There is an article here written by Alaska Metropolitan about body proportion - while the information isn’t specific to SL and its generally regarded as an “ideal”, it is useful to anyone in SL wanting to make their own shape look good (and not have to pay $400L for a no mod shape as some people are selling).

One thing however the article doesn’t touch on is appearance.
A potential model should be aware that she is nothing more than a clothes horse - its the clothes that matter , not you.

One thing I see in reviews on blogs all the time is stuff like this (no disrespect to the “model” in question here):

Piercings like this are a big no no.

Many people (myself included) really dislike this look and my initial reaction to these images is Yuk! close the window.
So what you say? Thats just your opinion, don’t judge a book by its cover, Xtina says I’m beautiful.

Thats true but what about the product being advertised or shown off?
I am one potential sale that didnt even study the skin on sale here - without the piercings I may have bought it, with them I definately wont.

I think of that skin and I see lumps of metal and rings all over.

How many RL top models do you know with a face full of piercings? I can’t actually think of any and there is a reason for that. You are selling a product, not yourself.
