51 days

Posted: 21:03, 09 Nov by cheekysamo

Hey Guys!

Since 2007 when I won a competition to be featured on the artwork for Clubland 11 I have been doing little bits of modelling here & there.
I have been featured in ZOO, Nuts, Loaded, Front, Maxim, Monkey & The Daily Sport.
And most recently having my own 2010 calendar!!! Which I cant thank you all enough for!! So excited!!

The time has come to give it one last push. So in other words, when I get my pictures back from the calendar shoot I will be sending them to all the mags an agencies to try and generate some interest (because if photos shot by the best in the biz ,Alan Strutt, cant get you work then nothing will!!)
The deadline I have set myself for this is the end of the year - 51 days time!

I love being behind the camera & posing for shoots, but I have to ask myself 'what am I getting in return' because at the end of the day modelling is a job, a job which should be paid, and now in the industry there are just so many girls willing to do it for free!
Also, I have other things going on in my life now that I didnt before, and have to take everything into consideration. 'getting your tits out' really divides some peoples opinions, and I need to figure out where I stand with that. I want to be respected.

The only goals I havent managed so far that I set myself is Page3 & a Cover.. and Im 99.9% sure that will never happen, so there has to come a time when I just accept that.

Honestly, I cant see any mags or agencies being interested in me, an if thats the case then the following will happen.
I will stop entering any real girl style comps
I will only do paid work if offered via the likes of purestorm or here on the crib
I will keep my profile on CandyCrib active to keep in touch but wont be posting any self shot content, will just be crib associated like my Calendar/Miss Candy 2009 stuff & any other paid shoots
I will be withdrawing all VIP content - been thinking about doing this either way anyways as the pot is over £17,000 and its just frustrating that us girls go to the effort of uploading and dont see much back.. especially when theres so much £ sitting around!! I could be doing with a new car u know, haha!
I will accept the fact that I didnt make it is a 'glamour model' but know that Ive had fun & I have pics to look back on when Im all old and wrinkly! hehe!

Anyways, would love to hear what you have to say on the subject,

Samo xx

i totally understand babe... it feels good to get in these mags and calendar etc... but paid work is the main objective!! And i cant see i would get it... so i have been considering stopping!! xx

i completely understand what you mean samo, it's a harsh industry, i just wanna say i will be here supporting you all the way whether you continue or not as i think you are a genuinely nice person :) p.s. you still owe us that brighton trip! ;) xxx

I see why you think that, but if you ask me you can make all those things and much more

Posted: 21:25, 09 Nov by cheekysamo

Yep emsie it is nice to be featured in these things.. but theres always negatives that come with positives..! Hmm!

Posted: 21:26, 09 Nov by emsie86

ahhhh lets go party in london with liam lol xxx

Posted: 21:26, 09 Nov by cheekysamo

thanks mike, your one of many, without who I probably never would have got my own calendar! :)

Posted: 21:27, 09 Nov by mikelucas1

aww :) cant wait for mine to arrive :)

Posted: 21:28, 09 Nov by cheekysamo

theres comes a point hchinaski when you just have to call it a day thou...!
Yes theres positives about it like I said to emsie.. but theres also negatives, I have people judging me on a daily basis.. with doesnt seem worth it when Im not achieving my whole reason for getting my boobies out in the first place.
Plus, I have my own personal reasons as to why I want to keep my bra on.
But like I said.. one last push! :)

Posted: 21:35, 09 Nov by lozzie87

i understand your feelings and we've talked this through many a time... modelling just doesnt seem to provide any money and theres only so long putting up with the crap sides of it for the love of getting ace photos back can last! go sammy!

Posted: 21:36, 09 Nov by Maxipaz

HI lady!! I'm doing exactly the same babe! I feel the same way. If my ONF pics and Alan's don't get me a contract nothing will so at lest I can hang my tits up and know I gave it the best I could! If this doesn't work then it wasn't meant to be. X

Posted: 21:38, 09 Nov by cheekysamo

thanks loz & your right.. having yourself look fab an pics is wicked... but have to weigh things up! :)
xx

Posted: 21:38, 09 Nov by cheekysamo

"hang my tits up" lol maxi u crack me up!!
how u doin chick?
have u sent ur pics anywhere yet? x

Posted: 21:49, 09 Nov by Maxipaz

Ha ha, I didn't know what else to say I'd hung up!! LOL
I've sent some before but right when I first started with the awful pics I took back then and when I was 1.5 stone heavier!!
I've not sent my pro ones out cos it's taking me a frickin' age to choose which ones!! Plus I wanna wait til I have my calendar pics as I wanna include them X

Posted: 21:54, 09 Nov by cheekysamo

Yeah hard knowing which ones to choose! :)
Well ur ONF pics are fab... si the best of luck hunny! xx

Posted: 22:09, 09 Nov by Maxipaz

You too chick!! When we're both rich and famous we'll do a shoot together and I'll introduce to my second husband Robert Pattinson as long as you promise not to nick him! X

Posted: 22:14, 09 Nov by emsie86

Posted: 22:17, 09 Nov by natson

im sensing a mass exodus

Posted: 22:18, 09 Nov by mikelucas1

wow maxi i didnt know you knew the future! how did you know i was thinking of changing my name to Robert Pattinson? haha! (sorry samo for going ot!)

