In case I’m too old and lost touch with present day personal presentations, or totally void of any feminine understanding (note; I was married to a woman for 46 years) Please educate me on the intent of this model’s images on the far left of her portfolio.

Model#: 4379635

Thanks in advance

Doesn't come up for me. I guess not enough info, probably out of the USA.

Aren't you the one who asked her if she was wondering how many M&Ms you could balance on your penis?

You can put the number (4379635) in the search box to find her account.

It's just a tampon string. I'd take it as an advertisement that she's open to photographing unconventional fetish material.

Just so long as the photographer is young and handsome.

Maybe she is advertising that if you book her for a shoot she won't cancel last minute because she got her period? It is genius!

I don't think it has anything to do with feminine understanding or personal presentation, she's not the one that's responsible for the picture. You would be far better served to ask the photographer what they were trying to accomplish.

No photographer mentioned; intentional?

MM is full of photographers that don't credit models and models that don't credit photographers. That in itself means nothing.  Obviously you're free to ascribe any meaning to that you wish. As far as I'm concerned there is nothing shameful, sinister or nefarious happening in that image.

I don't see anything wrong with her profile.  Maybe I'm missing something?

It is the first two images in her portfolio, that I mentioned.

After finally getting her page to come up, I would agree, with the other assessment, that she is wearing a tampon, in those first two images. Not exactly what you want to see, when doing a shoot.

Several blanks in the profile, which always bothers me. Why not provide that info?

Still, she is in your part of the world.

She's clearly soliciting more fetish oriented work if you read her profile info.
Additionally, the photographer could have easily retouched the tampon string and did not.
If there is an intent, it's likely some sort of fetish, but I'd wager a guess that she just happened to be on her period and that didn't get retouched.

I don't understand why you're asking this, frankly. If the tampon string is that off-putting to you, you can simply contact a different model. This is sort of a silly thing to post, and as a man who was married to a woman for 46 years, I'm unsure why a tampon string is making such an impression upon you lol.

Just move on and do not pursue models. If they don't answer in a timely fashion, it is a strong sign of how they conduct themselves. She looks and states she is interested in serious BDSM culture. If that is not something you are part of, you will have no authenticity in your images and the model will recognize that as you talk to her.  When you receive a negative reply, where the model assumes that your are rude and aggressive, that is another sign of compatibility issues. Don't be like the dog that always bites the porcupine. There are plenty of good models around to work with that are happy to be adaptable to older photographers. Spend more time reading their profiles, their photo here and their social media pages. If what they say and what their images represent are not you, move on. What you often find is that some of the models are trying to make money on social media, and if you work does not look like it is going to help them earn $$$, you will find it difficult to get them to work with you.

That is not a tampon string.

Anyone who has been in the military especially EOD will recognize that as a detonation pull cord for a  M18A claymore.

😂 🤣 Now that is the most sensible comment of the lot.

Those who feel the image portrays a sensible genre; then please add some of your own string series to your galleries.

At least it must be much easier to moderate nowadays. At least until that Ed guy turned up.
