Ye Gads, Fake Photos

Posted in Trannie Stuff by Rachel on the July 16th, 2007

It seems there’s a cauldron of trouble brewing in the AngelFlickr group around the issue of fake photos.

Joanne has a post about a dabate going on right now, although maybe that word would be too grand a description.

I’ve made my position quite clear on other occasions, but my comments weren’t particularly well received, although that was more about the method of dealing with it than the “crime” itself. But this is my blog so here goes…

I don’t frequent trannie photo communities as I’ve never attached much importance to my own, or other people’s frocked up, fotos. No sanctimonious sermons here, it doesn’t do a lot for me really, although I can appreciate a lot of the end results. And, as I’ve mentioned before, quite a few people have commented on the lack of a gallery on this site. And in an attempt to please these folk I did set up a link from this site to my Flickr account, but even that’s remained almost totally inactive.

Mind you, when I turned 50 last year I did promise myself a photoshoot, you know, someone who’d know what they were doing combined with a brilliant make-up artist. But even that’s almost fallen by the wayside - although there’s another 4 months to go…

Getting back to the point, when other girls become indignant about these “questionable” piccies I can’t help feeling it’s not worth getting over-excited about. Sorry, but haven’t we all got better things to do than worry about those that feel the need to do this sort of thing.

Now, where someone has used copyright images of someone else (and I’m referring to copyright in its strict legal sense) then I see no reason not to inform the legal owner and let them decide what to do about it.

And of course, for those running groups like AngelFlickr if the moderators say the rules are that no fake/doctored photos should be uploaded then those are the rules. And then if people flout these I see no reason why they shouldn’t be excluded. Afterall, those that made the effort to set up such a group have the right to enforce their own rules. And in Joanne I feel they have a very fair-minded moderator.

Anyhoos, for those interested in the plot regarding any alleged machinations why not take a look here. :)

There’s also a wicked skit on The Trannie Heirarchy Game ala Brucie. Checkout the recent posts.

    > when I turned 50 last year

    50? No. Surely you jest, madam.

    Ummm… just in case you think I’m being sarky - nope, that was a genuine compliment.

    I must confess I was quite surprised when I saw 50. Which moisturiser do you use Rachel? Or did you have a very easy paper round!

    Maddie: Wait ’til you see me in real life then you may ask what grade of sandpaper I use! And that may be sooner than you think as I’m thinking about popping over to Chams this Thursday as the girls are away, which makes life alot easier, but it also depends on a number of other factors so we’ll see…

    Lynne: I believe summer was cancelled this year.
