This is a simple game.  The idea is that every person who posts will get critiqued.  One thing that can happen is that two people may critique the same person at the same time. 

The way this works is that every one asks and answers questions.  This way multiple people can get multiple ideas and input.  As I am the OP I will post the first questions regarding my port.  The person who critiques me will answer my questions and give any other statements/information they feel are important to me.  They will then post questions about their own port which will be answered by the next person and so on and so forth.

So there are some rules:

1: Name the person you are critiquing (the first response will be simple as they will critique me) so that if you and some one else are doing the same person they can see who you critiqued.

2: Ask specific questions for your own port first and general questions second

3: If you have already responded to the person who most recently posted go to the first person you have not commented or critiqued on

4: All critiques should have at least one encouraging comment to help us know what is working and what is not working for us

5: Have fun, but if you have a sarcastic thought or joke comment that comes into mind please make sure to note it so people dont get confused as sarcasm is often difficult to detect online.

2: When you critique answer any questions

Ok my question:

Am I off to a decent start with a focus on boudoir imagery?

Is there an image I should remove from my port and why?

What sort of modeling can you see me doing in the future?

What is the best Boudoir image? Why was that image the best?

Which was the the worst boudoir image?  Why was that image the worst?

What is the best head shot?  Why was that the best head shot?

What is the worst head shot?  Why was that the worst head shot?

Any other comments or suggestions?

Holy crap.

How much are you paying per hour to answer all of these questions? So much for 'Fun and Games'!

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SARCASTIC THOUGHT OR JOKE COMMENT AS PER OP RULE 1774, SUBSECTION B, PARAGRAPH 2.

I'll answer the first question. I don't think boudoir is necessarily the best genre for you.  And the images you have are not especially strong. 

I would say you might consider more of a pinup style as a possible direction.

I will ask one question for whoever comes next:
Should I focus on fashion or beauty?

My suggestion would be to have more variety in your shots.  The nudes are amazing, but there really isn't a whole lot of variety in your port.

Thanks for the input.  I am working on contacting and setting up time to work with other photographers to try and get some better shots for this genre.

My comment was based on how your profile said you were looking to get into goth/alt/punk style modeling.  I see one nude that drew my attention to those themes: http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26129284  and clothed: http://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120131/17/4f289b0128345_m.jpg

My favorite shots of yours are:
