it was -- for all intents and purposes -- stupifyingly simple. there's one 
strobe behind a 3x2 foot softbox. That's on a stand about two or three feet 
above the model and aimed nearly straight down -- as straight down as my 
stand and the softbox would allow -- maybe an 80' angle then that's right up 
against the right hand side of the camera (camera nearly touching the stand) 
the model about four feet away, 50mm lens at 2.8, low power on the strobe. 
that's it.
 
then you just say "put your skirt in your mouth".
 
that's the hard part.
