I had a lot of fun this past month working on the Contest Page for my series The Black Stockings Society. However I had no idea that coming up with an image of the prize(s) would be such an ordeal.

First I created a table-top display of the prizes, and discovered that the flat table image did not work, so I had to use another background. My next shot included my two prizes, propped up against a cushion covered with a pair of satin boxer shorts. Unfortunately, when I showed the image to a friend of mine, she pointed out the fact that people may think that they will win the boxer shorts along with the other two items! Even though I did not list it as part of the prize.

So, back to the drawing board. I had to take several other shots. In one I took the stockings out of the package and laid them out but they didn’t look right. Then another friend suggested I wear the stockings, and then she suggested that she model them, but I decided to say no to both ideas. In the end I decided to keep the stockings in the package and open the lipstick holder to display the interior.

If you are interested in seeing the final shot, or want a chance to win a pair of one-size-fits-all thigh-high fishnet stockings and a multi-lipstick holder case, check out this link.
