There is frequently an arrogance, bored look, almost of disdain for the viewer of the image, and what sometimes appear to be for life itself.

They are usually heavily styled, heavily retouched and mostly reserved to those with, slender faces, large eyes, full mouths, and angular features – traditional “pretty” is not a requirement.
