To show face or not to show face?

Hello Lynn,

thoughts from a buyer, I’m sure the ladies will chip in with much better comments than me a little later :cheer:

I think showing your face on a few photos for buyers shows that you are real, and it’s lovely to see the beautiful face of you ladies when we purchase or receive some photos? :cheer:

I can understand the reluctance to have lots of photos showing your face on site thoug, it’s too easy for surfers to right click and save and then you have no idea wehere the photos wil lappear on the net .. or on another ‘site’ grrrrr

Plus, as you say, there is the idea of not wanting your familly or freinds to know of your activities.

I’d say it’s a question of trust, if you have regular buyers who you feel you can trust, then it’s not so much of a problem sending photos with your face on them.

I do understand your predicament Lynn, and I’m sure you’ll get lots better advice and experiences from the other ladies? :kiss:

I think it’s a great “tactic” to not show your face at the start. When you look at people galleries who don’t show their faces, should a pic happen to have her chin and her lips on it then it doubles the hits. I think it builds some mystery and suspense.

I have a Yahoo Group that’s protected and filled with face shots but I have to grant access so I know which of my customers will get to see them. Maybe try that but don’t use a full face on your opening page.

I think your site and photosets are wonderful as they are. Have you considered doing a faced photo set? Then maybe you could sell it privately to the customers you trust.

I say do what you feel comfy doing. I do think though that the internet lulls you into a false sense of security. In the short time I’ve been selling I’ve had ALL my personal info leaked and it was a huge wake up call. I’m sure Cindy has her tales to tell from over her selling years too. Certainly be careful, but be happy  :laugh:

Ps: My Panty Hog gallery will soon lose its head too  😉

Personal information isnt that hard to obtain over the internet when you know the right places to go. I dont care if its legal or not, I dont wish to have fans staked out on my front garden, or even worse I am not prepared to take on stalkers.  I get enough wacky emails as it is and well as you say Champers …. be careful – the internet can be a dangerous to place to play.

It’s true. I’ve been stalked 3 times before panty selling (is that just unlucky or what?) one of those being especially serious. I’ve done the weird men phoning me and chasing me down the street and I’m not about to do it again. One guy was able to get info on me and didn’t even know my full name.

Just the other day I had a couple of emails from a long standing private customer entitled Dear “real name” when there’s no way he should know that. Every now and then I get an “I know more about you than I should” email and it always makes me  :huh: I think you just need to know your boundaries and when people cross them put your foot firmly down.

I just go round and double check all the people I trust my information with haven’t let me down. It’s all too easy and the internet isn’t a big place when you know what you’re looking for.

My two cents worth…

I have no problem showing my face, but then ALL my friends and family know what I’m doing;? I’m not even planning to hide it from my young kids – I believe violence deserves more censorship and sex less. (When they’re old enough to ask I’m gonna tell them “mommy makes cheesecake and sells it on the web” *giggle*)

Plus none of my pics are really nasty or trampy;? I only ever show “beaver” shots in my private area and even those are pretty artistic I hope.

On the other hand, I WILL NOT do webcam or video stuff, except as very special treats for valued customers…those clips I do are really lousy quality, can’t see a heck of a lot…and I have no problem with keeping it that way.? *I* feel over exposed in video.

Pics of your face are certainly good for giving the customer the sense that they know you, and that you’re a real, desirable girl, but there are other ways to do that too…Cindy and I both have voice clips on our sites, which can do just as much as a face shot in letting the surfer feel “close” to you.

As a buyer i have to say i fell in love with Cindy’s smile the first time i saw her.Now when i order i can have photo sent or e-mailed or no photo.
i do understand people have many reasons for not publishing photos on the web but if you have good regular clients then you may be able to send or e-mail if you are sure of your buyer.
What i’ve seen of Ms Lynn and Suzie looks really good but in the end it has to be your decision.
Best wishes to two nice looking ladies.

Jazzy.

I know this discussion has been running for a while but i would like to add to it.
I get round the problem by wearing a mask.I normally have a black cat mask or if its a special piccie set like a nurses outfit I wore a surgical mask.There are loads of ways around it like masks or maybe a vail or a boa.
I think it adds to the mystery too. 😉

I show my face sometimes, I mean I would be proper embaressed if someone knew who I was, but really what are the chances of someone stumbling across them?
