The Model Sacrifice“Back in the days when I

started, we had our separate

room and there was some kind

‘PRIVACY’ VIOLATIONS

Reasonable Expectation of Privacy

Typically, by going behind

the closed doors of a

bathroom or dressing room, an individual

may reasonably

Stay in your space. In any changing room, space is at a premium with cubbies or

out in front of your neighbors. You wouldn’t want to violate their personal space.
