Once a model has been added to the system--appearing as a record in the Item table--and supposing that Roger has set the Is Validated field for the model so that she
is considered good for public viewing, she will now be visible in any category to which
she has been added (assignment to multiple categories is supported by Red Queen).
Presently we find that Ms Lovely as been added to the Amateur > College
category. The URL to the public entry point for Roger's review pages will be something
like:
Description: Ms Lovely has been with the Delightful Girls Agency since 2003 and has
completed more than 50 photo shoots with our finest photographers. She is a
student of medicine at the prestigious School of Boston Medicine and plans to
complete her medical training in record time. She has two cats, a bird, and
no time for a boyfriend. So look all you want guys, but this girl is on bed
pan duty for the forseeable future...
Likes: Walking on the beach at night. Candlelight dinners, opera, and high fashion. But most of all, smart men.
Dislikes: Waiting in line for anything. Impatient people (oops, that's me!).
Kidney beans. Kidneys, funnily enough, I can handle.
If Roger has correctly configured Red Queen for thumbnailing (see the Red Queen manual page
on Thumbnails)
the image which appears
on the model's detail page is a thumbnail of the image he uploaded when creating the page
for Ms Lovely, the original version of which can be seen by clicking on the
thumbnail itself.
With Reviews
The area of whitespace on the right of the page below the review submission link is where
a graphical summary of ratings will appear once reviews are submitted and approved for
the model. In addition to providing the average value for each rating
attribute associated with the Amateur > College category and the model named
Ms Lovely, a set of ratings averaged over ALL models in the category is also
presented so that visitors to Roger's site can see how well Ms Lovely fares in
comparison to other models in her class (category). Here is what the page might look like
after one review has been approved for Ms Lovely and several other reviews have
been submitted for other models in her category:

I must have seen every photo shoot that DGA produced in the last 2 years,
but without a doubt those of Ms Lovely are among the cream of the crop.
If I could only spend time with one model on a desert island, this would
be the girl for me. And presumably she can fix a sprain too. Very handy,
I'm sure.
In addition to the "star" rating style (though in the example above our stars are
represented as crosses) Roger has several other choices for representing the ratings.
In fact there are 4 styles that come "out of the box" and each of these can be modified
if desired by providing replacement images for the component .gif files used to construct
each rating style (replacements can be carried out from the Configure control
panel):
