Sample117K0809
Lovely fitness competitor Lety Garcia asked me to work up one of her images. I used a competition photo she had and brought it in to Area Orion for a little boom, pow. She responded back with "Thank's a lot for the "photo" you made to me...... thank`s again and ......you are very smart...!!! I have no words to make you fell my gratitude to you gift!!....."
You're very welcome Lety

The Perils of Pauline
I'm no stranger to trouble, in fact I seem to attract it. I saw a link to Pauline Nordin photos yesterday which reminded me when she threatened to sue me... sort of. Thought I would share this with you so let me back up and start from the beginning.
My break from DeviantArt made me expand my network and interact with the women & photographers that my samples depicted. I've always been curious to a models/bodybuilders opinion of morphs of themselves. It started when Lori Braun posted some of my samples and there were interesting comments. Do they find them flattering or insulting? Amy Peters was first to contact me. She liked the boob job but kindly asked me to remove her photos. I was sad to see her go but removed them. Mike Yurkovic from PhysiqueArt liked my samples and asked for some exclusives in trade. The almighty Bill Dobbins even gave me positive feedback. Ruthie Lucchesi asked me personally for enhancements and loved the results, posting it to all her social network pages. Bobbi Billard loved the sample I did of her and tweeted the link to thousands of her fans. Even Penelope Black Diamond let me know how hot my samples made her, and I've never even done one of her. The list went on and I was elated. Maybe this wasn't such an underground art and felt like I needed to do more research. So my next sample was of Pauline Nordin and I decided to contact her before I posted the picture. Here's a transcription of the email conversation.

Hello Pauline,
My name is Ben and I do enhancements of beautiful female muscle women. These are done as fan art and I don't make any money from them. I have done a few of you in the past and have a new one to post. I'm starting to ask permission and would like your comments, opinion and approval. I look forward to hearing from you.(I attached the new picture and links to the old ones)
Thank you, Ben - Area Orion

H Ben,
You do not have permission to alter any of my photos. Neither the photographer or his attorney like it and neither one approve. I hope these will never be posted anywhere. I assume these are not posted anywhere.
Sincerely Pauline Nordin

Please take me off your gallery link. I forwarded this to my photographer and attorney.
Sincerely Pauline

Lets just say this brought my research to a halt. I removed my older Pauline samples and the new one was sent to the vault. It's only been viewed by myself, Pauline and her Attorney.
