So if you look in the first picture of this post you’ll notice that picture is amazing. I saw it yesterday for the first time and it was posted by someone I have followed for a long time called @nomalez and his reaction was “Who is that girl”.  I had the same reaction.  And the original source had no details and it is this very frustrating thing you see  all the time on the internet, models or artists and you see their work and there is no way to know who it is from because someone saved the picture and reposted it.  Sometimes that can’t be helped.  By the time it gets to whoever posted it they just saw it and saved it and it was an unidentified nebulous model.  So I did some digging because I am really good at research. It took a while because her picture just lead to a lot of tumblrs and pinterests and message board with names like, “Fine Black Girls” and “Body Paint OMG” and so on.  Nothing about who did it.  Eventually I found an instagram with the picture that was of that sort and a comment from the photographed who goes by Mymanbriscoe claiming ownership.  I followed it back and yup, he took the picture and the girl is named Nikky Coole.  This was a lot of work and work I realize most people don’t do because they aren’t insane.  But this is a crime. Not that they aren’t doing the work but that pictures are disseminated this way. It is our job to stop it when we can.  You have seen the blogs who really perpetuate this and you can stop it by not following them and not reblogging them.  I see stuff sometimes that I would like to reblog but I don’t because under the picture, rather than the name of the model who is in the picture or the name of the person who took the picture or the name of the person who drew the comic is just gross self promotion.  You know it, “For more like this click here and follow Hot XXX Sluts”.  It’s a problem in like 12 ways sometimes but the big one is that these blogs are taking these pictures, and let’s be honest most of the time taking them from tumblrs so they could just reblog it, reposting it to get attention and notes for themselves, and just promoting themselves.  At best these will just say a name and a link back to their blog.  I avoid these blogs and you should too.  They are easy to spot.  If you see a humor blog and the comics and pictures on it are all over the map, that blog is not creating them, they are stealing them.  If you see pictures of models you don’t recognize and it is just a link to Hot Models or Gentleman Boners or whatever, it’s one of those blogs.  Here is the reason this is an issue, that top picture was taken by a photographer in Philadelphia and the Model is from France and the picture was taken in Washington, DC.  Which means she had to arrange people to shoot with while she was in the US.  To do this she needs to be known as a person. You may not be in a position to hire her or have any desire to and so you probably think it doesn’t matter but you are costing her money.  Every person who is self employed is essentially a small business.  The hardest thing about working for yourself is getting work.  Not because you aren’t smart or capable or hardworking but because most of the world has no idea you even exist.  So if someone who might like her work sees her and no name… people are busy, most people can’t put in the effort.  And why are those blogs doing it?  Cause they want to drive up their own follower and note count.  It’s of no benefit to them except basically e-peen bragging.  So what I am saying is try to be conscious of this.  You can do your part to help this by basically not encouraging those blogs.  You don’t have to do what the original poster did, he goes above and beyond linking every bit of social media a model has when he reblogs her.  You just have to not encourage the bad behavior.  Anyway, I don’t have a ton to say about Nikky Coole herself.  She says she is an Actress, Model, Writer, and Producer on her various bits of web presence.  I don’t know more than that because everything else is in French, which makes sense given she is French.  I think she is hot and that’s all my posts boil down to some days.  I see a girl, I see she’s hot, she ends up here. She’s here because she’s really hot in that first picture.  Today I want to fuck Nikky Coole.
