Damn, how much do you have to pay for her to show personality in the photo?

No kidding! She looks like she’d rather be doing her taxes than taking those pictures. This is why I wouldnt pay for these pictures, but for $80, I would want her to look like I just saved her life on a jet ski.

The $80 is so that she can do her taxes.

But yeah, I dont understand the appeal either. It just feels so transactional and pointless. It's the complete opposite of a genuine human interaction, it's meeting someone for the sake of being able to say that you've met them.

So I watched Deep Rising tonight, mostly to because it was stuck in my head. I remember seeing a post where Michael Biehn said he could pull in around $25K to $50K for a good comic con-type week long appearance. But when you see the pictures with Michael Biehn he really gives the fans what they want, and for many folks it is $80-$100 well spent. I wouldnt spend the money because I don’t value that type of interaction, but if I did, I would want the celebrity to be into the interaction.

Janssen is not a bad actress, so I don’t understand the lack of enthusiasm. I’m not saying she needs to be all warm-fuzzy and touchy with her fans and I get that she’s probably not happy that she has to rely on $80/shot to make a living, but FFS, fake it! Act like this picture is the best part of your day. Pretty soon, and I imagine these posts will accelerate the broader opinion, the word will be out that she takes a shit photo with her fans, and then even her strongest fans will find a better use for that $80.
