I see that Giolon has raised an important question,

does this really have to be on the front page with no control over whether it comes up or not?

... and went on with a lucid discussion of the issue. 

I want to bring your attention to another issue that this image engenders ...

You see, whenever I see this sort of costume, or accessory, ... I always think ... 

     What holds it up?   OR   What keeps it in place? 

Before we get all excited about my question, I want to establish why this comes to mind ... my mind, that is. 

[1] I am a member of the SCA ... and members of the SCA are always interested in historical fashion ... garb ... especially good garb ... sometimes Renaissance Faire garb ... and that leads to discussions about bad garb ... bad Ren Faire garb ... and even Just Plain Bad garb.

[2] I also like Renaissance Faires ... often, at a Ren Faire, you will meet Elves or other shy, gentle, creatures with no historical documentation (that means that they can't be seen at SCA events).  The really good elves -- the Tolkiensque elves -- will have the characteristic pointed ears or long pointed ears as a permanent feature -- all day long, that is.  Well, the real elves are born that way ... so, there.  The other elves you might see at a Ren Faire must use Kryolan Extra Strength Medical Adhesive. 

Now that you know both [1] and [2], above you'll understand that when I see an image like the one Giolon brought to our attention, I try to imagine a barbarian princess using Medical Adhesive to ... "get dressed" each morning ... and I just can't get myself to make the concept stick in my mind. 

Well, there you are ... that's my 2 cents for the day ...

p.s. Similar reasoning applies to costumes (poser clothing) that conform to every curve (both positive and negative) of the model's body ... but with no apparent reason, no concession to gravity ,,, or fashion sense.
