Do these virtual pants make me look fat?

This might be old news to some, but I just discovered the "My Virtual Model" feature of the Lands' End site. (You can find the link in the left-hand column). You customize a "model" to match your body shape, measurements, height, weight, hair color/style, etc. You can approximate yourself quite closely. Then your virtual counterpart can try on clothes from the site so you can see how they will really look on you.

It's pretty slick but maybe a bit too much reality for me. I think I'd much rather look at clothes on an idealized, imaginary version of myself. Can I take my virtual model into a virtual workout room?
