Earth Hour 2009

Do you remember as a child wondering what would happen if everyone in the world jumped up and down at exactly the same moment – if it was true that the world would shift on its axis? Did you also feel amazed that it could take something so small (one jump each) to make such an incredibly huge thing happen?

That’s what I thought of when I heard about Earth Hour – a seemingly small action by many individuals that could actually make a difference to the world.

Types of models include fashion, glamour, fitness, bikini, fine art, and body-part models.

Not all models are considered "beautiful": character models portray ordinary people and humorous types, mostly in print work and in commercials. Photo manipulation and cosmetic surgery also enable people with body imperfections to model and change their looks to suit a certain role. Many high fashion models have "quirky" attributes and memorably unusual faces. High end brands often use these unusual faces as people are likely to remember their brand name and associate it with an interesting face.

Various representations of beauty and fashion using models have caused controversy and is known to have some social impact, particularly on young people - both male and female.
