Thanks for that
Chad. For some of your biggest fans this will take a little longer to come to terms with. You have no more scenes in the can and there won't be more. What is posted in the library is your final resume in modeling. We'll have to accept your decision.
I still say that your skills and beauty were taken for granted. You were asked to carry about 80% of the scene with 2 models in a row who were not motivated to perform a scene anyone would want to watch. It was all on you. All the other 2 models really cared about was getting to the "money shot" so they could get paid. Then right after those 2 scenes you announce your immediate retirement from filming. As I say...it's sad.
Especially for your many fans.
While I still very much enjoy the reluctant straight model premise of the site, the last scene with Cliff might have held more value as an investment if he had gone on to do bigger things through your guidance. Yet I suspect that he was just a flash in the pan and we won't see him again. Maybe I'm wrong. And if so, maybe Cliff still has potential.
I really am very happy for you
Chad that you have a more steady and reliable full-time job now. Or at least I hope it's full-time. Maybe you've been able to quit your day job?
LOL Since you have a degree it would seem that you are/were pretty underutilized behind a concession stand.
I hope that you are happy doing work behind the camera, that they are treating you well and that you are an asset to their team. What I'm really hoping though is that this has ben one of those big moves in life that we all must face by our late teens or early 20's. The one after we graduate college or high school and where we have to decide what we are going to do with ourselves after the minimum wage jobs stop cutting it anymore.
The moment of decision comes when we have to decide if we will stay in the part-time low wage (but honorable and honest) jobs...or if we are going to take the plunge and take on a full-time job that pays far more, but also carries alot more grown-up responsibilities. It's hard to do when you have to let go of the free time and leisure that you already have. There's the realization that some friendships and many favorite daily routines will fall to the side.
But we also have to think that more money is certainly a good thing. Sometimes a career move to full-time means alot more money. We think that health insurance is probably a good thing, even if we are currently very healthy. We think that maybe sick time and paid vacation is probably a nice benefit to have also.
It's comforting to know that we might still see you at some events. Or even in some BTS vids maybe? It would be especially nice though if you could post in the forum now and then so that we might be able to keep up with how you're doing. Best wishes
Chad. I hope we might be able to meet in person one day. But if that should never happen, please know that I wish you a very happy life.
