Unvarnished Admiration

Tinged with just a hint of jealousy, roil within my psyche.

I may be late to the table. But I have just been priviledged to witness Jomaro's WIP of the indefatigable Soul Train.

So evocative. So 70's. So positively Afro-centric. So stylishly sexy. And soo much exactly what I want for one of my favorite characters, Hot Koko. But that is for another day.

In the meantime, I just wanted to take a little time and extend my heartiest congratulations to Ms. Soul Train for creating such a seminal and sexy character. As well as to the inimitable Mr. JK himself for continuing to keep the standards high.

And oh my goodess... it's not even finished yet!


I'm only laughing on the outside
My smile is just skin deep
If you could see inside, I'm really crying
You might join me for a weep

Is it me? Or are all your current depicters doing the upskirt thing? Did I miss something in the Soul Train Reference memo?

Current?? he's been working on that for a long time, and this is the first I've seen of it.

But .... it IS a miniskirt...

Hmm. I would be proud to draw this. I must put that in my "when I get to it" file.

You have excellent taste, darling.

The 'upskirt thing' as it appears in JK's depiction of Soul Train, while provocative, is in my humble opinion by no means salacious. In fact when combined with the strength of character implicit in every line of her neck, cheekbones and jawline, the sort of provocation provided by that properly packaged peek-a-boo pudenda, becomes the sort touted by MC Hammer when he said 'Can't touch this!'

Oh I have noooooo problems with it, I just noticed it on this, and the piece done by MMO art, an was thinking, dayum, wish I had remembered to include this on my ST pieces. I'm just gonna have to do a new one now... for principles!

It's OK, LJ, you already did one where she was wearing nothing but her cape, and that one too was extremely wonderfully saucy, and extremely beautiful.

I didn't care for the "camel toe" depiction. It crossed that line into "stupidly juvenile trying to be sexy" for me. Jomaro's, on the other hand, is exactly how it should be done. Sexy without being crude.
