See? All it takes to turn smut into art is to make it black and white. 😆 It’s like that, at least where photography is concerned. You just have to desaturate your porn and it becomes artistic. Play with the focus, sharpness, and contrast, and it could even end up in a gallery. 😉
Yeah, it’s true. She’s a bit narcissistic, but that’s both OK and understandable. She’s more than quite cute and quite beautiful as well. A bit – or more than a bit – of self-love seems appropriate to me. 😉

Well, so long as we keep scientists under a necessary level of control… because I want exactly no part of a Jurassic Park–West Word crossover. 😆
