.................searching for perfection
ABOUT THIS BLOG
I'm looking for a democratic perfect image of myself. So it is up to you to give me directions how I should change my face and body.
Please always react on the last retouched image in the blog and chose between me-face or me-total.
What do you like to have changed in order to see your beauty in me.

About Me
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_attractiveness#Prototypicality_as_beauty
Prototypicality as beauty
Besides biology and culture, there are other factors determining physical attractiveness. The more familiar a face seems, the more highly it is usually judged to be attractive, an example of the mere exposure effect. Also, when many faces are combined into a composite image (through computer morphing), people usually view the resulting image as more familiar, attractive, and beautiful than the faces that were combined to make the composite. One interpretation is that this shows an inherent human preference for prototypicality. That is, the resultant face emerges with the salient features shared by most faces, and hence becomes the prototype. The prototypical face and features is therefore perceived as symmetrical and familiar. This reveals an "underlying preference for the familiar and safe over the unfamiliar and potentially dangerous". However, critics of this interpretation point out that compositing computer images also has the effect of removing skin blemishes such as scars, and generally softens sharp facial features.
Classical conceptions of beauty are essentially a celebration of this prototypicality. This shows the importance of prototypicality in the judgment of beauty, and also explains the emergence of similarity of the perception of attractiveness within a community or society, which shares a gene pool.

please, dont change too much...
I like the real one better. I don't like her ideas about sexuality but damn she is hot.
I'd simply say:
DARE NOT TO CHANGE AT ALL.
this is a sociological/psychological/... test, I guess.
love urself for who you are.
not what the surgical industry/the male view wants you to be for him.
thx
tonya, 34 yrs.
