The matter was quickly resolved.
Lily was also in New York because her father's friend was there.
The next morning, Catherine, Jenny, and Ida arrived early at her father's friend's photo studio, where Lily and Lisa were already waiting for them. Lisa was carrying several bags and had dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she had made many dresses during the night. They didn't want their clothing design store to only offer miniskirts; they wanted something more.
Lisa had not forgotten to apply for the miniskirt design patent to ensure product safety.
"Uncle Homan, it's Lily. We're here."
The photo studio was somewhat secluded, but the interior looked nice.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Homan. This is my photo studio. I'm very interested in your plans. Although I don't know much about clothing design, I'm very interested in the miniskirt Lily brought; I think it's very pretty for girls."
The man named Homan appeared to be in his thirties, with a thick beard, and seemed quite "mature," apparently a trustworthy person.
In short, Homan seemed to be very popular with girls; at least Catherine didn't dislike him.
"I've already prepared the location for you, but I honestly think the effect would be better if we filmed on the street,"
Homan suggested.
"Why?" Lily asked curiously.
"First, filming on the street would be more relatable and highlight the current trend; second, it would be excellent publicity, don't you think?"
"That seems true." They seemed to realize this suddenly.
"However, I think we should take some photos first and see how they turn out."
It's not like you guys are the models!
Catherine quickly prevented the group from rushing into disaster.
"That's right, let's see how it goes."
If the streets were full of women in miniskirts, Catherine would have no objection, but the problem was that they weren't. Miniskirts hadn't appeared yet, although their popularity had only lasted a few months and had remained for almost fifty years, and they were still in vogue. But standing out from the crowd, no matter what, felt a little uncomfortable.
Well, Ida will come with me, but what for?
Speaking of Ida, this seemingly mature girl always seemed willing to try new things.
A girl like that will probably one day become a pioneer of the sexual liberation movement, right?
Suddenly, a strange thought crossed Catherine's mind, but she quickly shook her head, dismissing it.
Hippies are, after all, a subculture; mainstream culture is the trend in society.
As a country with more Christians than Europe, American society is undeniably conservative. The seemingly wild Hollywood society is simply because Hollywood is a gathering place for the right-wing elites of the United States; the democratic concepts they promote are sometimes just something that Americans themselves see as a spectacle.
Of course, due to cultural differences, even though Americans consider themselves conservative, Easterners still see them as very wild. For example, their understanding of sex.
"Well, you two go get changed first."
Homan began adjusting the camera and lighting.
"Here, Ida, Kate, these are some new dresses I made, try them on!"
Lisa opened the bag and took out the clothes.
The dress didn't look particularly exquisite, but it was enough to show Lisa's care and confidence in making it herself.
Although she still had dark circles under her eyes, she looked excited, and you could see the anticipation in her eyes.
"This dress is so beautiful!"
Ida picked up a dress, a pure white dress, simple but form-fitting.
"But this doesn't fit me well, Kate, you try it on."
In fact, Ida was the sexier type, and although the dress was based on the mini skirt concept, it looked a little out of place on her.
But Catherine was different. Although she was also the slimmer, sexier type, she wasn't exactly innocent either, so this type of dress suited her perfectly.
"Okay."
Catherine took the dress.
Relatively speaking, Catherine's upper body was shorter and her waist was higher, approximately 7:4, which was considered to be in line with the golden ratio.
So even though the skirt was short and seemed to reveal part of her thigh, it was actually quite long, and Catherine felt quite comfortable in it.
Ida's outfit was quite revealing: a black tank top over a tube top and a very short skirt with slits on both sides. Honestly, this outfit was only suitable for photo shoots; wearing it in public would undoubtedly result in a fashion faux pas.
But who knows?
After all, in the 1960s, and ever since, the United States has always had quite a few uninhibited people.
Ida's hair was loose, giving her a rather wild look.
"Kate, put her hair up a little," Lily said, approaching Catherine.
"Maybe we should do a princess hairstyle?" suggested Jenny.
"But that's too much work," said Catherine with a wry smile. To be honest, she still wasn't very good at doing her hair; the simplest thing she could do was a ponytail, and even that was a mess. In fact, it was always her mother, Emma, who did her hair.
"Maybe we should put some pads in,"
Lisa said thoughtfully, looking at Catherine's flat chest.
Catherine rolled her eyes; she didn't know what to say.
"I'll do her hair, you guys go find some pads."
Jenny took out two rubber bands and a comb she always carried with her and started combing Catherine's hair.
Her technique was pretty good; she finished in just a few minutes.
However, they couldn't find the pads, so they had to stuff two pairs of stockings inside, turning Catherine's flat chest into a perfect 10.
"Girls, you're so fast,"
Homan commented, looking at the group coming out of the dressing room.
"This was for real.
In fact, if they hadn't been so eager to take pictures, Homan would probably have waited twice as long.
But since it was already done, Homan grabbed his camera and started shooting.
"Great combination, one wild, one discreet,"
Homan nodded, then raised his camera.
After taking several photos in different poses, Catherine started changing clothes again.
But this time, the clothes made her feel a little lost.
Ida was wearing shorts. Shorts came about at about the same time as miniskirts, and in a way, they were even more daring. These pants consisted of a single piece of fabric that went from the pubic bone to the top of the thigh. Catherine barely remembered mentioning them when talking about miniskirts, but she didn't expect Lisa to remember.
Catherine's dress, on the other hand, was a little more conservative, but only a little.
She was still wearing a dress, but with a shorter hemline. Perhaps inspired by cheongsams or other garments, or perhaps a sudden inspiration from Lisa, the dress was form-fitting with high slits on both sides. She also wore stockings with garters, whose attractive threads extended from the slits, sparking the imagination.
And to accommodate the slit, Catherine had to choose a thong; Lisa had even prepared one for her.
Although Ida's outfit seemed more revealing, Catherine's clothes were much more attractive.
Fortunately, only these two outfits seemed excessive; the rest were garments that Lisa had modified according to fashion trends.
Lisa seemed to have a strong preference for tight-fitting designs; even clothes that looked loose on the outside clung to the body, which might explain why all of Lisa's creations were so sexy.
