Terminal Hotness

Actually.... TerminalHotness.com

I'm hyping this all over hell and back, and I'm getting a bit of a mental blind spot, so if it sounds like there's something missing in my explanation, just go to the site and check it out.  :)

This past weekend, a confluence of events created something worthwhile and important:

  • A photo of a hot redhead sent from a friend
  • A discussion in which it was revealed she has serious medical issues
  • The realization of just how many of my friends are in the same boat
  • A significant amount of wine
  • Ownership of a web-hosting company
  • The ability to create web-sites on a whim

Hey...  some people get drunk and create babies... I get drunk and create websites.  :)

This one looks like it just might grow up and be something important.

I'm a photographer.  I know lots of other photographers and models.   As I said, I've been hyping this where ever I can... and it's picking up some steam.  Whether it's enough to sustain itself or not, I don't know.  I can only hope.

Go to the site.  Read the info.

If you know of anyone who might qualify and be interested, let them know.  If they need a photographer, point them in my direction:   I know photographers all over the world who would be more than happy to donate their services to the project.

Go!  Look!  Read!  Spread the word!

Shoo!

:)

Terminal Hotness

6/27/2010

I haven't posted here in a very long time.  I've been busy with other stuff, and I know that nobody really reads this.

Tonight I started something.

Terminal Hotness

Almost every campaign I've seen dealing with debilitating or terminal diseases has shown "sick" people in an attempt to  get our sympathy.

That's absolutely the wrong approach. The average person isn't sick; they can't identify with that person lying in a hospital bed.   Yeah, sure, it makes us all feel a little bit guilty.  But we don't want people to feel guilty.  We want them to be scared. People are really really good at rationalizing guilt.  They  suck at confronting their fears.

Terminal Hotness approaches the issue from two vectors.

  1. This doesn't happen to "other people".  This doesn't just happen to people who are poor, or elsewhere, or (let's be honest) not pretty.
  2. These people are stronger than you, healthier than you, prettier than you... They're doing everything right and it still hit them.   What chance do you have?

If you  have something to contribute, please do.  If you know someone that qualifies as a model, please refer them.

This is grassroots.  The  soil is tilled and ready.
