I do! Tarter Brothers and Reed if I remember correctly. But....I don't remember what they have to do with the issue being discussed here on this thread.
Care to elaborate???

If the ?end? (increased participation in this case) justifies the means I?m not sure you where draw the line. Part of Ed?s point was there is no such thing as victims, only willing participants but I?ve yet to meet anyone whose life doesn?t impact others around them one way or another.

This woman’s decision to partner with Only Fans affects no one in any way posting here. Further, based on comments I’ve read here, it also doesn’t affect her immediately family in any way. Best I can tell it’s all good for her, her Team and obviously exposure, pun intended for Only Fans.

Attractive lady, not an ugly blonde.

Dawson you should reach out to her, maybe she can help you get marketing partners.

Ed, that's not the point of the thread. Yes I find that selling herself and partnering with a pornography site to be... less than optimal. But the point was I'm tired of money flowing to people who haven't proved themselves as competitive drag racers. I just wanted a chance to say what everyone has noticed over the last 20 years since the dawn of social media and popularity being more important than accomplishment. This seemed like the most blatant example I've seen tbh.

I'm also not saying I'm the one deserving of this either, ain't got shyt aint won shyt, but I'm trying my best!

Dawson that’s how the real world works, get used to it! It’s not how good you are or what you know, it’s who you know and today how big your social media presence is to secure real marketing partners.

Just look at Trump’s cabinet picks, do they all have the credentials, the resume, the proven skills for the role they have been nominated for or is it they are loyal to Trump and will execute his agenda. I know it’s the later and I’m ok with that, I’m guilty of doing the same when hiring people to work for me and it has served me well for decades.

it is sad to say that talent doesnt go as far as a social media presence but 1290 is correct, this is the world we live in today. i may be as good at drag racing as anybody but i personally dont want the BS associated with trying to maintain an "online presence". i dont have the time or desire. more power to those that do. i love to beat the people with lots of sponsors and an online presence. that is what motivates me. nothing is more satisfying than winning with, shall we say, not the best equipment.

ask yourself this. why do not so great looking nascar drivers who will never win anything have hot wives. it is not the looks or talent.

ep-i still like cleavage and hot nascar wives

While this is all true, it's the same argument that I worked my way up here but the bosses son got put in the same position as me...sometimes life ain't fair. I hear people bitching that Baron Trump was put in some "advisory" position....regardless of whether he deserves it (he does, he pushed for and set up all the pod cast stuff which was brilliant) or not, that's life. I'd rather not see porn or drugs and stuff relating to the sport I love, but, I have no say in it, so I won't worry about it.

Next thing you're going to tell me is that there has never been anyone in the illegal drug trade that used their ill got gains to fund their drag racing. Do you want me to start naming names?

Someone once said: "There's no such thing as bad publicity", publicity is publicity, get your name out there and keep it out there...
Nothing better than a good press agent...
