[QUOTE="Sedona, post: 9762476, member: 4438"]Great photo, AJ! As to the original photo, the black line seems to continue between her lips, so I wonder if it’s a wound after all, and perhaps a voilette. If it were such a heinous wound, it looks like it’s still stitched and fresh, and not healed into a scar yet. Setting aside the ongoing pain from such a devastating wound, that would have been caused very violently and traumatically, from a purely vanity perspective, I doubt she’d go out in public all dressed up like that looking like that, and pose for a formal photograph.
