Zander with, or without the goatee?

Is it okay for models to change his appearance, from when they first started? Explain

I like the scruffy look on Zander Floyd and on most men. I don't really care if they are clean shaven or not nor do I care if they body groom. I don't particularly like big bushy growth on beards or pubs but that's my only preference. I also like seasoned places that are a little dirty like Hong Kong and San Francisco.
 
When I spoke earlier about not being happy when models made drastic changes to their appearances, I was obviously referring to more than just a model growing a goatee or a moustache. I'm referring to other more striking and unexpected changes that are not usually for the better. (In my own opinion and perception of a handsome appearance.)

As an example of that in mainstream professional acting/modeling I look back to Mariska Hargitay of Law and Order fame. In the middle of a season and ven in fact in between shooting segments of the same episode, she asked a hair stylist from the set to give her haircut at home of just a light trim. She offered him wine and he got carried away with the cutting.

She still talks about it as the haircut that almost got her fired. Why? Because millions of fans and the success of the show was built on people's love of the characters and actors. When they tune in to see a beautiful women that they expect to look a certain way, and then there's a drastic change, there always the a strong chance that many viewers will be angry and stop watching the show.

She went from looking one way, to looking like a butch lesbian.

Mariska Hargitay Says a Bad Haircut Almost Got Her Fired from ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’

By Chris McKittrick on November 12, 2013@ChrisMckit

Mariska Hargitay has always been front and center on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as Detective Olivia Benson for the show’s entire run (its now in its fifteenth season). But Hargitay’s marathon run on the series almost ended early because of a haircut.

During the third season, Harigtay got her hair cut for an upcoming photoshoot. However, the hair stylist cut a bit more than she expected. She reveals, “My hair was so cute and then all of a sudden, he did the one irrevocable cut. I went, ‘Oh! Oh!’ and he said, ‘What? Honey, you’re gorgeous.’ He kept going. He cuts it and then he leaves. I’m calling the producer at 10:30, [crying], ‘I just got a haircut. I don’t think it looks good!’ I went over to the producer’s house and he was like, ‘Yeah, that’s a problem.’ When they saw dailies [at work], they weren’t happy.”

The problem? Hargitay was in the middle of shooting an episode. In fact, when she called series creator Dick Wolf to tell him about the accidental cut, he replied, “I’ve fired people for less.” Obviously it all worked out, and Hargitay has continued with the series, even winning an Emmy in 2006 — long after the haircut that got her in so much trouble.

Do not like goatees on any model- detracts from facial beauty and we are helping to pay their salaries through membership fees!

While Gardenboy speaks of his own personal opinion on the subject of goatees (to which he's entitled of course) I do agree with his larger point. I'm not speaking about Zander Floyd here or about facial hair like goatees. I'm talking bigger picture here.

Models who become popular and get called back for more work based on viewer satisfaction should not tamper to extremes with the very physical appearance that made them popular in the first place. They can say, "Well it's my body and I'll do what I want with it." That's all well and good if that person is not doing any modeling or acting. But if they are modeling or acting, it's very presumptuous of them to do something drastic and take an attitude of, "Well if the viewers don't like it, they can lump it."

The viewers are the ones paying the models' salaries. It's not the "company's money" that is used to pay them. There's no such thing. Since we don't have any ads in here for candy bars, cars, restaurants or detergents...it's safe to say that all the models' salaries come from viewers' money. And if a model challenges the viewers and fans who fell in love with him based on a particular look and then he makes a drastic change, he needs to be prepared for a backlash of lower ratings and reviews, with less chance of being called back for more future work.

Since I'm going to name names here to make my point, I'll start with one of my most favorite models of my own who upset me with a change. I got used to Colin looking a certain way with a medium cut length of hair. Then he showed up with a crew cut. I told him on the forum something like, "Colin. You know I love you. But I don't like your new haircut at all." He responded with an apology to the fans and an explanation. This isn't an exact quote here. But it was along the lines of, "Yes. I know. My wife doesn't like it. Clay doesn't like it..." I think he even said Mark didn't like it. He apologized and went on to explain what happened. He tried to give himself a haircut at home with a clipping razor. (Presumably to save money on a barber because he was so broke and the fact that he had a baby on the way) He said while trying to cut his hair with the electric razor, he accidentally cut it too deep on the side. Once done, he had no choice but to do the other side the same way. He said he would let it grow out for any future scenes. And he did!

The we have Rocco. He was the dark haired beauty that we fell in love with, in part because he was known for his beautiful long hair. He didn't post on the forum for we don't know if he ever felt bad about disappointing his fans or whether he didn't give a fig what the viewers thought.

So we went from this, to this.

Then we had Ayden who was known for having the most beautiful long curly blond hair. Until suddenly he didn't.

Ayden's the one on top here. lol

I'll stop there just to make my point that models should keep in mind that if they really want to keep making money in modeling that they should think twice before adding a bunch of tats, piercings, hairstyle changes and so on. They can lose popularity and money if they just do whatever they want with their appearance regardless of what viewers of their work are used to seeing.

I find it interesting that out of the 19 folks who've voted on Bob's poll so far, the results to the question:
"Is it okay for models to change his appearance, from when they first started"? are:

Yes 15
No 2
Depends 2

I can sort of understand an objection to tattoos which are permanent, but I have no problem with hair styles or facial hair which is very temporary and can be changed back and forth as they please. These kids shoot a handful of scenes for Broke Straight Boys, but spend 99% of their time with contemporaries and to particularly groom for us seems silly to me. I want to see kids of 2015 look as real as possible.
 
I agree Peter! I only wish they had had more beautiful children for us to admire to this day. LOL
They did tampa two sons who have stayed out of spotlight. And She had two more with other husbands.
All her kids are supposed to be close.
I found her interesting so have read about her. She died at 34 very young.
 
I didn't know that about the other children Johnny. I bet they're pretty. haha
 
Well, since this was a topic of discussion, I figured I'd share this little ditty: Zander Floyd makes the Blog! Nice to see something positive or innocuous, written for a change about a Broke Straight Boys model. This Blog often only high lights negative things about a models porn career, but, not always! Good for you Zander Floyd!
