Val, there are only a small handful of people in this forum, (from what I can tell thus far, anyway) who are really adept at Portraiture.

I am in awe of them... and of your portraits in particular.

Please do keep them coming, but if you decide that it's time to branch out and try something new or different for yourself; I hope you share that, too!

I know what kinds of shots I am most comfy and have the most success with, but I'm always looking to try something new to keep things fresh, yanno?

This portrait you've shared is another good one... but I agree that the shoulder blade looks to be in a very awkward position.

I was talking to my friend the other day, who wants me to try my hand at glamour shots for her to give her fiancee'. We were discussing the location(s) and poses she had in mind... and I explained to her that some of the things I'm going to ask her to do, may feel unusually "odd" but will translate better in the photograph.

Since this is definitely your area of expertise: are there some poses you could suggest trying that might present as lovely glamour shots but not necessarily make her look too much slimmer?? She and her fiancee' celebrate the "curvy woman" and I know that many of the positions shown in glamour shots tend to focus on making her look a few pounds slimmer.

You have my thanks in advance and my admiration for your work... always. :)

Thanks Tilde. Are you asking how to pose a larger person in a more flattering way but not to make them look too slim?

Yes... in a flattering, feminine way... without a particularly slimming effect.
I have a few ideas I'm going to try... but I'm curious as to what you, specifically, might suggest.
