/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Is anyone else having problems with 500 Internal Server Errors? Been trying to put an order in all day and they keep coming up.

For what it's worth, I've seen Venus in person at London Expo, which was only earlier this year and she absolutely did not have 'terrible skin', not even close, she looked very pretty in person and yes, was quite doll-like, which is more or less true to how she is promoted. She could easily be 16, she didn't look particularly older to me. Also bodyline do not photoshop their pictures or use particularly flattering lighting for its models (largely due to the time restraints etc), so you have to be very well put together, with decent skin to come across as looking even half-decent on there. Take Nadia for example, she looks ok on the website, clearly a pretty girl but she looks breathtakingly stunning in person or in most of her other images away from Bodyline. The point is, Venus is doll-like and pretty in person with decent skin, it doesn’t prove or disprove any of the other drama but you guys are really clutching at straws with all the 'she looks so old, looks like crap...has terrible skin in person' type stuff.

One thing I did notice though was that in general at the Expo (or at least when I saw her wandering around), people didn't really recognise her, that or they didn't give her much attention, yet her report of the event seemed to suggest that people were queueing up to meet and take photos with her. Hardly a major criticism really considering this is pretty standard in the industry - to make all occasions seem more eventful/ successful/ interesting than they actually were.
