A pretty package may be nice to look at, but the real fun always comes with The Unwrapping.
In my previous Christmas themed works I have always featured a single subject, either alone for the holiday or waiting for Santa to arrive. So with a more romantic piece being long overdue, I decided to show a couple exchanging presents. Early on I knew I wanted to incorporate thermal underwear to give that wintry vibe. To keep it sexy and fun, I thought why not have them share one outfit? Besides, it leaves the door open for ponderings about tops and bottoms.
