Sweetheart, you have done such a tremendous job - don't let some greedy fool taint it. You are so strong - strong enough to contact an attorney and take back what is rightfully yours!
Cheers
ABBA

Hey...ya i found 2 of those stupid made up story sites with your pictures and they did the same thing with my pictures on myspace as they did to yours...i complained like a crazy person to myspace and to wherever i could to get my pictures down from that stupid ad. I feel so bad this has to happen to you too...everyone on this site should feel safe about putting their before and after pics..but now these dumbass people have to go around and use them for this false advertising. Here is what i found and im pretty sure you maybe already got them but im just letting you know if you dont.
Everytime I log in to myspace I get pissed off over and over seeing what those ad's are doing to you and Ktjean, so I tried to look in to it and found some cases that seem to apply to the situation your both in, to help you maybe take legal action.
You have a good case for filing a complaint for the tort liability of invasion of privacy, which arises from four distinct kinds of activities: (a) intrusion into private matters; (b) public disclosure of private facts; (c) publicity placing a person in a false light; and (d) misappropriation of a person's name or likeness. [Hill v. National Collegiate Athletic Ass'n (1994) 7 Cal.4th 1, 24, 26 Cal.Rptr.2d 834, 848]
Misappropriation of person's name or likeness:
The elements of a common law cause of action for misappropriation of name or likeness are: "(1) the defendant's use of the plaintiff's identity; (2) the appropriation of a plaintiff's name or likeness to defendant's advantage, commercially or otherwise; (3) lack of consent; and (4) resulting injury." [Slivinsky v. Watkins-Johnson Co. (1990) 221 Cal.App.3d 799, 807, 270 Cal.Rptr. 585, 589 (emphasis added)]
Statutory action:
In addition to the invasion of privacy claim, anyone using another's "name, voice, signature, photograph or likeness" for commercial purposes without consent is liable for the injured party's actual damages or $750, whichever is greater. [See Ca Civil § 3344]
