I call you selfish.

People have the right to do what they want with their lives and its up to them what they wish to show the world. Lorna wants to keep her pregnancy to herself and I think we should accept that. Pregnancy is something very private and special and whoever it is wants to keep it private, it's their choice. It's not a cop-out as you put it, its a choice.

Try thinking about the human being that the model is and not the show they put up for your enjoyment.

How refreshing to see common sense still exists in these forums! Why some fans/users feel that models are somehow OBLIGATED to reveal all/everything simply because they're models is BEYOND me. Such illogic defies reason entirely. Thanks Starscream!

Thank you, Thank you. I accept free passes to the BEA main site as payent Only kidding.

Seriously though, I learnt quite a while ago that there are things that a model does not want to reveal to their fanbase. What they are doing is something they choose to do, they do not have to reveal everything about themselves to fans unless they want to.

But think about it this way, they have already revealed their bodies for you to enjoy. Does that give you the right to know/see everything in their lives? No it doesn't.

Like I said before: Try thinking about the human being that the model is and not the show they put up for your enjoyment.

Well said Starscream, you echo the sentiments of myself and I'm sure many others. Don't you think if we , the fans, could treat the models with more respect, then they, the models, would have a little more respect for us? Seems logical to me.

I guess my post wasn't clear.  My intention was to suggest that she shouldn't feel uneasy about revealing an obvious pregnancy to her fans; it is definitely within her right to keep it secret.  However, it is still frustrating as a fan to see her cover up what is clearly (IMHO) the most beautiful state she has ever been in.  I've never encountered a miscarriage situation directly, but I know how a difficult pregnancy can make a woman very skittish about revealing it to the world.  I may be selfish, but I'm not insensitive.

And not to offend, but **28** give up most if not all of their right to privacy when they become **28**.  They want to be in the public eye, then they have to learn that the public is a very greedy, unfeeling group.  I'm not defending paparazzi or obsessed fans in any way, but it's rather disconcerting to have a model (esp. an adult one) go on about privacy issues.  With some of the adult actresses out there, they have about as much privacy as William Shatner at a Star Trek convention.

Again, this goes back to things being a choice and you as a fan should accept the decision of the model. Now yes, it is a beautiful thing but it is also a private thing. But it's not always a miscarrage situation that can make a model feel that they don't want to show you everything in their lives. A big part of being a model is being made to look available at all times to the fanbase. Now behind the scenes they might have husbands, boyfriends or offspring that they don't want to show this too or have knowledge of. Some models have family who they have hidden this part of their lives from. they don't HAVE to show us everything, you should be happy with the fact that they are showing you anything at all.

You mixing two groups that are not the same at all. **28** give up their spare time to show themselves to the public, most of the extra stuff you see in the magazines is taken from their private lives. They never give up their private lives for anyone, that is just taken.

As for internet models, they choose to show you wantever they want. They present a show for you. They have a lot more choice in their private lives then **28**. The internet might be an open forum for ideas but there is also a screen of privacy that should be respected.

All in all, you have shown TWICE that you are one of the selfish people. If you think someone should show you everything and have their privacy taken away then maybe you should open up your own modelling website and see how it feels to have fans saying "your not giving us enough, we pay for your site so we want you to show us everything about your life" Because that is how you sound right now

If you want to know more about a model then what they show to the public, then be nice to them and maybe one day they will share with you things they won't show anyone else. I spent ages talking to Bambi Blaze when she first joined the BEA and she was nice enough to share a few bits of information about her life that she wouldn't share online with the public because she trusted me enough to let me see that side of her life. I never pressured her into it, she just allowed me to find out.

If you show models respect and kindness instead of your current selfish attitude, then you will find that they will be a lot nicer to you and might even share some private info with you.

Starscream puts it in a nutshell. As well as publishing the Yummy Mummy piece on her own website - and never underestimate the soul-searching she must have gone through before making such a public announcement - she also published the text which was intended to be the basis of an interview with R&D. It is well worth reading that for a look at Lorna's own thoughts on her privacy. If Tig Old Bitties doesn't agree with those thoughts he'd better make his own arrangements.

