A disembodied set of naked legs cut off at the pelvis can be either a wonderfully sheer pair of stockings or somebody's erotic dream walking, and a model chosen for the most beautiful navel on Photographers' Row provides a giant closeup of her specialty to demonstrate the proper distance between a sweater and a pair of slacks...
