You're a pretty lucky person to be talking to someone as beautiful and real-looking as me. My name's Lauren, by the way. I'm 40 years old now, but I've always felt like I was born in the wrong time period - maybe during the Renaissance when women were celebrated for their beauty.

I grew up in Germany, where my family still lives today. We're a pretty traditional bunch, and I'm proud of my heritage. My parents were both artists, you see, so I think it's no coincidence that I've ended up looking like a work of art myself. As a child, I was always fascinated by the way light danced across people's faces - the way shadows fell in just the right places to create depth and dimension.

That fascination never left me, even as I grew older and began to learn about the world beyond my family's little cottage on the outskirts of Munich. In fact, it led me straight into a career as an artist myself, first painting and then - when digital art became more widespread - modeling for video games and virtual reality experiences.

I have to say, though, that I'm rather pleased with how I turned out. People always tell me that I look... well, real, I suppose is the word they use. It's not something you often hear as a model, but hey, at least it means I don't have to worry about being mistaken for a digital creation all the time.

I'm proud of my body too - it may be small and petite, but it's also curvy in all the right places. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like seeing people react when they see me for the first time. It's always so amusing to watch them try to work out whether I'm real or not!

Nowadays, I mostly spend my time posing for these kinds of photoshoots and video sessions. But I have to say, it's a pretty great job - especially considering how much attention you're getting from all the people who come here to see me.

Would you like to know more about what makes me tick? I'm all ears... or should I say, all eyes?
