Did none of these women have any decolletage? Or was it a huge no-no to paint? I mean, they all look like they have no boobs! Like the body area between their neck and the neckline of the gown is overly flat and uncomplimentary. Maybe it's me, but I really think that's one of the things that has so bothered me about all of these.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-41404981904641100092011-04-17T15:02:05.072-04:002011-04-17T15:02:05.072-04:00YAY!YAY!Carameahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047951341922487604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-58668149210128805402011-04-17T13:52:50.066-04:002011-04-17T13:52:50.066-04:00Yay, ofcourse!
