My Virtual Model

While surfing Craig's List a poster shared a fun website called My Virtual Model. Your model can be skinny, plump, or obese, and there are a number of facial styles, body types, and skin tones to create a nearly virtual you (or maybe you prefer a fantasy you).

The models are created to be viewed 180-degrees so you can choose whether you want a front, side, or back view. My one complaint is that none of the hair styles include curly, so my virtual me was a bit lacking.

The real purpose of My Virtual Model is to allow its users to try clothes on before buying when window-shopping online. Sears, Lands End, Glamour, Gurl, and iVillage are among the stores linked with My Virtual Model.

But the real fun is playing with your model. It's like having an online paper doll to dress up. But in this case you're seeing how you look with various body shapes.

Go ahead, give it a try and have some fun.
