"There's a number of different websites where you can create a virtual model. You can try on clothes. Generally, these tend to be involved with various shopping sites because if you can buy it online over the Internet and you think that it's going to look good on you, then they're going to be able to sell more so they're going to like it...like to do that for you. One of the ones that we...I could find easily was one that's at Land's End. There's a number of...number of sites that basically point to the same one. With that one, you can select if you're a guy or a girl, what your face shape looks like, what your body shape looks like. You could put in your height and your weight, put in what your build is, what your figure tends to be. If you're older or younger, the sort of shape of your face, whether your lips are thinner or fuller. Basically, you can probably spend a bunch of time just playing with various things and saying, "No, really. I look better this way, don't I? Yes, really." But go ahead, try it out. You go to Land's End, you type in model in the search box. It'll come up with a My Virtual Model, and you can click on that and then start playing from there."
