Quote - There's a lot of pressure out there for  women to be "perfect" despite the varying definitions of it.

Yup.  In social currency, men are supposed to have wealth and power, women youth and attractiveness.

An old, ugly, fat man can still get any woman he wants if he's rich and powerful.  The same does not hold true for women, no matter how much money or power they have. 

As for the Goth outfit...I like it, but I am so tired of the bare-shoulder look that seems to be almost the Poser default.  Is it because it's hard to avoid poke-through on shoulders or what?  So many Poser dresses have long sleeves that are not attached to the rest of the dress.  How often do you see that in real life?  I know, it's fantasy, but still...there are so many bared-shoulder dresses already.
