No, your friends are NOT dong you any favors, Karen. It might be really keen to get your novice images into the hot 20 time and time again, but they are destroying your credibility. See, artists, especially poser artists, are a real inbred bunch. We talk amongst ourselves. Once it is percieved that you are cheating(even if you aren't) that stigma STICKS with you for a long, long time. And if you are thinking about eventually using poser as a means to earn a living, I can assure you, the perception from THIS bunch WILL come back to bite you in the butt. Take that one to the bank.