Needless to say, R&D has caught up and published the interview. Go to R & D and follow the link to Meet the Boss. It is the same interview, slightly polished up, and illustrated with a few (hopefully tasteful) pics of Lorna.

As well as privacy, Lorna also airs her views on the questions of breast implants, breast reduction, bras and babies. As you might expect, those views are expressed with some firmness.

I am grateful for two things. One, that the mystery of "was she or wasn't she?" has been authoritatively answered at last. Two, that Lorna was gracious enough to reveal herself in a most personal way, both on her website and at R&D.

Yes, she is a much-loved model, but she is also a private human being, entitled to a measure of privacy and respect. As much as I perv on the idea of her already-bounteous breasts getting bigger via pregnancy (and, of course, anticipating the joys of lactation), it is entirely up to her how much of her private life she wishes to reveal to the unwashed masses.

You see, sometimes I do think with the head that's on my shoulders instead of the other one

Okay, looks like I'm going to chyme in here, since you guys aren't leaving well enough alone and, afterall, I'm the one who expertly nailed Lorna being pregnant back in January.    LOL

Listen, Lorna blatantly lied in her Forum (Discussing Lorna's Body) concerning her pregnancy.  It was NO big deal to me that she lied about it.  What was weird was how completely ridiculous it became to deny it when others later questioned it, and anyone with an IQ over 20 could clearly see that was a gloriously pregnant woman we were admiring!  There we were, in her forum to discuss HER BODY!?!  It was just INSANE to deny it and expect to be believed. LOL  It was something out of a Monty Python sketch and reminiscent of the Information Minister for Saddam stating on LIVE TV "we have slaughtered the Americans, there are no Americans here..." all the while U.S. tanks are in the background blowing things up! LOL!  It got to the point where, after all the cover-up shots, I was expecting to ONLY see Lorna's face photographed because a milk truck was needed to cover her body!

I think the heart of the matter here fellahs is... the lying. I felt bad for her... it was seemingly like she was in denial.  

Hey, I think there's a funny picture to be created/photoshopped in my post....

I hope you found the R&D interview informative and possibly entertaining. It was meant to have more stuff in it, but Lorna was most co-operative and gave full and revealing answers so it provides a bit of insight. What is more, not a word of it was the invention of a spliffed-up editor.

It's ironic, don't you think? You used the word "lie" three times in that one post. If you'd tried to use the word on Lorna's BBS, the software would have converted it to "fib". Quite pecufib, really.

You're right, we're not leaving well alone, because after your initial look-at-me-me-me post, almost all of the responses - at least, the rational and mature ones - have been totally supportive of Lorna and her chosen course of action.

[pulp]

I did NOT mention in my INITIAL post that Lorna lied.  I was simply "patting myself on the back". Lorna's: "Is she pregnant, does she have implants?  Using latest injection techniques? etc?" discussions were some of the most hotly contested big boob ones going on in chats, PM's, Hubs, Forums, Emails etc... Heck, I even emailed several comparison pix to buddies who didn't agree she was pregnant. This was probably the hottest topic in the massively jubblied NAT boob world! Of which, I may add, I am a longstanding member, at large.... D-OH!!!  
 
I got some flack for mentioning my thoughts way back in January...and I have to admit, yes, it was good to be publicly vindicated by Lorna.  

[doggo]

The flak obviously wasn't accurate enough. I'd suggest a battery of 88's at point-blank range. May I be the first to volunteer to lay the guns myself?  

[pulp]

Ohhh, please do, milk filled ones!  

[doggo]

Sorry, they're only 88mm, not 88 inches.  

[TheZookie007]

OK, OK, so you got it right. She was preggers. What do you want, a gold medal or something?

And on the scale of lies, this one isn't as earth-shattering as "I'm only saying this once, I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinsky" or anything. Not so much of a lie, as it is a little, well, misdirection. Her body, her right to fib, at least a little. (Just don't make a habit of it, Lorna dear, or else I shall have to bring out the paddle...)
