MEK just gave me a copy of the Da Vinci-inspired photo. It took 250 shots and two photo shoots before she got the one she wanted, with the exact lighting, angle, etcetera. Unfortunately, the photo you're about to see is a scan from a printout, rather than a digital copy. I'm hoping I can get a digital version, because a fair amount of detail has been lost here.

What you can't tell from this photo is that I'm wearing a purple ribbon across my forehead, and cheap, hot pink, plastic beads around my neck. You also can't tell that the left side of my head is hiding a Gordion knot of hair, elastics, clips, and ribbon. The dress and bodice are nice, though.
