Well, I started with a long reply, but I decided to cut it down to this simple answer:
I didn't like the effect on the pictures shown simply because I felt that something was wrong.

I think it works in some situations, but not all. Some of those examples are nice but others look a bit strange to me.
Maybe that's just because I haven't seen this before.

I think the idea to use T-S lens to keep both eyes in focus is a good one. The full frontal portraits with blurred legs though look cheesy and unnatural, I would try to avoid that.

I have two thoughts -- the modern T/S usage gives a vague, strange sensation, often, the way the equipment is typically used. Like anything else, too much of it is too much; a little goes a long way. Well done, using such can make a photograph.
Second, in the olden days tilt and shift were common in view cameras. There the DOF was a bit deeper and in harmony with the size of the film. I think the masters would use these tools in subtle (or less subtle) ways to put the focus exactly where they wanted it.

Overused trick, if you look at album covers from the 90s it's already there, and it soon became old fashioned even then.
(besides, it takes less than one minute to replicate that in Photoshop, no need for expensive tiltshift equipment).

Interesting how we can have two divergent opinions. To me, my mind sort of
'jumped' when the image came up and showed the narrow band of focus across
her eyes. But looking at the nose and lips - they just don't look right to me.
Of course, that is just my opinion, and I can certainly relate to your feeling about
it. (and my opinions are never wrong... )

 Of course this discussion got me over to Rainbowimaging and I walked out with a Canon/Nex tilt adapter, plus M42 and PK to Canon adapters (the Canon tilt adapter is a 'universal' base, Canon lenses will vignette but anything you can adapt to Canon goes on the tilt)... and a P645 to PK adapter for good measure.  I suppose now I'll have to put them to use.
