Without wishing to point out the obvious, if it wasn't for turtleboy going to the trouble of trying to book new models there would be no Sophia, Sophie, Izzy, Monica, Nina or Samantha! I know Tammy Lee was a pain in the neck to get in but it was well worth it in the end in my opinion. Also, Layla Brown took months of reflection and a canceled shoot before she turned up but again was a real highlight for me.
As for whether Steph is cute enough or looks ticklish enough from a photograph, that is all a mater of conjecture. I personally don't agree with you but you are of course entitled to your opinion.

I can't even figure out how you took this, so I'll just elaborate - one of my biggest pet peeves is watching someone bust their ass, and having others who are involved not give their all when they see said ass busting. A director is sweating, working his tail off on a movie, and an actor is just slumming it, giving trouble, being an asshole... pisses me off big time.
You're raising money for someone who needs it, they're fully able bodied....and they're just...sitting there. They're not helping, they're like "uhh, you guys do it all...for me..." That happened to me recently. Me and my coworker who were doing the gracious helping stopped busting our asses.....
And then you wonder - is this person REALLY worth it? I've begged and pleaded for people to help with my movie/video projects, and spent more time asking them and dealing with the run around they give me, and came to realize, "I'd rather have the guy who SHOWS UP than the MAYBE better one, who doesn't." You can't film with someone who's not there. This is also a recent experience I had, spending months trying to convince one of my friends to help me on something, because he had the absolute right look I wanted. I eventually asked another friend, who showed up immediatly, and bam, I was finished! I realized after I should have just asked the friend who showed up first! Would my other friend have been better?
The answer is NO, because if he gave me that much trouble all along, why should I assume he'd kick ass on set and be the best actor I've ever had? He'd give me as much run around on set as he gave me beforehand, and would probably have just left early. And be complaining the whole time - "Why do I need that fake blood on my face? Why do I need that hat? Why do I have to stand there? This is stupid!"
I believe that Steph would probably have been difficult to work with, and therefore NOT given her all, if, after all thse months, she asks such a STUPID question!
I've been there.....you've told someone 27 times what's happening, and they're still like "So, what are we doing again?!" They always give trouble, if they ever show up.....
And I like turtleboy, as we all do, and I don't want to see someone who's working hard to make us what are the best clips out there, fighting and getting majorly frustrated with a flaky, difficult model.
Now if someone can't make it because of legitmate scheduling conflicts, life issues, fine. My star didn't make it at least 10 times, most told in advance, for my convenience, once or twice the day off because something came up. That never bothered me, because I know life happens, and he had showed up previously, so I knew he was good for his word.
