hey can i get your address? im sure i could get some money from a perv on the street who'd like to see you naked.

if they didnt know you were there....you dont sell them. if they saw you were taking pictures and couldnt give a crap, its obvious they wanted pictures taken.

do on to others, in the end

Contact Photoagencies. They might help or you could always shop around for the best price.

By the way, Who is it that you have photos of? please tell[ or even hint..go on you know you want to ]

ummmm friends with sir mc. lol.

he sent them to me. i actually dont think hed be mad. it would probably be good publicity for him.

but he's a really cool guy...so i feel like a bitch.

a magazine wants to call me toomrrow to discuss. im gonna get totally ripped off though probably, i have no idea what they're worth.

i just want enough to buy a nice japanese strat.

he's not really that well known the guy i have pics of. but with all this publicity surrouding mccartney and that whole thing.... i guess its news worthy right now.

i just woiuldnt want to cause any more drama for paul.
but i honestly dont think it would be that big of a deal....good publicity for the unmentionable's new album maybe.

i dont know. help me out guys. YES or NO? im leaning towards no

friends with paul, eh? not brian ray is it? the first time i saw him from far away (on the fall 02 tour with paul, obviously) i thought he was in his twenties and very attractive. in photos, not so much...but still good-looking.

personally, i don't think i could bring myself to do it...but if the money were good enough, maybe. just not for any of paul's buds because i absolutely adore that man. haha. did he send the photos specifically to you, at your request? could he trace it back to you? i would feel strange, to say the least, if i thought that the guy would know i sent the photos in.

Are you friends with with paul? Rad. If you are friends with this other dude who is in the photos and you think he wouldnt mind whyd ont you ask if you can sell them or is that not good to ask and let him know it was you?

i think if you got naked infront of someone there's a trust you establish.

imagine if your sexual partners from time past sold pictures of you?

celebrity or not, we're all just humans at the end of the day trying to breathe and live, and do things right. i say help someone along that path, rather than harm them (and yourself in karma) by selling the photos. celebrities aren't immune from having feelings like shame or embarassment, like you our i would feel to see our cooters or penises on the cover of a magazine, while just trying to buy some freakin' groceries.

plus, tabloids are such a leech on society and life. don't take part in that.

are the pictures flattering?
does the person know you have these pics?
how much have you been offered?

ask him.
