Here is my quote from the Increased Beauty thread, and I stand by it:

AP style, some BE, some growth, pretty well acted, though easy to tell the implied ass growth is only implied since you get plenty of ass shots beforehand.
The big deal is that during her nap she wakes up and her face looks made up and her hair looks styled, generally overall facial looks sexier.
The price tag is good, only $10 for a 17 minute clip. Not a lot of growth, but that is good since this thread generally focuses on balanced beauty.
If you are a fan on this thread I HIGHLY recommend it. One of the best buys I've gotten from Taylor so far, if not the best.
My qualms are only nitpicks, and they include that the ass growth would be a lot more believable if there weren't so many panty shots before the transformation. I also am not personally a fan of the implication that the character is a teenager (16 or so) but that is just me.
Also there could have been a BIT more focus on the transformation, things like implication of her stomach flattening (fat loss), her hips widening, or her legs getting longer. That is not so much a problem as something I would LIKE to see.
Like I said, those are nitpicks. Overall this video is one of my favorites and I don't regret paying a cent for it.

If you want to know the short of it, I like the idea of a dumpy, non-sexy woman transforming into a beautiful, sexy goddess while enjoying the transformation.
You did this with Holly and it worked, mostly, but you had the problem of the legs and butt being too obvious in the beginning and thus making most of the transformation seem hard to swallow.
If you want an idea for a script, try this idea:
A dumpy, chubby girl, bad hair, glasses, acne, ugly nose, etc. walks into her attic with tears in her eyes. She sobs a bit as she talks about one of her coworkers who makes fun of her and makes her feel bad just because she was blessed with good looks. She stops after a bit, saying she came up here to get some cleaning done and maybe it will distract her.
While looking she finds the storage chest of her old uncle (An explorer/archeologist) who had some things including a book.
Fascinated she takes the book downstairs, opens it, and suddenly a voice speaks out, saying she is an ancient spirit of the book, and she can sense her troubled spirit and asks what is wrong. When told that she hates her appearance, the book chuckles a bit and says with it's power she can easily fix that.
She asks what she would like changes and the chubby girl asks for enhanced beauty one part at a time, moaning and inspecting herself after each part, starting at her stomach and legs (removing fat and lengthening legs) moving up to enhancing her boobs and face and hair.
She enjoys each part of course, and thanks the spirit each time, keeping up until she feels she is pretty enough. When the spirit admires her beauty she asks what she will do.
The girl first thinks about shoving it in the other girl's face but then decides she doesnt want to be petty and instead decides she is going to enjoy her new body for herself, not to make others feel bad.
(I don't know why, but it always annoyed me that when ugly girls turn pretty they always seem to turn into the same vindictive catty bitches as the antagonist.)
Anyway the main point is that you can get most of the effects the same way, makeup, you can make acne and even have a fake nose of some sort of you want, and have it fall off while her face is in her hands (with some crackling noises to signal the changing). You can use a reverse inflation for the flattening of the stomach and 2 different lengths of pants to show the different leg lengths.
If the actor is up for it, you can even have the voice changing, and even better the attitude changing, like she is becoming sexier not just in physical looks but how she handles herself.
Holly did that pretty well I think, by the end she was acting somewhat less goofy and instead more sexy. It helped the transformation feel real.
Also, this one may be hard to do, but one transformation we rarely see and want to see is age transformation. Specifically, an old woman becoming young and sexy. Young girl to older is actually pretty common, and I realize such a thing would probably raise some flags to some, but the old woman to 20 something wouldn't.
I would pay for either of those.
