Smiling. It’s a subject that’s been generating controversy for years at SCORELAND. I think everyone loves a smiling model, but when a model doesn’t make smiling her natural expression or doesn’t smile a lot, then what? Some guys take it really hard. They write letters, like this one from R.C., slightly edited. “I love big boobs, but they are number two on my list of what makes a model, or any woman, desirable. Number one is the smile. A smile means that she is comfortable with herself and enjoys what she’s doing. I don’t get that from Ashley (Sage). Ashley, if you want to win me over, you must learn to smile.” This is not the first time he’s written about the smiling game.
Smilin’ Karina.
On the flip side, there’s this recent note from S.M. “You know, Ashley doesn’t smile a whole lot in her pictures but so what, she has the look of contentment instead and as long as she’s content, that’s all that matters. Ashley looks so good facially and glamorously, she can afford not to smile.”
Two men. Two opposite points-of-view. There’s no right or wrong, just personal taste. Some models like to look serious because they think it makes them look sexier. Some models don’t like their smiles. Some don’t like their teeth. Everyone has different degrees of smiling. Other models love to smile. Some models are naturally happy-go-lucky all the time so they smile a lot. Others are the serious types. Some naturally smile, others have to be reminded by the photographer. When we see a serious-looking girl, it’s human nature to think she may be unhappy or having a bad day. Women smile more often and more naturally than men, too.
Researchers in psychology and social behavior claim that a smile gets a person what they want, sells more products, makes other people happier, establishes trust and personal bonds. According to the psychology research journal, Psyblog, “Some of the best-known research on smiling is about how people judge an authentic smile, the so-called, ‘Duchenne smile’ or the ‘crinkly-eyed smile’.” Different smiles are interpreted and associated differently. Tom Cruise’s smile doesn’t mean he’s going to kill someone like movie villain Henry Silva’s smile does.
Christy Marks’ smile, to me, often has a kind of Elvis quality to it. Not a sneer, but a kind of curl to the lip that’s seems lustful and sexual. I like it. Karina’s smile lights up a room. Brianna Costello has a great smile that lights up a room. When I first met her at a Vegas video expo in January, 2006, I noticed her dazzling smile as quickly as I noticed her blinding headlights and I thought to myself, “This girl’s a winner.” She’s got that curl thing going too.
I’d rather see a smile than a straight-faced, serious expression but above all, give me a natural look that doesn’t look like acting. And ultimately, it’s all about her boobs. So Ashley can do as she pleases. We’ve gotten many letters about smiling since 1992. What’s your op about the lip flip?
Today, I am going to tackle what may be one of the causes of boob shame.
Boob prejudice.
Breast bigotry.
Cleavage discrimination.
On this day, I am going to rant and rail against what we at SCORE have called “boob prejudice” in society.
It can lead to girls wearing clothes and bras that minimize their chests, something that sucks big time.
Street creeps making filthy comments to busty girls walking past them might be the most obvious and blatant example of boob prejudice, but it’s not as insidious as:
Employers declining to hire women because they have large breasts, thinking that the bustier the woman, the dumber or more incompetent she is.
School teachers treating busty students poorly, thinking that for every rise in bra-cup number, the IQ number is lower.
Classmates bullying or making fun of a well-endowed classmate.
Busty politicians being criticized…no wait, skip that. There are no busty politicians. Why? Because boob-bigots won’t vote them into office!
Do U.S. companies show boob prejudice against busty job applicants?
Instead of going on and spewing my dissatisfaction like this, I’m going to publish some excerpts from our interviews so the models themselves can recount the big-boob prejudice they have encountered.
Tatiana Blair: “I never had any trouble with the boys. It was the girls who were very mean to me.”
Melonie Max: “I was teased. A lot. It was rough while I was growing up. The girls hated me. But all the boys liked me. And I was always the new girl in town because my step dad was in the military, so I moved around a lot. So, I was always new and all the girls hated me and all the boys liked me.”
Autumn-Jade: “I thought I was a freak of nature. I had these really big boobs and I didn’t know what to do with them. Not like now. They called me names like watermelon patch or jugs. I would just look at them and laugh at them. I wouldn’t let them know that they hurt my feelings.”
Autumn had a ball.
Brianna Costello: “When I’m at the car wash, people just stop and stare, and I really think that when they’re looking at me, they’re having judgmental thoughts about my big boobs. A lot of them aren’t looking at my boobs because they like big tits, although I know a lot of the men do. They’re looking at me because they’re thinking things like, ‘Oh, she has no class,’ or, ‘She’s not a proper Southern lady,’ whatever that is. So I’ve come up with naming them boob-prejudiced people.”
Joy Juggs: “All of the girls’ boyfriends looked at my boobs, and they all wanted to talk to me, and the other girls didn’t like that too much. They all thought I was trashy and slutty and slept around a lot just because I had big boobs. At that time, I was actually still a virgin.”
