[[livejournal.com profile] jasra posting for one confused [livejournal.com profile] wispfox]

I am entirely failing to understand why the picture of me looking at my shoes (my scary, scary shoes!) got such good responses. Yes, slinky dress. But there are two others I have worn recently, one of which there are pictures of, and it seems like this picture is still somehow especially notable. _And I don't understand why_!

[livejournal.com profile] jasra attempted to explain this to me; something about slinky dress combining with looking down being demure or something[*]. But... (long pause) I... (another long pause) don't understand. I am so confused.

I suspect strongly that this relates to my general confusion relating both to pictures in general and to non-verbal communication. Also, possibly to the fact that it's only been in the last 5-6 years that I've had _any_ idea what kinds of clothing looks good on me (and what kinds of clothing I like).

Did I mention confused? I fail my comprehension roll. In fact, I might even have rolled a 1.

[*] Note from [livejournal.com profile] jasra: What I actually said was that the strong contrast between the sexy dress and her looking down, in a demure looking pose was what made this picture.

The butt-wiggle shows off the dress nicely, but not you - you're somewhere in there, but who can tell?

As for the formal, heck with demure. That photo has cleavage. And boobies = universal acclaim. (The Vamping photo in the same series is even better, I think. Did people ignore that one, or did they not see it?). Also, because of the glasses and the shadows, in that one it looks like you _might_ be looking up from under the glasses, in which case it's seriously sultry, and not even close to demure.

I do not know if they did not see, or ignored, the vamping one (I note that my reaction to it was to ask what vamping _was_. :).

On the plus side, the 'not seemingly aware of the camera' aspect others have mentioned made sense to me!

Yeah, what she said. Especially the vamping one.

Why does it only surprise me slightly that you two know each other? Tiny, tiny world.

I'm actually not sure if we know each other, but we did find each other
