First, I hate this monthly subscription and automated renewal thing. Conveience is a big thing in modern times…

Second, I find not enough ‘peril’ for my test. I have occasionally pruchased stuff from Giga Japan. But, I do not like their hard core sex and rape and all those ‘gross’ stuff (people should go to xxx sites for that), but their peril, torture, acting and models are superb.

If this site can get some more peril and risgue, it will certainly gain a wider audience. They depict torture/violence to male actors in Hollywood mainstream (how about the ball breaking torture in 007 Royal Casino?), but I don’t see why it is taboo to women ?? I am just trying to enjoy that part.

I just personally find boots to “male-esque” for my taste. Also, I guess I count Japanese anime as a major influence on my creation process(check out Sailormars, from Sailormoon, for example…i.e. the magical girl designs).

I understand the tradition of heroines wearing boots, but I have to groan when EVERY. SINGLE. HEROINE. has to wear boots. Women have a lot more footwear choices than guys…how about some platform sneakers or sandals? I think that’s why I always liked the costumes of Zatanna and Blue Bulleteer over Supergirl at times.

But again, that’s just me:).

Hehehe…. Boots are a turn off? The original Superman, Supergirl, and Batman all have boots! I think they’re sexy on a Supergirl, especially if she has shiny tights (pantyhose to US people) underneath them.

I often wear my custom Superman outfit to conventions and parties with a pair of boots, because with shoes the outfit looks weird, and I can’t wear high heels, I’m a guy, and not into that sort of stuff.

A Supergirl looks great whether in knee high or ankle boots, high heel shoes, or just the bootcovers that come with some official factory outfits, but I think bootcovers are tacky. Boots are sexy and dominant. So are high heeled shoes, if the lady has lovely slender legs, yeehaw! If you’ve got em, flaunt em! I am a leg and tum man!

I find it ironic that on one of the responses, someone said high heel shoes on a superheroine was a turn-off. Ironic because boots on a superheroine to me is a turn-off!

One thing you can do to USH is stop having so many women with fake breasts. Some of the girls are so laden with fake tan, makeup as well as fake boobs they look unnatural, and it’s a shame women need to ruin themselves so much. Ease off on the eyeliner on some of the chicks, it looks freaky. If they were a SuperGoth, fine, but otherwise, no.

As an addition to what Fred said above, why not allow volunteers to help with your site? I’m a competent sysadmin, and administrate about 12 sites on a daily basis in a datacentre, and still manage to stick to deadlines. I’m reliable, upfront and honest, so I’d be up for the task. You help me, I help you, and I’d do it free, or in return for borrowing one of your outfits for my wife! I so want one making for her, the Supergirl one is the hottest I have ever seen!

This site already has a patchy record with punctuality and as I type it is Wednesday lunchtime with no update for this week.

If work and Real Life have too much going and are stopping from meeting your deadlines then don’t take more on.

It’s better to promise less and deliver, than to promise more and not deliver. As you’ve mentioned before in your blogs Jon, stakeholder management. Whatever expectations are set – then you need to meet them.

You have the best intentions and your enthusiasm cannot be doubted. But please take a step back work out what you can and cannot do. Then do what you say you are going to do. If it is Monday then deliver on Monday. If it is Tuesday then deliver on Tuesday.

Otherwise everyone including yourself ultimately gets frustrated. You’re trying your hardest but are getting gripes from subscribers. Likewise subscribers are feeling disappointed with broken promises.
