Noticed that price tag! It's high on my list of retouch items. :)

This is a straight JPEG xversion from the out-of-camera RAW; not even
sharpened. It's not easily visible at this image size, but the model
also experienced a wardrobe malfunction of the J. Jackson type that
I'll retouch out.


Postmodern; sure, I'll go with that. The shots are largely a modern
reinterpretation of a painted style anyhow. There is a series of
interesting shots floating around that Gil Elvgren took of live models
from which he created his pinups. You can see where he 'shopped-in
background and props.
