Robot Fashion Model

I was just browsing youtube today when I came across this.

"The HRP-4C robot. The girlie-faced humanoid with slightly oversized eyes, a tiny nose and a shoulder length hair-do boasts 42 motion motors programmed to mimic the movements of flesh-and-blood fashion models. At just over 5 feet tall and 95 pounds in weight, she's still thin enough to guilt teenage girls everywhere into puking up their lunches. And the manga-inspired face, with a tiny nose and large eyes, should keep the plastic surgery market afloat in even the most dire economic climate. Unlike modern models, however, the HRP-4C walks down the runway with constantly bent knees and it fully capable of smiling. In case you are looking for an HRP-4C of your own, a similar model will cost you $3 million dollars."



Could this be the new fashion model in centuries to come? Maybe this would tackle the size 0 issue, we have less models and more robots. This would be a great way to show that size 0 is virtually impossible to achieve, and young girls won't see real thin people and want to be like them, because this time it's a robot.
