Default SG Girl

Ok no i'm not working with SG. But I have been shooting a calender for a non profit organization and found out one of the girls is a sg girl. She hasn't had a set since 2006 because they claim her to be too fat since she had a baby (she is 100 lbs and got told to drop 30 lbs before coming back) So i believe they are released after 2 yrs so I should be fine to shoot her? I allready did the pictures. But i keep hearing of people being sued by sg and losing their entire lives because they took photos of a girl.

she hasn't done a set since 2006 im just not good with legal jargon. I don't think i count as a sg competitor because i am not a porn site but you never know. I just wanted them for my portfolio and a single clothed image is for the calender.

have you tried contacting sg? Since she is no longer working with them it shouldn't be a problem but I would definitely double check, you never know what contract someone signed.

Well, the only one who may or may not be obligated to SG, is the model, it's for her to worry about.

firstly, jealous! I'd love to shoot for or with a SG!

i'd say you're in the clear, but yes, shoot them an email just to make sure.

did she have any GS ink on her? I know a few of them have the logo tattooed on them.

No she has no SG ink. Im shooting a girls of gaming calender featuring a bunch of hot nerdy girls. She runs a war hammer organization and runs the large tournaments in the city. I know her through some of the conventions I help run because I run most of the Dungeons and Dragons and Magic tournaments and stuff.

You can see some of the stuff I have done under portraits - glamor on my website. I know im still an amateur but the calendar is for a con I help so im doing it for fun and gas money.

Do you play D&D? I do too

You shouldn't have to worry about working with her if she is not still under Suicide Girls. Her contract is up. Think of it as an agency. You have to contact the agency before you work with her, but if they agency drops her, she is free game.

I like your website name. Before the kids came I used to spend a lot of time with WoW. Great idea for a name though.

Never heard of SG before now, but a quick google found out that they haven't won a single lawsuit. Given the contract and that it's been 4 years, you're good to go.
