OK so I really want to start modelling and a friend of my family took some photos of me then I got my other friend to make an online portfolio slideshow thing. So I want to know, do y'all think it's any good? I'm kinda new at this so it might suck... The portfolio is here:

Really, I'll take any advice I can get. It's OK if you're mean, I can take it.

Edit: Nevermind it's working now.

You're avatar looks way different from the photos in your portfolio. You're a very pretty girl, but honestly I'd try some different outfits on. Something like a catwalk look or in-style. You might want to try some less generic posing as well; I see all these girls in my school who want to become models, and sadly they all do the same boring, dull things in jeans and a T-shirt (Or something similar). Only 2 or 3 made it through professionally, and that's because they tried out different things. By different things I mean eclectic, quirky outfits or outfits that are fashionable on the catwalks, they took photos with unconventional poses (One of the girls who made it professionally did one where she held a kitten in each hand with her arms spread wide).
I don't know, I'm not that good on the subject, but these are the type of things I'd look for if I was critiquing.

Crap... The guy that made the site for me said it would need "java"? I don't know much about computers but he said most people already have it. Do you know if you have it?

You need java for stuff like youtube as well, I would be suprised if you didn't have it, anyway, you can download it here. http://java.com/en/

Edit: not working for me either, could be a problem with the slideshow file.

Try clicking on the slideshow part and the images should pop up.

You're very pretty, but you need to spend some more time in front of the mirror practising different expressions and seeing how you look from different angles. You need to be totally aware of every part of your body, like the shape of your feet and whether your elbow looks disjointed. Try relaxing your jaw too, because your mouth looks tense.

Keep practising

I prefer your natural look like in your avatar, you look good in the first picture though

Well no picture of you standing straight which makes it hard for me to judge you, To be honest.

Your face isn't bad though, so it's good. Though you look a bit "angry" in the pictures.
Even though you're a model it doesn't mean you should look angry, as someone said, try practising some facial expressions.

Same with the poses, not all of them are very flattering.

I don't know how tall you are though, but you should be above 5'7 feet if you want to be a runway model.

I received a severe spyware threat from that link, so forgive me for not looking

Yeah I got a Backdoor Bot after being on that site, it made my computer crash and then when i started it up again someone was signing into my msn at the same time =/

Little white flowers will never awaken you, not when the cold depths have all but overtaken you.

Dearest, The days are all so long,
and in the shadows I spend them all.
My heart and I long for slumber.
Slumber I'm caressing you, I bless your touch, I lust for you.
Slumber you are not a dream, Not as much as you seem.

Worked fine for me, though I was suspicious as always.
Now I'll just have to see if my spyware is acting up. . .
