Quote From: cpreeveThis was a rare case where I disagreed with Dr. Phil's advice to a guest. I didn't realize that Dr. Phil was such a prude. Tracy already has the qualities that Dr. Phil preaches--self confidence, pride, motivation, self-esteem, and identification of her talents--yet he wants her to give up the modeling career that she is seeking. I don't understand that. I'm a middle-aged man, and I don't find anything pornographic or sleazy about her web site pictures. They look like attractive fashion model pictures to me. It's too bad that we've come to take almost any display of the female form as pornography. Why don't we take it as beauty that is to be appreciated. I learned a lot from those focus groups that saw Tracy's pictures as sleazy. (Reactions reveal a lot more than actions.) I learned that those folks have dirty minds that lunge at the opportunity to attach sexual innuendo to any word or picture. This is a problem common to most Americans these days. Tracy, the clothes look great on you. Keep following your dream of being a model until YOU make the decision to follow another path. Best wishes.
Those pics were a little bit more than just "fasion model pics" but I certainly wouldn't call them sleazy- ppl who call them sleazy have apparantly never seen real sleazy pictures. I thought the pics were great- I LOVE fasion, and modeling- I look through mags like Vogue for the ads! Some of her pics I could totally see in a fasion mag, but some were really pushing the edge of sexy and soft porn- there is such a fine line. I think Dr. Phil agrees that Tracy looks great in her clothes, but I think he is just trying to make sure her clothes stay ON! It is so easy to be allured into doing pornographic pictures: the money is great, and since it's photos, it's easy for young woman to not see the harm. If Tracy wants to pursure a proffessional modeling career, she cannot do any photos that are even a little towards that way. I wish her all the luck- you go girl!!!!
