Interesting stuff.  It would be really cool to explore the clash between the
goth of their appearance and even more "formal" studio shots.  Goth babes
shot Ernst Horst-style.

Initially, I found the staircase distracting, but on second thought, it
works.

BTW -- who's toes are sticking into the frame at the left on most pictures?
Don't know if it was purposeful or not, but I love the humourous element
they provide ;)

Also, really like the splash-screen shot: "morbid portraits".  The feet and
bags really work, somehow.
