No face pictures in showcase a deal break?

Deere, in my opinion no...it is "fake" because that isn't normal life. Is it WRONG, not one bit, cause I have had work photos and personal photos taken at a studio of myself. But you show up and see the person on the left but she shows you the photo on the right...no one would be happy..unless they knew they were meeting Madonna. So yes, photo fuckery is bullshit. I'm sure I have broken my own rules yes, but when it comes down to it..."points" are deducted at the beginning.

And that is understandable, but while you have a picture on your showcase with you in sunglasses, that is better than none. Maybe what some women don't understand, facial recognition (whether person to person or computer searching) is 80% recognizable to the eyes. The reason being, sunglasses are so important because facial recognition use the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, the width between the eyes, and the eye sockets in general to "make a match" So yes, some people says sunglasses don't work..you put 5 similar woman side by side, the person will only guess 1 in 5 correctly the woman in the picture with sunglasses.
I don't show mine due to my RL stuff.. but I'm very pretty as well. I've been told I have gorgeous eyes on multiple occasions. I don't wear a lot of makeup either.

I know ALOT of my business comes from having face pics!
(Many men express that when contacting me)
Also my hot reviews, great professional pics AND plenty of cell phone ones.

Meh my face in most pics has a light-medium blur ... if they want to use software or w/e to unveil go nuts but I won't make it too easy for them (especially after 2 people from RL when I was totally unblurred felt so inclined to call me by my real name after recognizing me). I've been tempted in future shoots to use a heavy blue or turn my face from the camera or wear a mask or something. a light-medium blur hasn't hurt me financially and I doubt a heavy blur or mask will either.
Face Pics if you can even if its a side profile or put a block on part of it.
Well most people look better in pics Bottom line. You spent time to get dolled up and are just sitting there prissing your not bent all over in various positions..
I always like it when they say your pictures don't do you justice you look better in person and I always say GREAT I never want it to be the othe way around. But men remember you are getting to the woman who has dropped off the kids scurried about and done this done that to get to you not the lady that took hrs to get dolled up to just sit in front of the camera.

And Hell That Madonna Pic where is that soft ware?? I WOULD USE IT If I had it on my pics... she don't look bad any way .
