    Great photos. I find it funny that this site contains both a Tavi and a Talvi, neither of which are names I have ever heard before. Sweet!

    These are GORGEOUS. They almost look religious, like a painting of the Virgin Mary or something. But much more fashionable, of course.

    Gorgeous pics! I know that it has been addressed before, but I really am looking forward to having more colored models in the “eye candy” section, and just in general.
