Just saw an episode of Secret Lives of Women and Roxy was one of the stories on the "Model" episodes. It was a good watch on day to day life of the things they do. Anybody else catch it? :^)

Wow, things that go behind the scenes. Didn't know
I was wondering why there was no mention of BB in the episode. And yes they made Roxy look like a grand alt. supermodel, so at least good to them on that one. Bad on the wanting to uncredit thing. Lame.
So in my opinion it was good exposure.

No, no mention of any other sites as I recall...just a basic "who I am" thing. Showed her getting her Revolution tat, wanting life beyond modeling (clothing line), and basic life style things. Still wonder why they didn't want to credit anything from BB though..
Edit: They did show a bunch of other photos I havent seen before, but now that you mention it I don't recall credits for them either.

Why would anybody roll with that, no matter how much the producers flattered their photography?
That kind of amazes me that someone would try. I do stuff for barter and exposure (for my ability to get shows and other shit done not specifically me). Almost never for money. If they took out all my bennies, I would be kind of annoyed. It's just basic fairness.Quote:

Yah no doubt. :thumb:Quote:

i have a friend who works at the bunny ranch that was on that show a while back.
What is the basic concept of that show? I don't really know the gist because I've never seen it.
The show is about the secret lives that some women lead..kind of like two persona's, during the day one could be a police officer but at night they run amatuer porn through their webcam.
Basically every episode has a different theme.. the one Roxy was on was called "Specialty Models" (i think)... previous episodes were like a a high school principal who (when not working) was a KKK leader, lawyers who at night are dominatrixs, etc etc.
The show's tagline is "Don't judge a woman by it's cover".

She was pretty straight forward in the episode :^)
