Granted, that one intended to be a nice European balance of sexuality and art rather than modesty, yours really does not fall along that imagery.<BR/><BR/>I also may have turned down my monitor too low, so I could just be a dork.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927087014533594667.post-89695909171213825272008-01-25T15:07:00.000-05:002008-01-25T15:07:00.000-05:00Thanks Terry :) Your comment about the pose is ve...Thanks Terry :) Your comment about the pose is very reassuring, and yes I was trying to go for a less "inviting" look with the pose... I'm very glad I succeeded! ^.^<BR/><BR/>I can see definitely where it can seem too dark, too much like a black hole on the page, but I was actually hoping that would help make it stand out that much more on a magazine page. I was thinking the darkness would just suck you in and lead you right to her face, then of course the "Illusions" tag. I also realize my monitor might be brighter than others... Hmm, maybe I can turn up some contrast on the wings to make them brighterNefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03301719845602456900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927087014533594667.post-37232420233503722032008-01-25T15:00:00.000-05:002008-01-25T15:00:00.000-05:00Eeeee thanks guys ♥ You've helped make up my mind...Eeeee thanks guys ♥ You've helped make up my mind to definitely use it!!<BR/><BR/>Miriel, I think I'll IM you to ask about what you'd change since I simply love your taste<BR/><BR/>Pandora, you made me laugh out loud and imagine Magneto in a corset a la Frankenfurter!

It really only features the upper body, and the "naughty" area is covered very well. You are not in a laid-out/stretched position, which also lends to this not being sexual. If you are still worried, I guess you could look into a latex skin or some sort of animal prints so you are not so 'naked', but that may cause too much distraction from the items.<BR/><BR/>It also seems too dark. I can see where it looks nice with the blending into the background, but it makes the light skin tone stand out a bit too much. I'm not sure if flipping the color scheme would be effective, as while something bright on a soft- or dark-tan skin would look equally beautiful, it might not have that same daring-mysterious feel I find here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927087014533594667.post-31810908904063478802008-01-25T09:50:00.000-05:002008-01-25T09:50:00.000-05:00The picture looks great!

I'll also note that Tete a Pied had (at least for a while) a nude ad up in their store. And yeah, they sell skins, but still. TaP's nothing if not classy; if they can do it, you can.<BR/><BR/>It's a beautiful, striking ad. There are a couple things I'd change if it were mine, but the nudity isn't one of them. :)Miriel Enfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705581002557224035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3927087014533594667.post-19609848592151233042008-01-25T06:15:00.000-05:002008-01-25T06:15:00.000-05:00OMG.
