[QUOTE="danielh41, post: 58665240, member: 293461"] Mandy, did you read FlamRatamacues's responses? I can't recommend them enough. Here is the passage relative to your post: [I]The original post mentions that proportion can generally be learned if the model wears a swimsuit. While this is true, I find that it degrades the model.
