Cigarettes are a product which sell themselves to certain people.  Much like V3.  There's a demand: so there's an industry which supplies that demand.  And sure: you can lure people to some extent with advertising.  But advertising only goes just so far.  You can advertise the proverbial baboon meat all day long -- but it ain't ever gonna sell.

There's a reason why the vast majority of grocery-store mass market magazine covers feature pictures of attractive young women.  Both the magazines intended for men and the magazines intended for women do this.  And there's also a reason why the Poser market looks like it does.  A reason that's got nothing to do with an insufficient supply of clothing for Apollo or M3........or for Matt & Maddie.

The matter is so obvious as to be a truism.  Sort of like the world being round.

I recall certain vegan groups not too long ago staging protests demanding that fast-food outlets like McDonald's start offering veggie burgers on their menus.  It was suggested to them that if there was such a demand for veggie burgers, then they needed to open up a chain of restaurants selling them.  No one took up the idea & ran with it.  Or at least if they did: we've never heard anything more about them.

Don't get me wrong: there's a need for clothing for M3 and the others.  It's just that it'll never sell at anything like the level that Victoria's clothing does.  Sorry.....but some truisms are true.  Opposing circular arguments notwithstanding.  Chicken & egg type arguments - which came first, the demand or the supply?  I'd submit that 99 times out of 100 -- it's the demand.

2000 Poser users, no matter how addicted, wouldn't be a sufficient number to keep this small industry alive.  Trust me -- there are far, far, FAR more than 2000.  And most of them have Victoria in their runtimes.
