**PLEASE NOTE** I DO NOT post "VOTE FOR ME" ads or banners, especially for pin up or modeling contests. I have been a judge too many times for pin up and modeling contests and have no interest in people getting all pissy because they think I support one model over another... I just try to avoid the drama altogether. So... NO pin up contest comments will be posted here ever. Sorry! Good luck though!
