Something warm and beautiful to comfort us as the Eastern half of the lower 48 freezes?

I love the 'bursting out' effect going on.

My favourite of the four.  Quite apart from Haight's comment (with which I wholeheartedly agree), I like the background detail here, some of which confirms the accuracy of Dani's nightmares (the bird in its cage, the plants everywhere), and some of which is just plain intriguing:
1) Dani has the watch on her, prominently;
2) what's going on with the background silhouettes? (I mean, the guy holding up his glass, and the (apparently scantily-clad) woman's reaction.  Who is that woman?  (I'll go out on a limb and assume we've seen at least her name before, but I'll guess Claudia Echo on the basis of exactly nothing the apparently slender build.)
3) Interesting cuff links - probably nothing, but their prominence at the front of the image, combined with the fact that glowy red things are plot significant in the SJI-verse, makes me wonder.
4) 2010.  Hmmm...  Even more to contemplate about Dani's timeline, and to wonder what happened in the relatively short period of time before arriving at Wilmot.

And that is even before we get to how well Dani is drawn here.  Kudos.

I've really enjoyed these pinups.  Thanks!

Edited to change my guess as to the identity of a silhouette.  (Wow, that sounds either obsessive, or kind of pathetic, or both, when put that way.)

The costume definitely does pop.  Could he have programmed her to wear a Wonderbra as part of her ensemble for the evening?  Basically, this means she was at Wilmot for nine months or less before Adrian showed up.  However, it does appear that she was, in fact, Maitresse en titre of the New York Kupler harem.

Her flight is still a mystery to me, though.  She fled/escaped/wandered off with The Watch and a full wardrobe of fantasy costumes from her time in the harem?  Could she have taken someone with her if she'd tried?
