Beauty is in the eyes of the editor

“Who is this?”

People kept on asking about this picture that I put on one of my many computers at work.

“Is she a model?”

I spent the better part of my weekend helping her establish an online presence as well as experimenting with the power of photoshop. It’s the first time that I get to play with a higher resolution image and a well placed shot like this. Although I’d like to claim some credit, truth is, she took the picture herself. I am still not skillful enough as a camera man to help my subjects get through the uncomfortable stage. The session that we planned together to take pictures ended up being a giggling fest.

It used to be that you only need to create your own site, but since her goal is to become popular, I had to sign her up to numerous social sites, retyping the same info over and over again. Her main page will be on http://mistressbailey.nutang.com and I’ve been doing some modification slowly to achieve the goal we set for this site.

While working on the site, I became more and more aware of an undeniable fact. That people pay way too much attention to a girl with a beautiful face. I created an account a few weeks before her in order to test the layout and editing. I’ve actively participate in the forum for development issues and have generate traffic for the blog network. (Still am one of the top lurker&contributor so far). Her site, in one day, received more comment and replies from a “Hello” post than mine did through the few weeks. I was aware of this phenomenom before, but never in my imagination did I imagine it to be this big of a gap.

Back to the main topic. After my co-worker’s questions, I started to ask the same question myself. Maybe she should become a model, or some type of celebrity with a nice face. We’ll see how far we can push it. So here’s my question:

Do you think she should be a model? Or, make it as one.
