AFM, Dang, don't know if I should be impressed with your skills, or feel sorry for myself for not being able to model like that. Pretty and Gorgeous are only two superlatives that would begin to describe, such an effort like that. I'm with Zach and Steve... uncanny how being humble can throw your audience for a loop.
