You're right, it's just a niche which appeals to a certain market segment, but I totally get the feeling that these models genuinely believe that their hair dye, clothing, tattoo's, piercings and vagina make them attractive, reflect their pesronality and that they are being photographed because of some imagined intrinsic value rather than the fact that someone is going to make a heap of money off selling the photos.
