It's fascinating how, as soon as one thinks of someone turning vampire, one
"ups" the sex quotient! Of course, Janette *is* always a sexualized figure,
both in the past and the present: her clothes, her jewels, her hair, her
cosmetics. However, a significant part of Natalie's time on the show is
spent at work; and, even when she's got downtime, she's seen in casual wear
as likely as not.
Or, in other words: yes, I did pick out a rather sultry picture of Natalie
for the Dark NatPack icon! (Great minds think alike, obviously.)
In fact, just as you suggest, I headed for "Be My Valentine" and used a shot
of Natalie all dressed up for her dinner date--not that she knew at the time
she togged herself up that she was doing so for LaCroix, of course. But,
yes: I too thought of the low neckline. I tweaked the shot by fiddling a
bit with the colour of her eyes. At icon-size the effect is almost
subliminal and yet...there is something *different*.
However, the screen capture (with the background removed), the name of the
faction, and the modified caduceus do *not* fill the icon. Layout is a
tricky thing; and there's still a bit of space left. My question, then,
relates to the use of that remaining space.
I'm looking for something vampire *and* Nat (but not Nick/Nat, since that is
the purview of the Dark Nick and NatPack). In other words, something that
will symbolize Natalie's transformation as it relates to *her*.
