If you feel as if you have spent the last month chained to your desk, a makeover may be what you need. But why go to all the hassle of leaving your home, when it can now be done without anyone touching a hair on your head? This supposedly rhetorical question is the premise of this slick new CD-ROM, which promises you a complete new image--the only catch being that it's a virtual one.
The idea is, you scan a picture of yourself into your PC and then the fun begins. There are over 350 hairstyles to choose from, and unlimited hair colours, plus a complete make-up set and the added possibility of a change of eye colour. Style yourself with hats, earrings and necklaces. Then, just to show that there is more to this "new you" than meets the eye, you can blend your image onto the cover of a magazine, print it up and e-mail or show it to all your friends. This CD-ROM is fast and funky, with great graphics and decent quality visuals. Of course, if you are going to spend all this time sorting yourself out with a virtual makeover and choosing a new look, there's no reason to not give yourself the real thing too. --Toby Green
