An experiment in gender ambiguity

The past three days or so, I have been playing with an alt, for the purpose of conducting a little experiment. I wanted to see if it would be possible to make an avatar that looks like me in RL. And I'm rather amazed to say, I actually can.
Meet Salo Tiratzo.
Salo is made off a female shape which I've created myself to match my RL body as close as possible (although I've stuck to an average-for-SL height rather than my actual RL height, becaue I'm average in RL). The skin shown here is a freebie female skin without makeup on offer from Blowpop, although I've also been switching into a number of other skins, mainly male ones based off the Eloh Eliot templates, which look pretty good on this avatar. The trouble with a female skin is how bad it looks naked with the breast sliders set to 10 and the big painted-on shadow that belongs to a D-cup.
