    i guess merchandise with pictures of the girls on it would be ok, for the members, i didnt even think of it that way. if thats the case then i'm sure there would be some very different ideas floating around. i still think the undies would be wicked! xoMJ

      i love the shirt idea with the names on it. college style - rather american terminology.

      that'd be a fun shirt a group of girls in abby shirts with their names on them.

      wow this is the second post i've made about shoot ideas. maybe i spend too much time on the site?

        And then you could all swap shirts and we have to guess who's who - and put you all back together again in the right shirt kinda like a human jigsaw.

        I hope i speak for everyone when i say NO NEVER!! You should actually spend MORE time, especially if it's posting in the forums and "chatting" with us!!

        You and me both maryjane!! (Though possibly for different reasons but it's all good!)
        We might be in the minority too - although you can exert direct influence on AW staff - try threatening not to do another shoot unless it's in AW undies!!

          it'd be a pretty neat promotion to get some abby t-shirts and knickers printed up, and do a 10 girl T1 shoot with all the girls dressed in the merchandise.

                It surprises me that Abby doesn't appear more interested in making merchandise. I mean AW is a business and it seems to me that there are plenty of people willing to throw cash your way for various merchandise pieces which promote the business.

                Even merchandise on a small scale, there is obviously a market here for it.

                  I am only speculating but AW is currently short staffed, and working hard to get ready for a major change to the structure of the site by the new year.

                  The relatively small profits from T-shirts etc may not be worth the extra hassle in the present context.

                    of course right now abby might have other issues to worry about. i know that quality of print was one. i think that there will definatly be some sort of merchandise in the future! (OR ELSE) he he he. if it was merchandise that had pictures of the girls on it, a coffee table book might be cool. xoMJ

                      yes this would be nice,especially if they hand picked the prettiest pictures on the website as i,ve just posted.or maybe ones new and not seen anywhere else.

                        We can't make a coffee table book because most of the models have not signed the appropriate releases.

                            Some versions of the model release are more flexible than others and offer us more rights than others. However, many of the most flexible versions are not in common use and the vast majority of our models signed releases that do not give us rights to hard-copy reproductions. There are specific business reasons why this is so that I can't discuss. Even if we started using the most flexible version of our release for every model, it might still take us a couple of years to amass enough models under that contract to put together enough pictures for a decent book of the type being discussed.

                              We're unlikely to do more merchandising. I was against it for a long time (cos it's cheesy and lame), but let everyone talk me in to it for the t-shirt thing. Got 2000 made about nine months ago, and we've sold 10, maybe 12.

                              People who post ont he boards represnet about .01% of the membership of the site.

                                  That sounds fair enough to me. How much are the shirts in Auzzie dollars? Can I just drop by HQ and pick one up?

                                  Come on guys! Get in on it. If we can all buy out the current stock of shirts we can show how popular they are and then maybe Abby will change her mind on other merchandise. Me buying one shirt wont do it, come on team effort guys!

                                    Yup, any model is welcome to grab a t-shirt for nix - just as Val at HQ.

                                          with all those spare t shirts laying arounb getting in the way and tripping people over, it must be an OH&S issue. my suggestion is that the loyal followers of AW ( i am including my self here ) are sent the shirts to be proudly worn for all to see

                                                  as much as t-shirts seem like a good idea in theory... there's absolutely no way i'd wear an abbywinters.com t-shirt in public. the last thing i want is people i know seeing that written on my chest and then hunting for me on a site that they'd otherwise most likely never have found. i'd imagine a lot of our members don't really want to publicise their pornography habits to the whole world, either. it's not like an AW tshirt is really something most people can wear to their next family BBQ...

                                                    rachel i totally understand what you are saying. i think i would only wear my t-shirt on holidays and to bed. but that depends i do wear my beautiful agony t-shirt around. i just want to encourage people to buy the merchandise rather than talk about it!

                                                      I'd be happy to wear thwe shirt anywhere. I don't think it would really bother me. My generally philosophy of life is: If you're too ashamed to tell people about it, you probally shouldn't be doing it in the first place. I know there are places wearing a shirt like that isn't appropriate but that is their issue and not mine. I'm hoping to come in this week and pick up my shirt. I'll be sure to post a pic.

                                                          I think like others have said i don't want to go around with a website address on a t-shirt which people could then look up. But I understand that abbywinters.com is the name of the brand so having a more subtle "AW" logo is not possible. I'd be tempted to put my money where my mouth is to buy one and just not wear it/throw it away/give it to charity, but that's also kinda against the point!

                                                          Def. like to see pics of models sporting the t-shirts though Jemma - and maryjane you could always be innovative and make a pair of 3 legged undies out of them!

                                                            No chance mate. I'd wear my shirt every chance I get. There will be no 3 legged undies for me! I've got far more shocking shirts than anything AW could produce. I appreciate that everyone is different and not everybody does want to sport a logo but if I ever do see another person in the street wearing one I almost feel it would be my duty to shake their hand and buy them a beer. I doubt it would ever happen though but it would be pretty cool.

                                                              I want an aw t shirt, and I'd wear it wherever possible-ok maybe not to work as I work with children, and not to church cuz it's be strange, but definately wear it as often as possible. I'm the same as Jemma, I've got worse t shirts then the ones aw produce, although I'm not sure about other merch. I think it'd be cool having the undies though, I know I'd wear them too.
