Exactly right, SWAMP. I am usually with you (silently) about 90% of the time, but you got this one 100%. As to the notion by other members that Ms. Goddard is a "porn star," I can only say: As far as I know, she has not engaged in any hard-core projects, nor (as far as I know) has she any intention of doing so. I do not recall any soft-core projects with her, either. If posing nude is considered to be pornographic, then please explain to me the "wrongness" of that as opposed to the "rightness" or acceptability of creating a nude scene with Vicky, etc. The type of image is the same, as are the reactions to said image. When Ms. Goddard posed for Playboy (as the 40th Anniversary Playmate), she wrote on her data sheet: "In my heart of hearts: I'm still a small-town girl." No doubt she has matured some since then, but by all accounts I can find, she remains her down-to-earth beliefs and her pleasant personality. This DAZ project is a first step into the 3D unknown. The uncertain reaction of the community, the risk DAZ is taking with so much time and money invested in the project ... Let us not forget the risks that Ms. Goddard is taking. This is a huge step for her as she continues her modeling career. Being photographed naked in a solitary studio; being published in an international magazine; establishing a personal web page; and now, being a point-and-click, life-like doll. For those of you who do not like the TOS, I understand. For those of you who do not like the specifics of the package, okay. For those of you who do not like Ms. Goddard's appearance, are you nuts? :p But, for those of you who do not like taking that first, bold step into the Unknown, then I guess you will just have to make doodles of it from the safety of your computer. When I get home tonight, I will be visiting DAZ to d/l my first ever 3D item. "Hello, Anna-Marie, and welcome to my world. What shall we do today?"
