for sure Ive seen it there too) just because its.. I dont know...just a common courtesy Id say.

BUT there are always people ( Im sure you came across such too lol. If not- then ooooh, good for you I guess ! ) on forums who ALWAYS try to draw attention to them by the following. Imagine, someone posted a picture tagged with a forums name 'angelsforum.com'. Everyone is like, oh cool, thanks, nice candid find , etc. AAAAANDDDD THATS where 'such people' come into action lol. They aaaaaalways have a weird need to stop by and say ' HERE it is UNTAGGED. Its on myspace page of angels- so you know!'. Ummm, okay, thanks. But first off, NOONE asked for untagged one ( Im sure if people asked for an untagged one, posters would satisfy their request. ). And second, SO WHAT ?????????????????? lol I mean, if you know where that find came from, hell, GOOOD FOR YOU then I guess! Put a winner ribbon across your shoulder, put a crown on your head and be happy ! Naaah, they just wanna show that they KNOW where it came from even if they are not asked. How booo-worthy is that ? lol Oh and third - even if you know this source, why then didnt YOU take time and post it on a forum then ???????? No, they just come and 'spoil' the atmosphere when its not needed at all. Can you tell I dislike 'such posters' ?? You bet i do !

Like recently, in Julia Stegner's thread someone came by ( who I didnt see was updating JS thread there much at all to begin with !), okay so she stopped by and quoted a member who credited me and my forum for 2 picture finds and even put word 'originally' in italics in her reply, how hilarious is that : HERE is the original source of these 2 pictures blah blah blah '. LOL Well, the only good thing is that the link was new to me ( because its not THE original place I found those two pictures, so thanks for it, may be there are more of new to me images there Ill check!) but I mean, heck, was that uncalled for und unnecessary !'. Darling, if YOU know 'original source', then why the heck didn YOU take time to get those pictures and post in JS thread ????? lol Naaah, 'such people' never do. They only come to say bull*** like this. I dunno why. To show THEY know THE sources??? lol So what ? I know some good sources too. And guess what, I also come across pictures that people give credit for to other forums although I personally know where you can find those too and even untagged as well but I dont come to a thread and scream - AHA! HERE IT IS UNTAGGED. AND BTW THIS IS THE ORIGINAL SOURCE! SO you , dumb people, know !' Geeeeeeeeeeeez, how pathetic. I always want to ask such people - SO WHAT ??? Did posting so make you happier now ??? GOOD for you. Well done in showing everyone what kind of a person you are.

And extra for 'such know it all kind of low quality posters/forum members' --- people usually credit the place or poster where they for the first time saw the pictures regardless of where they come 'ORIGINALLY'. Thats such a weird word. What is originally ?? I always laugh when someone credits a person who just took an available-for-all VS picture, for instance, and says like 'picture originally found by XXX'. No really, thats too funny, ladies and gents. Okay, so that means this member XXX IS the one who took that very picture for VS with her/his camera and retouched it and put it on VS website right ??? Oh rrrrrrrrrrrright !

So yeah. Crediting is tricky tricky lol.

Some people credit ones but not credit others due to their own reasons like jealousy, envy, whatever. Others never credit anyone. Then there are people who take the pictures that are right there and anyone anyone anyone can see them but they still ask to credit them or their forums for those lol. And then there are people who always credit... So thats about it.

Ciao cacao.
Hope its as sunny and nice there where you are as its here where I am lol !
