My take ( and it’s only a guess) is that the Polaroids were real (no idea how he came by them), but when prodded by other members to produce images of another “model”, he resorted to stealing images from other sources on the web.


I agree. There is no way (in my mind) that he took those polaroids in 2015/2016, I'd bet a large amount that they are authentic to the period they portray. The settings scream 1970s or so, and it would be quite unusual to be able to replicate that look so completely in 2015 without a huge amount of effort and some expense.
I think he may be in possession of old Polaroids, but as TriX says, it seems he came off the rails when challenged to post others than "Layla". Some of the websites which came up in my reverse image searches indicate that Layla was reportedly a stripper and escort, so maybe "LaylaFan" paid for the privilege of taking pics of her in the 70's...who knows.

Good detective work. My hats off to you.


Thanks, but even though I thought the different styles/qualities were off, I would have never bothered to look further into it if Rongnongno hadn't discovered the truth.

So disappointing, he disgraces himself, this forum, and the photographers who work so hard to post their own work here. His trick of putting a date on a piece of paper and scanning someone's photos onto it shows no defense. The request by JohnFrim and myself was for HIM or Layla to actually hold the polaroids in hand and take a selfie-type shot. But now thanks to member Thurber Mingus investigative skills, no longer a need for the jury to further discuss the evidence, the imposter has been found Guilty.

And as expected...Laylafan69 has vanished...

As I recall, you mentioned in the "Older Women" thread you are 27...making you 21 when these Polaroids were shot...very impressive at that age! But, not as impressive as when you were 13 in 2008 when this one was "stolen" from you and reposted on a website! You were a prodigy!

And...since you asked so nicely, here is "Pretzel Layla", and the same photo from an exhibition in 2012 (taken by the actual photographer in 1980). You, my friend, are a liar.

well steal is a strong word I guess, but my images have been legally borrowed/taken cause I had an x hamster and before that a tumblr and reddit account since 2015 I got rid of reddit and tumblr quit posting nsfw images. I only posted images that I took or because of my relationship to my friend Layla. Really I don't want to post here anymore so I think I need to go/be banished even though I've met some of the nicest peeps on the net. I'm sure there are a lot of peeps wanting me to leave and I have no ill will toward anyone

Interesting...some pics I've looked up are found on websites by Tineye dating back to 2010 or so. My submissions to this section may not be the best, but you can be assured I've taken them all myself.

Well that's disappointing. I tried it and found links to several pics, but not all of them.

I am not trying to play referee here, but I took Stardust's statement as a compliment to your poses. Maybe I was wrong?



I agree, I also though it was a compliment.
