you know how people are just beautiful in everything they are? in their flaws, in our flaws, in the struggle to live as best they can? it silences me because any description i could give it could never ever represent how raw and painfully something it is. but i think you might know what im talking about.

I'm so sorry for my inactivity lately, I've just been letting my messages pile up! D:
I have so much going on right now, good and bad.

First off, I want to let you guys know that ~bthanyy decided to create an online magazine, thirstforvision magazine. We already have a bunch of people involved, such as ~auroille =M-a-e-e *fille-ordinaire and ~fionajanekerr for sure, and a few others like ~aurora-winter and =procrastinations (and more) that are probably going to be joining the staff!

we're still looking for contributors, especially writers, and ESPECIALLY people who are willing to put in consistent amounts of time as a full time member, not just a one-time or occasional effort-- though we will be needing part time people as well

Since last journal, I think Ive almost set up a shoot with a model for next week, so yay new pics!
And thank you SO MUCH for all of your support on my newest deviations <3

Anyway, in the meantime, I had put up a random before/after picture on twitter, and =M-a-e-e and *fille-ordinaire convinced me to sell an action set! haha

So, here we go. I have a set of 4 actions (3 color, 1 bw) for sale.
I decided to reduce the price to $5/action so that more people could afford it
If you want to let me know if you are interested via note, even if you aren't able to buy them yet, just so I have a general idea of how many people will be interested, thatd be great! Thanks for supporting me!! <3

you can see them on dA:
or here: [link]

How to pay/receive the actions:
-Send me an note here or an email at emilytebbetts@comcast.net with subject "Photoshop Actions"
-In the note/email, please tell me which actions you would like.
-Send the money via PayPal and put "emilytebbetts@comcast.net" in the "To:" line

_{i really want to start working with models in agencies around me. have you ever done this? these are people that are not on modelmayhem. i am wondering how to go about this, especially since i am hoping to do shoots for trade. i know that some models who are agency signed are still willing to do TF* shoots, but im not sure if this is the case if i contact them through the agency. any information on the subject would be really appreciated!

second, im really interested in getting a team of people together-- mua, hair stylist, wardrobe stylist or clothing designer, etc. any advice as to how to go about this?

lastly, does anyone know any fashion-y/photography magazines or websites that i can submit my photos to? or, how do you go about getting your photos in magazines? do people contact you usually? or do you submit your work?

thanks to anyone who can help me out!

i hope everyones having a good week!

<3

beauty, cancer.

_{hey everyone, thank you SOOO much for your support lately. ive been doing my best to keep up answering comments, sorry if it takes me awhile to do so! i sincerely appreciate every single comment, favorite, and watch that i get. it really means so much to me. so thank you <3

a couple things have been on my mind lately.

1. i received a comment on this piece that really made me sad. it was from a 13 year old aspiring model, who very nicely suggested that Susan "look sexi not like ur lost".

it just makes me sad because this young girl seems to think that sexiness is the ultimate and possibly one of the only forms of beauty, when that is so so so far from true. in my opinion, though sexiness definitely has its place in the beauty department, it is one of the cheapest forms of beauty. it made me really think about what images are being portrayed to young girls, and i think of all the CREEPS on modelmayhem whose photographs are clearly lacking any visual or artistic appeal besides the sexual clothing (or lackthereof) and positions that the women are in... it just makes me sad.

maybe i dont see too much of this because i choose not to look at it. i dont know. theres nothing more for me to say about this, it just bothered me, thats all.

2. smoking (and tanning) and cancer

i know this may be a sensitive topic for some, and i know many artists smoke, but i dont mean this to offend. i just want to say something to smokers (and tanners). i know you've heard all the health risks, and you know its costly and in smoking's case, not good for the environment. if you still havent made up your mind to sincerely try your best to quit, or you need a real reason to quit that involves people other than yourself (sometimes its easier to let yourself down than others), please consider this.

my mom has had cancer for half of my life now (im 18), and ive seen how it can affect a person, how much pain and discomfort and emotional trauma they go through. but most of all i KNOW how it affects the people who love them, because ive personally gone through that. it is such a terrible thing when someone you love has cancer, and you dont ever know what the outcome will be. watching them go through so much suffering and wondering when and if they will die is a terrible, terrible thing. i could really elaborate here, but i wont, though if you need motivation or want to know, id be happy to tell you.

my mom has never smoked in her life. she is a great person. she doesnt deserve to have cancer, she never did anything to put herself at risk for it, but she does. and i guess what im saying is that i dont know why anyone would knowingly choose to put themselves at great risk for this (though i know older smokers didnt know all the facts back in the day).

so if you need a reason to quit, do it for the people who love you, who dont want to watch you suffer.

do it out of respect for those who have fought, are fighting, or have lost against cancer, by showing that you do realize how terrible of a disease it is, and trying to prevent it from happening to you.

obviously, this is very personal to me, and im sorry if it offends anyone, because its not meant to.

i think that its especially appropriate because it's Breast Cancer Awareness month (which is the main type of cancer my mom has) and even though that is unrelated to smoking, it seems to be a good time to address it.

plus, one of my best friends is quitting, and im really proud of her.
but watching someone quit (shes doing well, too!) has made me think about this a lot lately.

if you actually made it to the end, thank you for reading <3

i hope you all have a lovely rest of the week,
em