Bre: “One time, we were at this pep rally and all these guys were saying, ‘You stuff your bra! You stuff it with toilet paper!’ I lifted up my shirt and I said, ‘Yeah, that’s right. I stuff it with my titties.’ I got in trouble and got suspended. I was always getting in trouble in school. That’s why I had to home school. I would always get sent to in-school suspension for wearing little skirts and little tops. I hated school because I always got into trouble for no reason, just because of what I wore.”
There’s a lot more of this on-file, but I’m starting to boil over with anger and rage re-reading it. So let’s move on to some happier recollections because I can’t handle any more personal recounts of boob prejudice.
Michelle May can hold her own against bullies.
Michelle May: “I got a lot of smiles and winks from a lot of the guys. I wouldn’t say that I was hated on because I went to school in California and everyone showed a lot of skin. I mean, it is commonplace for people to walk around half-naked in California. I would say that I was the flavor of the week for maybe a week and then people got over it. I got the nickname Shelly Big Boobs and Tits McGee. It was all in good fun. No one ever went out of their way to be nasty to me.”
Kaytee Carter: “If a guy comes up to me and says, ‘You have big tits,’ I’ll say, ‘You’re a fucking genius.’ And I make fun of him. If a guy comes up to me and says, ‘You have ginormous tits,’ I’ll make fun of him, but I’m not mad at him.”
Carrie Ashton: “A lot of the guys would say stuff about them, but I think it was more, um, perverted than malicious. They wanted to touch them or talk about them. All of the girls pretty much left me alone.”
Joy Juggs: “The guys all treated me very well. Anything I wanted, they would get for me. If I needed my pencils sharpened, they would sharpen them for me. If I forgot to do my homework, they would do it for me. That all started quick when I got into high school. I think I caused a lot of problems with guys and girls. Not on purpose, mind you.”
Jasmine Shiraz: “I got away with murder. I could do just about anything and I wouldn’t get in trouble with the male teachers. I remember throwing something at one of my teachers, and I didn’t get in trouble at all.”
Boob prejudice must be stamped out in our time. Instead of spending more money on another war in the Middle East, our tax money should be allocated to public education and awareness to eliminate this form of social discrimination.
Aileen Ghettman did not make S.M.'s list of the most-photogenic SCORE Girls, but she could have. Says who? Says me. This photo is part of a very nice set of Aileen that can be viewed at SCORELAND and XLGirls.com.
S.M., a regular contributor to “Scorecard,” from Baltimore, Maryland, writes: “Here’s my Top 25 of your most-photogenic naturals ever. 1. Linsey Dawn McKenzie; 2. Merilyn Sakova; 3. Sharday; 4. Ashley Sage Ellison; 5. Karina Hart; 6. Nicole Peters; 7. Bea Flora; 8. Brianna Costello; 9. Kelly Kay; 10. Natalie Fiore; 11. Taylor Steele; 12. Arianna Sinn; 13. Kerry Marie; 14. Shione Cooper; 15. Sophie Mae; 16. Terry Nova; 17. Chloe Vevrier; 18. Anna Song; 19. Luma; 20. Rhonda Baxter; 21. Via Paxton; 22. Kaytee Carter; 23. Miosotis; 24. Carrie Lynn; and 25. Dawn Stone.”
Got that?
S.M. continues, “Let’s start with the definition of photogenic, according to the dictionary: ‘attractive as a subject for photography.’ I’d say the women above would fit that description, wouldn’t you? Linsey came in at No. 1, which should not be a shocker. She was a borderline celebrity. She was the porn version of Judy Garland, the brunette Marilyn Monroe, the British Jenna Jameson… you name it! I have selected the models for various reasons, some for being very personable, for sensuality, for attractiveness and, most importantly, for smoldering sexuality. Smoldering sexuality lets me know that the model might actually be aroused, which means she’s into what she’s doing or is at least acting like she is, so it’s the thought that counts. Terry Nova, Shione Cooper, Natalie Fiore and Chloe Vevrier specialize in this category.”
“Karina, Brianna and Taylor are the most personable models. They never stop smiling!”
“The most-sensuous models consist of Kelly Kay, Nicole Peters, Ashley Sage Ellison, Arianna Sinn, Merilyn Sakova, Linsey Dawn McKenzie and Dawn Stone. And then you have your hardcore vixens such as Christy Marks and Shione Cooper, who are photogenic when solo.”
Thanks for the list, S.M. But, to tell you the truth, I thought all of our models were photogenic.
Because you can’t keep a bad pick-up line down for long…
SCORE Girls have heard every cheese-encrusted line in the big book of pick-up quips, much more than any average girl. Here’s a few more ’cause it can’t hurt any more than it already does. Bad beyond human understanding.
The pick-up game has become a cottage industry over the past decade. There’s no shortage of online pick-up gurus trying to sell guys their game for a few bucks. They go way beyond spouting a few opening lines. Today, it’s handled like a science. Worthy of a story in SCORE?
Danielle Derek (left): “Do you like magic? Because I have the magic wand.” Alexia Moore (right): "Wanna play house? You be the screen door and I’ll slam you all night.”
Lena Li: “Would you marry me?”
Brianna Costello: "I thought Very-Fine only came in a bottle."
Karen Fisher: “I may not be the best-looking guy here, but I’m the only guy talking to you.”
