I've bought a lot of models & textures... Not to say i'm an expert (except with my charge card, LOL). I purchase female characters that have interesting AND pretty faces. I like makeup options, but not green, blue, or purple lips to match. Don't need textures for nail polish, or tatoos, especially on the face. I admire Handspan Studios characters - the body types are so feminine. If you're gonna have characters, what's wrong with them being attractive? I don't see any beauty in Supermodel Vicky, but I adore Jim Burton. I remember 'Stormi'for V2 - she was so quietly beautiful. And ByteMeOkay has perfected some ethnic types to a tee. One thing I really look at is the eyelashes - if they're good it makes a big difference. BillyGoat
