I like the idea of "adventures" but I don't understand the interest in trash.
I guess I don't understand the appeal of garbage as opposed to nice fresh food. I find the concept a bit off-putting.
Thanks JaMC for the compliments on poses, etc. I try for realistic looking images. As you can imagine, I have a problem with realistic 'sets'. The plastic tray was my idea of a 'dumpster' and having it at a food factory implied (in my mind anyhow) that the contents were fairly fresh, as the plant had just shut down for a holiday.
If money and time were no object, I'd set up a conveyor belt with vats of sticky goodness all around to represent part of a food assembly line.
In an older set, the 'dumpster' of food did include what I described as 'rancid' jam, which I agree is off-putting to me, but I was attempting to appeal to the few people on here who seem to enjoy the 'gross factor' of seeing women getting messy. (and we see it with things like mustard, mayo, etc. which smell and burn the eyes, etc.)
I'm just trying to come up with adventures that can involve lots of mess, in a believable story line. I'll try to ensure that the messes are 'clean' ones from now on. (no spoiled food, etc.) I had thought this one was ok, as the plant had JUST closed and the dumped food was all fresh. But I guess the fact that it was in a dumpster was off-putting.
I really appreciate your feedback, as I want people to enjoy my work. A load of time goes into doing these.
