Previously I found myself admiring your work sifu. Now, however, after reading many of your comments and in particular this thread, I also admire your prose. Keep on keeping on!
Also, as for this particular photograph, I found it in a rather lengthy and otherwise disappointing search of these interwebs for harem-style outfits befitting a character I was writing for a novel that I'm working on. The essence of this outfit was precisely the inspiration I was looking for, and your lovely model Jess was so close to how I envision my character that it was truly startling.
I was looking for an outfit that was both elegant (as well as sexy I suppose), and simple in design. That you constructed such an outfit yourself simply deepens my respect for your work. Bravo!
