It's a lazy Saturday afternoon so it's a good time for some casual, instructive critiques in 20 words or less.

I'm fairly easy to get along with, but will give you my opinion without being overtly harsh. However, that said, I tend to be a tad bit harder on bios. A bio is a resume of sorts and should be on target.

Just for fun, and no, I do not invite a return critique.

If you wanna play just let me now?

Edit: Closing this one out. Thanks for playing!

Wonderful bio! Nice variety of images. Love your look. Posing is slightly static. Need studio headshots. Well done!

Bright future in the business. Ooze sexy innocence. Port all over the place. Some images painfully bad. Find accomplished photographer.

From bio, to port to website should be required reading/viewing for every model on Earth. Stunning!

Very attractive. Picture laying on bed excellent. Lose the red wig. Find a good fetish/nude photographer. Work on posing.

Very attractive. Lose the top row of pix. Take out "family important." Red flag. Port is varied, well done. Headshots needed.

Wow! Wonderful port. Your images say "I'm ready to work!" While I applaud you for having a website it is a disaster.

May I ask what about the website is a disaster?  Is a technical issue or content issue?  I have heard of some technical difficulties with certain browsers.

For the life of me I cannot figure the purpose of your website? Are you an actress, singer, model, arts consultant, a salesperson looking for a job or a combination of all?

Your gallery is buried under the Personal link and when you click the link I was taken to a multitude of thumbnails that appeared more Facebook than  Gallery.

The site is difficult to navigate and extremely wordy.

Sorry...

I would agree that the purpose is convoluted.  I wish I had chosen a pseudonym for modeling because I've put myself into a precarious situation.  The majority of of people who Google me are doing so for modeling purposes.  Another large segment are searching for my music theatre info.  Those two groups can be combined fairly easily, but following the completion of my master's degree last year I have a huge number of business employers looking at my website, as well.  I thought my welcome page and tabbed divisions took care of this, but apparently the solution is not working.

I'm considering splitting the site more distinctly into into two completely separate divisions: one for modeling and music theatre and another for corporate information.  Do you have any thoughts on this potential solution?

Yes, modeling/acting one website. Professional/business another site. That works. : )

If you consider my critiques "BS" or not worthy then report me to the Mods.

I've seen other critiques offered that require a one word answer so I do not see your point?

BTW, after I posted I checked with the Mods to see if it was properly placed? They said yes.

Well done! A nice varied port. Pouty look that I love. You have a career in pinup modeling. Bio long, but works.

Willow, stunning portfolio. Well done. Demonstrates what a model can do if she is dedicated and plans her career.

*Since I make the rules I'm going to go over my 20-word promise and add this: I would suggest you scrap the "...free time" and "...work TF with..." etc., in your TFP comments.

Simplify to "Select TFP only" and leave it at that Everything else makes you appear rude.

"I am in school now and have very little time to shoot..."

As a photographer I stopped here.

*Comment, not critique -- which is the excuse to go over 20-words. Who wants to work with a model who doesn't have time to shoot? Your bio begins with a negative and most photographers would just move on.

Remove it and I'll continue.