Posted: 22:25, 09 Nov by mikedalbydashmusic

i think you always have a place in peoples minds

Posted: 22:28, 09 Nov by cheekysamo

How do you mean natson?

Posted: 22:37, 09 Nov by MisterSmalls

There's a lot of girls out there trying to get a break like you say, and if it's not paying your bills.

I hope the calendar does the trick for you. You are a great looking girl and you should be getting more work.

Posted: 22:42, 09 Nov by emsie86

well....i just love you samo... and u maxi.... i think we need a plannnnnnn to make us the new 3 amigos every1 will want!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxx

Posted: 22:43, 09 Nov by natson

i think loads of the girls are gonna leave, or at least not do so much, you n maxi, cassy leavin for other reasons, i think amyl just left, i think if the 'core' girls start leavin loads will just leave, also, tho i always seem to miss the arguin cos its at the weekends, u can see remnents of it throughout the week, its ALOT quieter on here in general, the girls seem to be gettin alot of hassle from certain dicks on here ( im not refering to cockwatch either, i agree wit ur statement on that samo) - i dunno just kinda feels like CC is dying a death

Posted: 22:47, 09 Nov by natson

i think emsie86 was thinkin about goin in one of her status things too, there is just a general 'had enough of CC' i think

Posted: 22:59, 09 Nov by tedbear

Sammy - good luck to you. Sounds like you know where you want to be in life, what's best for you and are going to give it your best shot. Hope you succeed beyond your wildest dreams. But I do find it hard to imagine you as 'old and wrinkly'!

Posted: 23:16, 09 Nov by emsie86

lets just see if our calendar pics can help us out! if not then this site isnt worth it really..... other than the banter

Posted: 23:25, 09 Nov by jared123

It'll be sad to see you 'leave', you're probably the main reason I keep checking back here! And I never got to see your VIP content :(

Now that you and maxi are stepping down, and with the rubbish new features like live and premium, I'll probably stop checking back - I know I'm not VIP so don't hold any weight with the admins, but the reasons for coming back here are getting less and less every day.

Good luck with it though, you really deserve to do well.

Samo my thoughts for what there worth ..You are a star here on cc and i believe the potential in extracting ""real"" modelling openings on the site is almost zero ..guys on here also simply enjoy the association with in a lot of cases out of reach girls thats the magnet just out of reach ,,Its a club in my opinion subscribed to and actually generously donated by nice guys {not all} no one will get rich however LOL the car will have to wait ha ha ...Do what i do stay in cc contribute as a pasttime get yourself a job in promotionals if you can and use ALL your assets ,,body personality {clearly you have } and enjoy life i am guessing there are 1million potentails out there of which 0.005% ever make a living ...stay on cc and be the role model babe like the other top 50 contributers .love nancy xxx

For what it's worth Sam, I think You are a great Model, totally professional as well as Beautiful, I can completely appreciate the fact You ain't getting paid Your worth, I'm hoping that You get some decent paid work soon Hunny, I for one would defo miss My regular 'Cheeky Samo' Fix, I even reserved a special space in My room awaiting the arrival Your Calendar XxX :p

Posted: 10:34, 10 Nov by tanialeanne

Posted: 11:12, 10 Nov by cheekysamo

Yeah Natson it is much quieter.. I remember the "good old days" when you would upload content an within 1 or 2 days.. it would have 100's of fans.. now your lucky to get about 30 within that time period. An for the site having over 60,000 members that is VERY poor response! :(

Posted: 11:12, 10 Nov by cheekysamo

thats sweet tedbear.. but we all will be at some point! hehe

Posted: 11:13, 10 Nov by cheekysamo

Im not leaving yet Jared123 just keeping u guys in the picture!

Posted: 11:14, 10 Nov by cheekysamo

Thank u shane!

Well I hope my calendar fills the spot on your wall well :)

Posted: 11:16, 10 Nov by cheekysamo

Tania, truth be told, I have an agency who would like to meet with me & are in the process of arranging meetings etc with the mags/photographers... but my next big problem is I live in Aberdeen! To give it your best shot you need to be based in London.

Posted: 16:01, 10 Nov by sarahx

aww bless ... you know a lot can happen in 51 days ... maybe after all the build up to the calendar shoots you might just be feeling a bit flat :/ bring on calendar comp 2011 hahaaa
... don't disapear completely tho - we would miss you terribly :(

Posted: 20:58, 10 Nov by MarkGS2

If you are looking for respect for your job, then glamour modelling really isn't the best way forwards! Soz if that sounds harsh.
If it is what you want, make sure anything you show any agency is top quality, ie well laid out professional portfolio.
You just need to decide if its something you are happy to be associated with for the rest of your life (potentially)
Hope this helps Samo

Posted: 10:16, 11 Nov by cheekysamo

dont worry sarahx I will keep in touch!! x

Posted: 10:17, 11 Nov by cheekysamo

Mark - I think its safe to say I will always be assoiciated with it anyway.. once you get your boobs out it kinda sticks with you... but your right.. its not a good road to go down if one doesnt want to be judged!

Posted: 11:14, 11 Nov by natson

now gemma holmes is off too .... the exodus has begun!
