the problem with "virtual models"

One would think with all the commentary on and trends toward designers and magazines making more of an effort to feature models with "real" proportions, that when these same designers' retail companies set up virtual models on their websites (and through third party providers) that they would allow folks to model their virtual identity after their real size(s).

Wouldn't it be simple to just upload a picture of your face and then input your actual measurements and have the program actually spit out something quasi-realistic? Easy, right?

Yeah, so not only has it been a lifelong frustration for me to find pants with a 36" (or longer, if I want to wear heels) inseam but now the virtual model insults me by informing me via a popup that it can't possibly generate my model because my height and weight do not conform to their BMI scale.
Let me tell ya, I have never and probably will never as long as I live appear on the BMI scale because I'm a freak of nature. I know many many women (especially those over 5'9") who are also not on a BMI scale and who are healthy, fit and happy shoppers.
But just because we're two pounds or inches shy of appearing on a BMI scale doesn't mean that we freaks don't like to shop in your stores, too.

The most insulting instance was when someone graciously emailed me a l ink to an online shop for tall women. Their main page proudly proclaimed they could stylishly clothe anyone over 5'9", but didn't offer anything in my size (or ANY single-digit size, for that matter).
