Merge[edit]

I don't think that alternative models are the same or even similar to fetish models, so I don't think that the articles alternative model and fetish model should be merged. Nevertheless, many alternative models are also fetish models and vice-versa, but not always. I'm a photographer specializing in alternative models and fetish models so I know their differences, and their similarities aren't enough to warrant being described in the same article.

I too agree that Alternative Model is not similar to fetish models, unless one does not understand fetishes or the word alternative. Also the page has references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drbillyg69 (talk • contribs) 05:48, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Absinthia Stacy's real name is Anastasia Roupakioti[edit]

Absinthia Stacy's real name is Anastasia Roupakioti (in Greek: Αναστασία Ρουπακιώτη), she is an amateur alternative model from Peristeri, Athens, Greece, now 19 years old. Absinthia Stacy is her old name from before she turned 18, the article should use her real name which is the name she uses to sign modeling releases and do her current work.

That is wrong, whoever you are. Absinthia Stacy's real name is Anastasia Rousaki (Αναστασία Ρουσάκη). I've been to her home and I know her. Iodm8 (talk) 18:26, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
