Sooooo... A 2 paragraph post that links to another 8 paragraph post. It seems the only thing required for a clickbait story these days is a black and white boudoir photo. Are we running out of serious things to write about?

This all sounds hot, romantic, sexy.........until the clients that show up look something like this: http://tinyurl.com/kacj9g4

They could have posed them better.

Wow that article was complete nonsense..

Is this a staff writer that got paid for this article??? . . . seems below the standards of Fstoppers.
