Actually I think it's cool that they have some imperfections, I'm not perfect and I would prefer my models (real or otherwise) to be like me. Provided they don't massively alter the shape or hang of the clothes then celebrate the wonky imperfect bits 🙂

The best is through a glass darkly, solitaire second and ringmaster's daughter deserves a mention as it's the most cross I have ever been at an author, while appreciating that was exactly the aim.

Me too, this thread resonates so much! I was defined as "educationally subnormal" (UK term for too disabled to learn anything) I now supervise PhD students and teach psychology. It's often a failure of the education system rather than the individual. Interest and motivation are key to learning.
