Great pop out at you expression - I wouldn't say piercing, more as if Mandy and maybe you were making a little fun of this genre. And by golly I think I like all the things about it that give one of your commenters such pause. (Hmn. I wonder if things are really OK if they do nothing...)
First thing I notice is the noise/texture across the skin. It also moves into the wall behind her so I know it is not skin texture. The hair seems blurred as if in motion, and the lighting may have been facilitated in post hence the noise. For me this straight on view is not appealing and does not flatter the model. It is an ok portrait but does nothing for me.
