Anything you do to make yourself look good has only incremental effect; you must already have a "good" foundation (genetics, race, etc.)

An African American woman, for example, has almost zero chance of making it to the top 10 p$rnstars list, no matter how much she put effort and time to prepare herself.

Some things are just the realities of the world. Thinking otherwise makes you delusional.

What are you responding to? (I feel like I'm asking this a lot here.) The comment to which you're apparently responding was only saying that it takes a lot of work to make a living off of your looks; they were silent on whether you need to have good genetics, the correct skin color, or anything else.
