Females and compliments to each other,.... people and complementing each other,....
Look, I was just on IG and I'm here to tell ya, there's only about a trillion beautiful gals from all walks of life! The whole concept of someone gorgeous not needing to here it, or probably hears it enough, so why tell them,.... that's a bunch of freaking bull! Without fans, followers, supporters, a public figure has nothing. Every public figure also has people they work with, their team, people who are inside their biz inner circle. Support has to come from strangers, as well as people you directly work with or for, and people involved in your career. Everyone is different and shows support different ways, but no ones perfect. I get all that, believe me. I don't think we have to have similar goals, similar personal lives, or similar personal taste, for support to me given, and in return taken. Unless you truly feel someone's work is awful, and or they are what you consider unattractive, then just because its obvious they're are very attractive and produce high quality in everything they do, DOESN'T mean don't give them their props!!!! Just because they have tons of fans, many supportive people in their lives, doesn't mean you can't be one of them. I say ESPECIALLY if you actually expect support in any way, you need to be actively giving it, in return. Supporting someone by paying them, is a consumer buying a service. Showing support, giving compliments, cross promotion, etc., not required between a seller and consumer. It's going above and beyond, because your biz relationship goes beyond. I don't expect support from my clients, on anything I produce that they weren't involved in, still very much noticed and appreciated when they do. But as far as telling me I'm beautiful, that my work is amazing, giving me my props as a professional model, that's up to the individual. In pinup I see so much focus on uplifting each other. Since pinup is for any race, any size, pretty much any age, and isn't very expensive to have as a hobby, its easily accessible to the mainstream. Pinups are usually very supportive with each other, but of course there are groups, clicks and friends within the pinup industry. I think their are 2 types of people in a public figures life, and a 3rd applies in many cases. Haters that actually waste energy hating, and no matter what you do they will criticize it. Then there are extremely supportive people, and no matter what you do they think its fantastic. The 3rd are people who will show support once in a blue moon, but secretly are jealous, and or they feel you get enough compliments and support from others. It's just like never telling someone you love them. Ok, so they know you do, does that mean never tell them. If someone is beautiful, you are around them or working around them often, why would it be beyond you to compliment them? Women,..... Men can compliment a woman and then go about their day. Men can compliment another man on their work, then move along with their day. I'm not saying ALL women, or all men, this or that. I'm saying many or the majority. Every individual is truly different. I'm a fan of professional pin-ups, professional models and social media, fashion influencers. I follow their work because I think it's great and I think they are beautiful. I show a bit of support when I can, because I enjoy their work. Some of these gals have 300k up to 3 million followers on Instagram. I've never thought, even when I've clicked like and commented, that it doesn't matter, that my support means nothing. I've never once thought, oh she's freaking gorgeous so no point in telling her! I'm too confident in my looks, to be insecure about another womans looks. If I'm around someone I think is beautiful, I will tell them. Just like when I see awesome images and a beautiful woman, I click like, or comment, and maybe even share it. I work with people in biz and have people in my family, that I have very little in common with, that's common with us all. I don't expect every single person in my life to be supportive, or extremely supportive like many others are, everyone is different. To bring this subject full circle. I realize beauty, talent and success can be powerful. It can cause many emotions brought by others. Some people are truly uncomfortable around someone they think is beautiful, or someone successful. Some people feel blessed and appreciate beauty and talent, and the success of someone they're around. Public figures need supporters, fans, followers. If you think you're the only hottest chick in the world, think again. If beautiful women threaten you, modeling is definitely not the biz for you, if you think because someone is gorgeous that they don't value hearing that, you're lost. Visit Instagram, you'll see endless beautiful and extremely gorgeous models, talented, popular and successful. If you happen to be someone who enjoys compliments on your appearance, or your work, and pretty much expect support from certain people, make sure you're willing to give it in return. If you're jealous, get over it! If you're clueless, get one. If complimenting others is beyond you, make it within your grasp. If someone's beauty or success threatens you, then up your game, or don't be around them. Women who can't compliment another woman, have personal issues. And I don't care who you are if you expect things you are unwilling to give, you will be limiting your opportunities and eliminating yourself from supportive people. Just yesterday I saw a photographer I worked with only once, and don't know when we will again, post saying his work was just published. I clicked like because the image was excellent and model was beautiful. I clicked like to show direct support!!! Not of our work, has nothing to do with me, and I wasn't exactly sure he'd appreciate the support, however I STILL showed some. Then I went beyond that and messaged him, congratulating him and telling him, once again, that I love his work. No one on Gods green earth forced me to do that! It literally took seconds, he was grateful and responded. We spoke about a future, 2nd shoot, and then I went about my day, and so did he. Cost nothing, took a minute of my 24 hour day, I gained nothing from it aside from his genuine appreciatio. He gained nothing from it, aside from being noticed and appreciated for his excellent work. Maybe it was seen as uplifting, but it was just automatic and 2nd nature to ME! See something I like, obviously I saw it, take a few seconds to show support, and a minute to send a compliment via messenger. Done. Its not like hes a total stranger, and I personally have complimented many perfect strangers. I am busy 7 days a week, no days off, full time housewife, family, friends, my career, my biz,my goals and responsibilities. I'm my own biggest supporter and happen to think that my modeling work is fabulous. Guess what? So do many people around me. I never ever get so wrapped up in myself, my career, my goals, my personal life, my success, where I'm above complimenting others!!! NEVER! It's essential for everyone a public figure works with to show support, and expecut it in return. Magazine owners, photographers, stylists, companies, clients, fans, followers, etc., all must show support of they expect it, period! That means complimenting them or their work that has NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, unless it's a fact that you think its crap! The title of this blog pretty much says it all! I've never met a single model who didn't appreciate complaints, and doesn't value support! Models with millions of followers obviously got that popular due to support. You can make an noticeable impact by being extremely supportive, being an extreme hater, or by being a supporter person often. You DON'T have to set out to be a motivator or uplifting person, to make a positive difference in someone's day! Believe me, there are people I know that I have very little in common with, don't motivate me personally, and have completely different taste than me, that I still support and they still support my work! Personally I don't need any of my clients to show my work support, when its given its noticed and valued. I don't need support or compliments on my modeling, to be paid and do my job as a stylist. Clients don't have to be my fans. Pinup Talk host Dianna Prince Las Vegas Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield
