Who says Uncle Terry doesn’t have any talent? It’s so “perfect”, it’s borderline self-parody.

To be a good researcher, you have to be able to trace the links back like a chain. You got Katy Perry, traces back to Dita Von Teese, traces back to Sherilyn Fenn, traces back to Bettie Page, etc.
So Marilyn Monroe was a natural brunette, but she didn’t stand out, so she went blonde.
The previously mentioned women were natural blondes (not sure), but Marilyn changed the game so much, they had to go dark. However, it’s not to say these women weren’t pretty-faced to be begin with.
I’ve never watched Twin Peaks, or am even remotely familiar with any of these women’s works, but the key to getting anyone’s attention is with a pretty picture. That’s clever, isn’t it?

What is this zany movie Barbarella? Never seen it. But the bluray is coming out. Jane Fonda’s a classic beauty.
Not my review, but one at http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film4/blu-ray_reviews57/barbarella_blu-ray.htm

First look at Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, Disney’s live-action Sleeping Beauty thing. It’s amazing how beautiful all that make-up and lighting can make any photogenic person look. However, I’m not quite sold that Angelina is the right casting. An actor’s persona is just an extension of their own real-life personality. I’ve seen her do “baddie” in Wanted, it’s just not convincing. Now, you look at Charlize Theron doing the evil Queen in Snow White, then somehow it makes sense. Charlize looks like someone with that kind of personality.

Visual cue to make a woman look a little younger: rosy cheeks. It’s relatively easy to Photoshop in some red into a portrait shot of a woman’s face to make her look younger. Granted you are trying to make her look younger. This is how TV and movies make 30-something-year-olds look like teenagers for those angst-ridden teen dramas.

If you’re just getting into the Internet modeling game, how much money should you be charging paying clients (ie, photographers, artists, etc)?
You need to be incredibly reasonable. If you don’t have any experience (that includes your looks) and are not in demand, then you can’t go charging true professional rates like Playboy Playmates or something.
You’ll usually want to start by doing trade-shoots with photographers/artists for content in return. That’s how you build a solid, presentable portfolio. It also shows that you are dedicated to the game, and that you showed up and followed through with shoots.
If you’re not full-time modeling, I’d say $10 to $50 an hour is incredibly reasonable. As long as you have a real day job that pays the bills, those rates won’t turn off paying clients.
But even if you go full-time, you shouldn’t test the waters unless you have a strong market willing to pay your rates. Just because you are willing to pose nude doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to get constant work at $100 an hour. The key word is “constant”. Some JoeBob might pay those insane rates, but your average client won’t be able to. If you use some simple math, get 2 gigs from 2 clients who only play $50/hour at 2 hours each is actually more than JoeBob’s $100 for only an hour.
In the end, it’s about repeat business. If you can milk some poor sap for a higher rate, by all means do it. But the reality is it won’t look good in the long run if you can’t sustain it (you let your looks go, your rates fluctuate, you have an unexpected bill to cover, etc). It’s better to be reasonable and keep those business connections tight by charging reasonable rates.
