And in this case, anyone can see that photos of everyone were taken, but just the woman's faces were cropped out of that particular photo. But like any photo shoot, there would be countless other photos taken, which the photographer holds forever in their computer or website, and can do what they want with. So if the photographer has taken close-ups of the people, then they have that for

Interesting, that again, still, Wikipedia seems to be edited to take out the name of Nicole Daedone's (powerful, connected, wealthy, internet mogul) partner?

And of course, to counter the negative reviews of One Taste, One Taste is shilling reviews on sites like Yelp with their own people, and people directed/suggested to write there. You can see the pattern. The so-called reviewer says something like: ...a friend invited me, I knew nothing about it, everyone was friendly not creepy, they are not a cult, there was no orgy, its all about women&

It seems what has happened, is due to the structure of these companies now, there are almost no journalists on staff, very few. They seem to have a pay-to-print policy worked out.
