I have to disagree, the one example I'm most familiar with is Lindsey Lacey, though admittedly she's not the most computer savy of folks. We've talked about it during our photo shoots, since she stays booked well in advance, there just isn't a good reason right now. Perhaps someday.

To each her own. If there marketing plan is working for them, who am I to argue with it?

If you require a showcase, okay, that is your perogative. No showcase, no visit from Waldo. Perhaps it is their loss, perhaps you are a mere blip on the radar screen of their life.

But, really, it's no skin off my nose however they choose to do things. And, I think you vastly overestimate my importance to them!
Many ladies are HIGH PROFILE in the cities where they live, and cannot show much.
That has nothing to do with how they will treat you, or their experience in pleasing you.

I'm talking about those who have gone to the trouble of becoming verified eccie providers (the only advantages of which are they can post ads and create showcases and I suppose it also shows that someone vouched that they're legit), but not taken the next step of creating a showcase. There's no requirement that a showcase include pictures, so a desire not to show too much doesn't explain why they haven't created a showcase.
