o/o - looks good. dark parts of tie do not seem to me to detract from it clearly being lighter than the suit.

clags - very pretty, but for gosh sakes, please put on your shoes. i know people in your foreign land dont wear shoes inside, but i bet most of them also dont takes pictures of themselves for the internet. im sure no one will kill you if you put on your shoes and stand in place for a picture and then take them off.

EFV - looks lovely. tie there also is not super light, i wonder what that would look like in gray scale. who cares tho, its a pretty fit and i love a navy with silver/gray/white windowpane. would really like a full fit, i think FCs demand the full monty.

DSLR? Yes.

Tripod? Yes.

Remote? Absolutely.

Putting down some newspaper to stand on?

A bridge too ******* far.

Though mostly, I don't want to pull up a stool next to the mat, put on my shoes, take the picture (and hope that for whatever reason I don't need to adjust any settings, which would then involve me taking off my shoes, going over to the camera, returning, and putting on my shoes), then take off my shoes, move the stool back to its position by the door, put on my shoes again, and leave. Besides, the shoe holding thing makes it easier to casually pose. Dunno. Maybe I'll just stop with that all together and you'll all need to go back to imagining me in high heels.

1. you sound like i used to about not wearing PS. give it time. although i think we can all agree that not wearing a PS is much more ******* normal than not wearing shoes.

2. as long as you are going to be a vagine about it, id prefer you holding the shoes (i only realize how amazingly absurd the idea of holding your shoes in your hand as you take a picture of yourself is as i type this im actually lol'ing) than not seeing them at all. perhaps you can get creative with it? maybe hold them point facing out between your thighs or something? go crazy with it!
