Hey everyone. With time on my hands, I have been trying to locate older WAM images from disks etc, How about we share some pics from before our fetish got so mainstream? Say pre-2001?
Nice idea....cuts me out though I only found UMD in 2004 before that I was posting messy pics of myself on Yafro and lost so many photos when it crashed
Nice to see photos though from before it got so "normal" to get messy.
Great idea! Looking for pics from before 2001 made me remember again just how exceptionally good Rob Blaines work was ... and just how much it shaped my personal perception of WAM as an artform.
His dedication to quality in every aspect of his work was outstanding! I still remember when I discovered his work at the time when the internet was just becoming a thing and we were using dial-up modesm and waited half a minute for a single image to load. It didn't take long and almost all of his video-tapes arrived at my place ... along with his messyfun newsletter. His work was an inspiration for me.
R.I.P. Rob
Whoever holds his copyrights now, I hope you don't mind I post some of his shots here ... I did a little photoshop magic on them to underscore their outstanding quality!

Great job on those photos! I'm no photoshop or digital photo guy but from what I can tell, you made those old photos look great! Almost look like they were taken now!

A few more in that sense ... seeing those shots from Daizy back then blew me away ...
Shaun from messyfun in that green, blue and yellow house paint was pretty much my trigger time into the crazy world of messy stuff just incredible scenes
Pippa loved her vinyl, but my favorite thing about this old muddy Splosh pic from the MPV-BBS days was that not only was she completely filthy, she looked like she *loved* being filthy. IMO, That was one of the iconic shots from the genre back then.

I'll second that. Messy Fun (and Shaun's paint set) was a seminal moment.
Creeping into the university computer 'lab' (as they were still called then), late at night in order to get the workstation in the corner where the screen couldn't be seen by anyone else, to download picture after picture
...and the happy, dawning realisation that there were others doing - and photographing! - what up until then I thought might be a freaky, solo, weird and secretive pastime...

The picture on the right is of Pippa, but the one on the left is of Debbie from a WSM shoot, and presumably the graphics on it are from it being also marketed by MPV. Perhaps Mike Ellison can furnish further details.
The 1983 Playmate Playoff pictorial is what started it for me. This was the muddy group of pictures from the set. There was also shaving cream pies and soapy shower pics too. And my fav, messy Playboy BUSH!

When Dave began the MPV BBS he had no original material. In keeping with the custom of the time he gathered mainstream stuff and public domain work and gave it the BBS watermark. An early contributor of a lot of stuff was of course Rob Blaine and the late great Chuck Lang. Chuck was pretty unsophisticated about things and had no model releases for any of his work. Dave figured that when Chuck passed away the permission to use his work went with him so it was all removed. While Dave still has an enormous collection of mud/qs photos from the old days it's all private and MPV is now all original creation.
Getting to that original work - Here's some images I took in 1998 with our first intentionally messy shoot. Sisters Mina and Lucy Lee had fun with an early mud wrestling scene we shot. They...we, were all so young. They are still brilliant smoking hot grown up women. I'm afraid Dave and I have not aged so well.
