Trysummer or Tryvertising?

Virtual Models are becoming trendy, and in particular My Virtual Model (disclosure: MVM is the company where I work).  To support this view, let me draw your attention to the new buzz words poping up all over the place. 

Take TRYSUMMER and TRYVERTISING  for example.

Here is an excerpt about TRYSUMMERS:

As all things digital and virtual are so much easier to sample, TRYSUMERS and the online space are a match made in heaven. Expect a renewed interest in lifelike avatars, which can try out and try on anything on behalf of their real world alter-egos.

The operative word here for MVM is "lifelike" avatars.
