Her employers call her the perfect fashion model,and the perfect employee Webbie Tookay is never late,never too tired to work and has no personal life to interfere with her job.Not surprisingly,Webbie Tookay is not real.
Elite Models,the worldwide agency that launched the career of“super models”Cindy Crawford,Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell,now has Webbie Tookay,a computer-generated animated fashion model that can show up anywhere,any time.
As the centerpriece of a new division of Elite called“Illusion 2K— Virtual Models and Actress Management”,she is available to pose for advertisements of fashion shows on the World Wide Web,in print or in films.
She is available all the time so we never have a problem scheduling her.Also,she doesn't age and she doesn't gain weight.Could all of this perfection crumble when the so-called Y2K millennium bug strikes Webbie Tookay when the year 2000 turns?Her designers say no because she is also Y2K compliant.She is a combination of a voluptuous Euro- pean blonde,a Latin,and an Asian woman.Webbie Tookay not only looks good but also has her own opinions about things.For example,she would never wear fur.We are very proud of her personality and her character.She is for birth control and besides,she looks pretty.
The Illusion 2K company was formed in July and its“Webbie Planet”web site www.illusion2K.com intergrates video,text and photos carrying general information,modeling services and entertainment.
