I found this post on Craigslist Vancouver and was going to post some of the follow up messages that were there but they had been deleted by the time I got back to it.
This appears to be someone that was looking to boost their portfolio in the original message and appears to be innocent enough as there are tons of these across the CL network. He/she obviously hit a nerve with someone and I only post this so that those that are looking on that site for models you might want to note how important wording is for your ads.

[Errors when replying to ads?]
Hoping to find a few young, in-shape models for a shoot. Want to do two shoots, female and male model.
the shoot will be great experience and love to have someone with an acting background if possible. Looking to have model emote specific emotions while being nude, and be able to express energy beyond just sitting around naked
Please reply with your information, experience and portfolio--fresh faces are welcomed, but please send some pics, even candids.

WHOEVER POSTED THIS AD HAS ZERO INTEGRITY NOR CLASS
The professional fashion industry; be it couture or commercial
would be absolutely horrified and disgusted to see such content in a models portfolio.
This "model" would be abruptly dismissed.
I have worked as a fashion consultant for Versace, DIOR, YSL, Prada, miu miu,
Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Lanvin, Balenciaga, Helmut Lang, Jill Sander,
Armani and Hugo Boss. My mother used to live in Paris doing cat walk runway for
Coco Chanel, YSL and DIOR. She then ran her own modeling agency in Germany.
I can assure you that your advertisement for actor/models to be energetically nude
to be useful in any form within a professional portfolio is an insult.
You are misrepresenting the fashion world and exposing yourself as a fraud.
Your "creative shoot" will provide your "models" with prints acceptable for the
porn industry. You could at least take ownership of what you are interested in
rather than pose as competent and valuable for fashion.
The sad thing is there are many young women that may assume your "portfolio"
photos will be suitable. They will be shamefully embarrassed should they present
such garbage to any reputable fashion house.
This ad is particularly disturbing re "fresh faces welcome" "send even candids",
Should an underage would-be-model find herself in such a "photo-shoot" I hope
someone in her family/friend circle has the where-withal to inform the RCMP.
This is a exploitative posting.
