There isn't much market for CD models or pornstars but you'd have to do better with makeup and hair, in my opinion.

speak to bluepixels .they run some cd/tv websites ..

If you go independent, you'll have to come up with your own unique niche...

[GroobyKrissy]

Well first of all, I like your name on here... Renata Luv has a nice ring to it so kudos on that.

Second of all, speaking only for myself, I know some of my pictures from many years ago weren't very good either so don't take criticism on that note too harshly... but, realize the more 'poor' pictures you put out there of yourself, the more criticism (fair or unfair) you're going to get and the more you're going to be discouraged.

IMO, I never really understand the 'I want to get into the industry' threads with people posting small and rather poor pictures of themselves. You don't go to American Idol and sing 'Row, Row, Row Your Belt' or 'Pants on the Ground', and expect to be taken seriously. There are probably those who legitimately and genuinely think they look good but your post seems to say otherwise and you know you 'need work'.

So, my word of advice is, go do the work. No one in this industry is going to just serve up a career on a silver platter.

If you think your makeup skills need work, then go buy 'Making Faces' and practice until you think you are satisfied and look your best. Invest in a decent camera or have some nice pictures taken of you. Learn a couple of poses. Looks like you already have the penchant for lingerie so that is nice. When you take a look at your pictures and LOVE them, THEN post a couple and see what the response is.

It is a little silly to post pictures of yourself and ask how to break into the industry when you, yourself admit you're not ready. Get ready and then ask for help. That's my opinion.

Great advice!

And your early pics aren't that bad...some of my favorites of you are from that era.

Seriously? Uggg... the only thing I love about my early pictures is that I was a svelte 135lbs back then :)

i'm actually not familiar with either of these songs

and my advice in this thread would be to consult the "crossdresser/tv" thread on this forum- it's one of the most highly rated and has upwards of 400 pages.

LOL :) OOPSIE... spelling error in the first one. Should have been 'Row, Row, Row, Your BOAT'

@OP:

You know, I understand the desire to be noticed, so if that is your intent, then follow the advice of the guys on here who want you to post pictures in the CD/TV threads or join a networking site... nothing wrong with that at all.

But, I'll tell you this... if you are SERIOUS about getting into the industry, work on developing your look, plan ahead, and keep to yourself. You've got to learn your craft before you start releasing pics that will either discourage you (because of negative comments) or create no 'mystery' about who you are or where you came from.

There's no doubt that you have nice body but as was stated before, you've got a long way to go, a lot of knowledge to learn, a lot of work to put in, and a lot of dollars to spend before you can even begin achieving a little success.

IT IS A MYTH that you just decide to become a sensation overnight... I don't care who you are. If it is really what you want to do, put in the work, learn the craft, make the connections, and even at that... cross your fingers because a little luck is always a factor.

True words. Success takes time.

Good luck.

These kinds of threads always bring me back... I found my "gimme work" thread from back in 2006... http://www.tranny-masters.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=1804

This was one of the photos that got Grooby's attention. (I literally had three or four photos at the time)

I thing you need a good photographer - not a great one or a professional one - just one with a good eye for the artistic
