Playmate of the Year 2004 Carmella DeCesare Garcia is exercising some serious face control ... because the model's suing a Cleveland nightclub for using her image without asking first.
In a lawsuit filed in Cleveland, 27-year-old DeCesare claims a local nightclub named "Sin" plastered her face all over a flier without her permission ... and more importantly, without paying her a dime.
Club owner Gordon Stojkowski tells us, "I have no idea about this lawsuit."
DeCesare -- who married former Cleveland Browns QB Jeff Garcia in 2007 -- wants at least $25,000 in damages.

God, talk about anorexia. I'm so sick of these false images of women as barbie dolls. Get some real girls.
Seriously, WHY SHOULD WE CARE? HONESTLY!?!?!I bet you can't even watch 6 minutes of this without crying.
Honestly, if you can watch even 6 minutes of this WITHOUT crying i'll PERSONALLY send you 25.00 with paypal.

This happens too often and more celebrities and models need to sue these nightclubs to send a message.

This stripper's body has been used by midgets, African tribesmen, circus geeks and half the inmates of the State asylum.
Her va-jay-jay has seen more action than Shauna Sands'.
And her husband's career took a nosedive after hooking up with her.

What ever happened to Shauna Sand anyway? I think she had some high stress with boyfriends not too long ago, so maybe she's just taking time out of the spotlight for some R&R? Be well.

I honestly thought this was normal if you go down to Little T.J. aka: Huntington Park-- on Florence to be exact there are billboards all over with the images of Kim K, Shakira, Eva L., etc. promoting sales...

Heh...
Whether or not she's a whore, the aspect remains: Nobody can use your image without your consent! Get that into your thick skulls! As a photographer, i'm sick of dealing with the ignorance of the masses when it comes to IMAGE COPYRIGHT and OWNERSHIP.
