Cecily's boots and bloomers

We are making an erotic, illustrated version of Oscar Wilde's famous play, The Importance of Being Earnest. Our goal is to produce a photo-illustrated graphic novel utilizing the full text of the play. This project is a continuation of our on-going interests in good porn, photography, period costume, romance, feminism, bisexuality, polyamory, erotic literature, and Oscar Wilde.

Cecily: Oh! not at all, Gwendolen. I am very fond of being looked at.
[Jack, about to eat a muffin] Algernon: But you have just said it was perfectly heartless to eat muffins. Jack: I said it was perfectly heartless of you, under the circumstances. That is a very different thing.
[Jack and Algernon about to kiss] Jack: For heaven's sake, don't try to be cynical. It's perfectly easy to be cynical. Algernon: My dear fellow, it isn't easy to be anything nowadays. There's such a lot of beastly competition about.
